So, here I am, listening to Eminem, eating ice cream and trying out the Real Flight G3 Demo, flying the Impala .30 with my ghetto keyboard. I pulled up the key function list and went "ooooooohhh
"
An idea popped into my head - I noticed I could increase wind speed. So I bumped it up to max - 50 mph, and went to try to fly the heli in it.
^^^ I don't know who in the right mind would ACTUALLY fly with that kind of wind (almost a mild tropical storm), but hey. It's a sim
I hit full throttle, and the heli takes off and dissapears out of sight within 3 seconds
. After that, another light bulb lit up. What if.... so there I was, listening to Eminem, eating ice cream, about 1000 ft above the ground with 50mph wind, flying a dot
. I kill the engine, and down it comes. Forget auto-rotations, this thing was falling like a rock, rolling and kartwheeling, at over 50 mph
Came down and made a nice splat, and silence. There was pretty much nothing left.
Then I tried going insanely high again, and coming down to pick up as much speed as possible, and *try* to recover, hoping the heli doesn't burn up in the atmosphere in the process
. I go up at full throttle, to over 700 feet. I turn the heli's engine down and do a nosedive. Next thing I know, a heli whips by the camera at 90. Too bad it grazed the ground... it rolled until it was out of sight
Well, that was fun. Can't wait to get the full version.
Cheers,
