This me 262 was on the ground for many minutes continuously going around in circles. Earlier I had shot the tail section off and it still climbed smoothly but then started flipping nose over tail really fast and made it's way to the ground. Watching that just proved that the physics model of how parts of planes react with the air in this game is amazing. Anyway , it spent the remaining time spinning about on the ground with one engine going.

Yeah it was running ... seemed to be quite a long time and I would have thought it would have run out of fuel. But having only one engine must have stretched the fuel out twice as long ... wow they thought of everything making this game

hehe ... but I never look at the radar .... actually I wonder if little helpful things like this should be considered cheating. In a real plane you would have much better ability to see around you more quickly or even move your head near the window to see better to the back or over the nose of the plane. Also, monitors have worse resolution than good vision in reality so unless the planes are actully drawn larger than they should be, you have a visual disadvantage compared to reality. Rather than calling it a radar I prefer to think of it as compensation for an inferior sense of situational awareness one gets from sitting in front of a monitor ..... But perhaps for a change I'll try it without the radar.
