mvsgas Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 (edited) Like the title says. Myself, I've just done taxiway takeoff, I think. :smartass: In DCS - Going in for guns on a AAA site. - Try to depart the aircraft at low altitude. - Fly like an idiot most of the time. - Go for 1 v 10 thinking: " I got this" In RL - Replace engines - Replace landing gear components. - Replace flight control surfaces. - Replace Hydraulic components. - Inspected the aircraft while knowing what I am looking at. - Sitting on the back seat, looking out the canopy with a grin from ear to ear, Saying:"ohh that cool, Ahhh, that neat....what does that do? and that?" - Sitting on the front seat while the aircraft being towed around, making jet noises and pretending to fly. Edited February 20, 2019 by mvsgas To whom it may concern, I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that. Thank you for you patience. Many people don't want the truth, they want constant reassurance that whatever misconception/fallacies they believe in are true..

Voodoo_One Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Probably all of the things. Especially war crimes in general. Flying my plane into enemy planes after I used up my ammo? Check Getting angry about AI and shoot my own people? Check Turn on autopilot and go take a piss? Check Pause and look up things in the manual? Check Exceed the capabilities of the air frame a couple of times, landing for refuel/ammo and going again? Check Having a leak in the fuel system, but no time for the 180s repair waiting? Continue flying - So check... And so on lol 1000 flights, 1000 crashes - perfect record Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worrazen Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 (edited) Haha great thread! That's exactly what I have though quite a while back but wasn't enough for me to look around here and then I thought it could be quite a lot stuff we do every day that doesn't happen in reality. But at least the most popular and/or obvious could be documented here for the kicks. I once did a corkscrew landing from a ridicolous height and managed to land nicely, but it probably isn't anything new.

Jumbik Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Ignore ATC, load up everything, take of from ramp, use flare above airfield, get into unecessary danger, destroy 1/10th of what I planned to, use afterburner the whole way back at low altitudes over cities, damage gear when landing, drift at the end of the runway ... You know, all the stuff you would get fired for and into a jail. :D Do, or do not, there is no try. -------------------------------------------------------- Sapphire Nitro+ Rx Vega 64, i7 4790K ... etc. etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlankerMan Posted February 21, 2019 Author Share Posted February 21, 2019 Okay, I've done some thinking, and here's a list of the stuff I've done that real pilots can't/don't do. Taxiway takeoff, as I mentioned earlier. External views. Labels. Using the F10 map for situational awareness (as well as to see if anybody's fired on me and I don't know it). Entered other aircraft. Ended missions before landing. Exited missions if I get shot, so my logbook won't show an ejection/death. I might think of others later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firmek Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 (edited) Okay, I've done some thinking, and here's a list of the stuff I've done that real pilots can't/don't do. Taxiway takeoff, as I mentioned earlier. ... I had read at least about one real example that pilots actually practiced a takeoff from taxiways. The goal of the exercise was practicing getting into air as many planes in a shortest time as possible. The drill was that one flight would start from one end of the runway, second flight from the opposite and while the first from the taxi way. That was MiG-21 pilots in Warsaw Pact. On the topic - a loop in Mi-8. I'm sure noone with a common sense would do that in a real life.

NeilWillis Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Died, on numerous occasions, and watched my plane hit the deck in a ball of flames, then simply got into another plane and did it all again. Flown in my shreddies. Watched myself from outside the aircraft. Flew unlicenced, unqualified, and ignored all air traffic calls. Carried out suicidally rash manoeuvres just for the hell of it. Got into loads of aircraft and flown them (after a fashion) having never even picked up the pilot's notes. Pulled high G manoeuvres without feeling any more than +1 G. Travelled almost instantly from Georgia to Nevada to Normandy to the Persian Gulf without the aid of a Teleporter. All pretty damned obvious though, so why the silly question?
