Yes it can be done, however don't overspeed and don't pull too hard on the stick, or you'll overstress. Yah I know it's no combat fighter for multiple G's but sometimes you really have to think outside the box.... Quote
Basher11 Posted April 3, 2008 Author Posted April 3, 2008 Sorry I didn't make myself clear enough. Terrain masking is on autopilot mode. Quote
+Spectre_USA Posted April 3, 2008 Posted April 3, 2008 Have you done the canyon race in a Hornet with the Accelerated add-on Eric? Very fun stuff! Quote
+JediMaster Posted April 4, 2008 Posted April 4, 2008 Sorry I didn't make myself clear enough. Terrain masking is on autopilot mode. Ok, so you mean terrain following then? Getting the AP to do that is indeed pretty impressive. Masking is hiding yourself from enemy detection via terrain being between you and them. Several other sims do NOT feature this and will lock you up right through a mountain, although any missiles fired will tend to hit the mountain instead of you. Quote
malibu43 Posted April 4, 2008 Posted April 4, 2008 So, are you going to tell us how you did it? Quote
