Great job David, Im impressed.....

Thanks! Shooting the bridge is both insane and a major kick in the pants at the same time!

@GG why the need to pop why don't you take a run at the railway bridge as well (despite the consequences)...

I'll have to eyeball the railroad brigde a little closer...I actually think I might have a shot at it with a He162...

I'll let ya' know how it goes, either way.

@graugeist: maybe you could try it with the russian tb3, thats a huge plane aswell

I fired up my '46 and took a TB3 up there and discovered a few things...

First, it is Godawful slow although handles relatively well...

The other thing was that it's a bit bigger than I thought at first. I didn't realize just how big it was until I went back and looked at the .trk and saw that I cleared the bridge by mere inches...

Not real sure a B-17 would fit after looking at the TB3's clearance.

[lesofprimus]

Jesus Christ, thats too close....

[Amsel]

Did you get on the first try?

[GrauGeist]

Did you get on the first try?

Affirmative

But to be honest with you...I really didn't think I was going to make it!

I'll post a video I shot going for both bridges (per Gnomey's suggestion) in my He162 this afternoon.

It's a short clip, about 25 seconds, but gives you a front-row seat!

[lesofprimus]

Very good Ghost, Im impressed....

That was cool dude... TB3 was a bit tight... and there's something familiar about the view from rear gunner's... can't quite put my finger on it.. there's usually debris flying by.. real close LOL

[Gnomey]

Good stuff GG.

[sturmer]

that was nicely flown, that tb3 was a bit tight but never the less it worked i think a b-17 would have a bit more space with the gear up.

maybe a stupid question but is there a way with fraps or ingame itself to get rid of the names of enemy and/or friendly planes? so when i take a screenshot that i dont have to edit the names out to get a nice picture so that i could use it as a wallpaper perhaps?

[lesofprimus]

Yes there is, under the difficulty cutton go into the menu and click the button for NO ICONS...

[sturmer]

ok, thnx for the info Les

[lesofprimus]

Ur welcome.... Now lets see some good screenies.... Long distance shots are waste, remember that...

[sturmer]

this one isnt with action, but its a test of a skin and my sig

[Redbeard]

way to go bud, now we know you can do it.

[sturmer]
