just ignore and let this one die

Oh yeah. He owns the B17 too. I almost bought that one but wantd to try something smaller. Good suggestion.

I got it from Niki Wilder's place. Wilder West. It's an aircraft carrier.

I'm on it. Literally.

The "4" was inserted to upgrade it Havoc 4

Thanks for the kind words in your other post, I quoted this one because....

I can't believe I actually submitted pics for a rating LOL
I guess I am seeing the fun that my mind tried to avoid... or something like that

Hmmm, Brenda, it's aptly named. It flies like a dog.

It's the standard arrow keys and page up/down for throttle, but it isn't especially responsive.

The Spitfire and the P-40 handle much better. The B-17 remains awesome, as you know.

I would certainly recommend the Spitfire, but if your sensibilities prevent you from looking cool in a British plane, the P-40 is the best small plane out there, I'd say.

trout: no worries, do the rating when you can, but be sure to post the reply here hehe


Out for an afternoon stroll, Rha turns the bend in the road and sees two ladies wresting in the mud, in a semi undressed state, and a couple male onlookers. One of the males is in a rather muddy, albeit shiny suit of armor, the other dressed in casual clothing, totally covered in mud. The later looks a bit shocked and Rha wonders if it is the semi clad mud covered ladies that shocked him. "He does looks like he needs a hug though" she thinks to herself.
Rha removes her outer layers of clothing and footwear and lays them safely on a rock nearby, "do not want to get them dirty", she says to no one in particular.
Walking carefully through the mud, clad only in her undergarments, Rha walks up to the shocked looking gentleman and wraps her arms around him and laying her head on his shoulder she hugs him ever so gently.

Turning her head and looking up at him she asks..."Why are they in the mud, do they not know they are ruining their lovely dresses?"

/me drives up the road and cries, "Out of my way, yon peasants!"

/me yelps and uses your momentum to roll you onto your back, me on top, and gets mud in your hair... she then starts drawing patterns on your face with the mud, laughing as you gain a mustache and glasses.



EDIT: damn picture error....I'm not changing it becasue I love the pic...just right click > properties and copy the url if you wanna see it lol.
EDITED EDIT: now it's showing up for me....I'm so confused

/me runs back to safety of this thread, after looking in on the "Mainland Sim Full: Who Is To Blame?" thread

I agree with Max on this one. Sorry I wasn't around earlier. I have both the P-40 and the Spitfire (and the Zero from the same builder). All have excellent flight scripts. No plane in SL is going to fly like you want if you're looking for flight sim characteristics - by that, I mean if you are used to good flight sim software, don't expect much from SL.

The thing to remember in fixed wing as opposed to a helicopter is that you can't hover, so you really need to keep your eye on the minimap. I can't fly without it. Try to hit sim crossings at a right angle. If you get that bottom of the ocean view, just hang tight for a second - it fixes itself quite often. Also, at flight speed for most planes, stuff doesn't rez fast enough for you to avoid it, so try to stay in a range where most people aren't planting their skyboxes.

My favorite trick is using the beacons. If you want to fly to the hangout, for example, mark it, then fly to the beacon, adjusting for sim crossings. The same goes for flying with friends. If someone is on your friends list, have them give you permission to mark their location, if only for the duration of the flight. Once you mark them, you can pick them up by the beacon and it's much easier to fly with them.

Landing is easy. Precision landing, like on a roof, just takes practice.

wow!

I .. uhhh ... need to go to the wash room a minute.

posting this here. it'll be buried soon enough.

the bitch is back. you've been warned.

mute is your friend.

I said I agree with Max, but I have to point out that if anyone's sensibilities prevent them from looking cool in a British plane like a Spitfire, then they are complete idiots. The Spitfire is, far and away, the coolest plane I own. The P-40 is up there. The Biplane is a classic, but the Spitfire is the jewel of my collection.

are these models, remote controls, or real airplanes that a human can physically fit into and go up in to the sky with the plane firmly attached to their ass?

?

Isabeau is your friend, too. (Unless I'm the bitch? )

nah you just the lil chicken hon (well according to your little sig under your pic you are)

hehe

*laughs wildly*

/me drags her SuperSoaker out of the mud and squirts you down. The mud makes interesting patterns and runnels on your skin.

/me grabs you around the waist and whispers in your ear,

"The boys are watching us...let's give them something to remember".

/me flings herself backward into the mud, still holding tightly to you...

*CENSORED*

It's 2008 for God's sake. You'd think this damn suit of armor could be made out of carbon fiber or kevlar or titanium or something a little lighter.

/me teeters dangerously to one side and waves his arms clumsily to avoid tipping over while his visor slams down over his face.

A thin coat of rust begins to appear.

hums "If I only had a heart..."

Just be glad you're not the Scarecrow.

For all I know, I might be flammable. I've certainly been accused of lacking a brain.

Oh the Spitfire is flying art no doubt. Flying one would only add to my charm and sophistication.... . There are certain planes that just are works of beauty in design. The Fokker triplane, the Spitfire, The Mustang, the B17, the F4 Phantom, The Starfighter.

/me looks for somewhere to plug in the electric can opener

Mmmmm, fish for dinner!
