i wonder about the long term destiny of flight sims

[raaaid]

i said it in the other thread most pilots are a litle crzay

myself i flew to recover from the bike adiction aftyer an accident paraglide how crazy you got to be to do that

i get the high heart beat with this game identical to the bike, and ten years later this game still makes my heart beat fast when i fight online

edit:

according my high school tests i have aptitudes to be a militar or a cop who would say it

mybe thats why i fit well in the comunity with so many real militars and wannabe militars

[White Owl]

Okay, BBs or paintball or other kinds of real projectiles could be a big problem, that's true...

How about laser tag? How hard would it be to mount that kind of system on some RC planes?

I read an article once that described people dogfighting RC planes. They attached long paper streamers to both planes, and the object of the game was to cut the other guy's streamer with your wing. That sounds like fun.

We do RC WW1 combat once a year, its expensive due to midairs and crashes. We try to cut their streamer using our props. Here are some pics...

wow people who likes to fly are special pay attention to the music

edit:

oh so propellers are almost invisible after all

watching the video i was wondering:

the smaller the plane the better turner the faster for less drag

did they make any miniplane in wwii? that could have been pretty effective as a fighter

[Herbs107]

Its just to expensive, we can put small vid/cameras on the planes and get combat footage, which makes you dizzy just looking at it. FPV is to expensive to set up, and i think would make it to hard to fly. Plus in a dogfight there is usually 18 aircarft airborne at once, you need to have your wits about you, not your head buried behind a dark set of goggles..

[raaaid]

you gotta wonder

they could sell a remote controled plane like that control via cell phone at whatever distance for less than a hundred bugs

man this is not capitalism at all when such thing is not in the market

Privacy laws make these illegal in some countries, as far as I know Australia is one of them.

I seen some movie when I was kid, and they had rc's planes that shot darts.

Other than that I want to put a camera on my rc rock crawler and drive it from big flatscreen in the lounge

Depends on the state. New South Wales has the Surveillance Act, which does not allow any person to use a device to look into someone's house or yard. You would have to show some sort of 'mens rea' for the offence to be valid, however I can see massive problems if someone decided to report an incident to police. I wouldn't charge someone for it if they were just flying around but I can imagine a few people using the toy for other purposes.
Most people would not be using the device for a criminal purpose but I can see some problems if people started putting the myriad of things seen in yards and in homes on Facebook, You Tube etc.
