OK, so once you have somebody on your 6 chewing your tail off, what manuevers might one try to turn the tables or at least get out of harms way. I suspect I'll be needin that advice more than any other.

Before you say it Falcon, no I don't think flying wings level straight ahead without flenching a bit is the right answer

always thinking about the best for the cattle.



thats our falcon

It depends on what the situation is.

If your plane is more manuverable, you might try turning.

Did this plan come from beneath you? You can probably get away by going faster.

Did this plan come from above? try pulling up. He could end up passing you right by.

many of these guys will follow you to the ends of the earth. use this to your advantage and lead him to your AAA, or a squadmate

Doing a roll is also another option

Just remember, some plans are better Turn and Burn fighters, whereas others are good at boom and zoom. There is really no one answer.

I once saw a waitress (don't think that is PC anymore) dump a tray of 3 heeping dishes of spagetti & sauce with meatballs on a guys head in a restaurant. I wouldn't want to be responsible for that happening for cryin out loud.

However, doing the lawn dart thingie isn't a good plan either.

Hmm, interesting thoughts from lefty, might spill some spagetti, but that's better than my virtual brains I think.....

Thanks for the input ya'll. Send more ideas if you wish, I can use em.

I would like to join up on Sunday afternoons, but on decent soarable Sundays, during the Spring through Fall, I might be pulling some G's in a non virtual aircraft. That's why I didn't answer the call of duty last Sunday. Perhaps there are sessions Sunday in the evening (eastern USA time). I'll look for them, or I'll start joining non FI sessions that have FI guys in them at other times of the week. But how do I determine if my FI buddies are on the red or the blue side so I can join them?

Good night all...Mmmmooooooooo,

Go into the server, select a base and then an aircraft. When you spawn press and hold the "s" key and you will see all the players on screen and which side and aircraft they are flying. If the FI are on the opposing team, simply hit "esc" and switch sides.

Good hunting

Thanks, I can use that bit of info.

Also, someone told me that when I connect to HL, I can hold down the shift key and I should see a browse dialog box that I can use to select a path to my 3.04m or my 4.00m executable. I tried that, didn't work. Can you tell me how else I might select he version of IL2, PF, AEP I want HL to envoke when I select a game...???

Duh,
