mytai01 Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 I was flying a mission in the Bf 109 above 35,000 feet when my pilot suddenly and instantly died. One second I'm flying along happy the next second I'm staring at my wingman's plane from the F2 postion. Is this supposed to happen?

PicksKing Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 I guess he died because of low air pressure. He couldn't breath. 35k feet is very high for such a machine.

mytai01 Posted April 27, 2016 Author Share Posted April 27, 2016 (edited) If it was hypoxia then why did it happen so suddenly and not start showing symptoms at a lower level?

MiG21bisFishbedL Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 This is why you turn off all electronics on a flight. Gameboys and smartphones emit radiation lethal to pilots. Reformers hate him! This one weird trick found by a bush pilot will make gunfighter obsessed old farts angry at your multi-role carrier deck line up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mytai01 Posted April 27, 2016 Author Share Posted April 27, 2016 I thought they modeled malfunctions with the pilots now! Strokes, heart attacks. wait they need to model severe airsickness! Picture it! You're flying along and turning, and before you know it, you toss your cookies all over the cockpit!

Oubaas Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Could have been an aneurysm. They'll drop you quick. Then again, you may have flown over an area infected with Ebola. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mytai01 Posted April 27, 2016 Author Share Posted April 27, 2016 No. It was in the Bf 109 Challenge Campaign. No enemy anti air assets.

mytai01 Posted April 27, 2016 Author Share Posted April 27, 2016 I'm pretty sure the Oxygen wasn't on because I tried it again with it on and made it to 40k without dying.

Cool Breeze Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 While I haven't tried it in the 109, rapid onset death from hypoxia common when I forget the oxygen. You can kill yourself on the ground in the Mig-15!
