Microsoft Took an Awful Lot of Trouble

[Charl]

...and then they sort of ignored them, I suppose not PC.
You have to enable visual damage
visual_damage=1
and then drive up to a tree or something in slew mode, release, and catch it in slew again. before it terminates.
You really have to try quite hard to get the crash damage, the Ford Trimotor can be quite satisfying, loses whole engines!
I suppose once you've done that, then you never go back and do it again...unless there's a screenshot contest allowing only stock planes!

[Dion500]

Well there's your problem

Nice shots, this months comp might turn into a crash fest

[Ian Warren]

that,s what the third engine was for... loose a wing .. dump the engine..... Charl ya spose to dump that engine , come on see/saw engine-airing

[Charl]

Alright then...



There!
That feels better...

[Ian Warren]

PERFECT ! .. we must put her on our domestic route as soon as possible , we could save millions on the repair fixxy thingies

[Charl]

Oh No!
Now look what you've gone and done!

Ooohps , whoopsy ...

[omitchell]

Ok I think we need to investigate Charl's flying and maybe a pee in the cup exam before we let him in the air again

[ThrottleUp]

Hahaha!! This is a fun thread....I had no idea there was such modelling!

OK I did that cup exam thing and all, and the next thing - out of NOWHERE - there's this Gulfstream!
I tell you, if I hadn't been wearing a seatbelt...

[IslandBoy77]

Wow - you certainly don't do things by halves - except aircraft...

[omitchell]

Was the the Gulfstream that was piloted by the Purple Elephant and Pink Bunny formerly of Pacific Blue? lol

BTW Great shots mate

And in what section of the CFG do you add "visual_damage=1"?

The Baron 58 is the spiffed-up version of a time-tested favorite, made more modern by its new Continental Special engines. The Baron combines the attractiveness of Beechcraft design with the reliability of twin engines, resulting in a gorgeous workhorse of an aircraft."


Happy crashing...

[omitchell]

Cheers Charl. Look forward to more of your wreckage strewn pictures

[Charl]

Now Ms Simpson, look over there on the console, the right hand lever that says Park Brake, pull out, no! do that before you push that other one that says Throttle - quickly now...



Any accusations of sexism can quickly be settled by flying the default Mooney, which indeed has a female pilot, front left

[Ian Warren]

Now Charl ! I do wonder how come you just simply jump on your computer ... and break that !

No need - there's another wonderful Microsoft product that can simulate this for you, any time you want!
Windows Vista it's called, and was quite common until recently.
I have a spare copy if anyone would like to have a go...

[Naki]

haha good stuff ...this cant be done in FSX? I had a look at the CFGs of a couple of default aircaft and couldnt see anything.

Nice one! Had a good hearty "guffaw" over that one! Having said that, my copy of Vista Business behaves itself pretty well - and it's let's me play Halo 2...

As soon as i heard of 'Vista' , I immediately thought of the dried food package 'Vesta ' and their selection off de-hydrated food packages , looked go on the shelf but !
