Olham Posted May 17, 2010 Posted May 17, 2010 Hihi, I could laugh buckets full about myself! Around 18 h, I had enlisted a new pilot with Jasta 17, to fly a new skin. And I had already gone through the briefing, and sat in my Albatros D Va ready for go, when I realised I was hungry. So I paused the sim, and started to make me spaghetti with fried aubergines and Mozzarella. Whilst I prepared these, my neighbouress rang to say thank you for a favour I had done her. She found it smelled very good, and I invited her to eat with me. She had made a salad, and so we ate all this, and had a nice chat. After a long time, I came back to my screen and saw: "Oh, the mission is still waiting!" I released "pause", started the engine, rolled along the field and took off. Made the usual look over my shoulder, before I would check the map and compass. And what the heck - we are under attack! Dark bulky shadows rushing over the field, one of our craft is on fire! SPAD XIII !!! For a milisecond I thought "What a wonderful idea from the devs, to build in such a surprise attack! Man, what a shock!" But then I remembered: it was a "scramble" - I had only forgotten! Hihihi!!! Quote

Hihihi!!! good one . reminds me of, when i started once a allied career, and i have 99,99% german campaigns, i was flying and there was after a while an albatros flying behind me. i was yawningly and bored looking at him. nothing special. when i suddenly realized i'm an englishman an no german, i jumped like sitting down with my arse on a sting . that made me older. good story, olham Quote
Hasse Wind Posted May 18, 2010 Posted May 18, 2010 I think everybody with plenty of hours playing OFF has experienced something like that. I know I've sometimes lost pilots for very stupid reasons. Here's a useful hint for everybody: don't play OFF when you're tired and have had a little too much to drink. Quote
