Should we let him win this one?

Will shooting Buzz down delay 5.0?:recon:

[ATAG_Lord Wukits]

Pilot please, Yo :salute:

Yo was great at showing some basic maneuvering at the impromptu training. Here are some basic maneuvers we could try out at the next session.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_fighter_maneuvers#Maneuvers
[and some fun things to do https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerobatic_maneuver]

I'll try to make a habit of getting on the server after work to work on some of these. I understand that nothing is ever by the book, but with practice we may be able to start recognizing some situations, and have some knowledge on how to handle them.



Pending on the time for this next event, I'll try to get some of the pilots knocked out paired up again to provide a break for those that would have otherwise had a back to back pairing.
Let me know your thoughts and suggestions.

Nice DRock!

I think we need to set some rules for the moth champ badge.

It's meant to be like how DRock has it.

Winners gets one badge per championship win.

Yes, I'm up for practising those manoeuvres. :)

Wait a second..what happened to my Moth Swatter with bullet holes I submitted....:getaway:

[ATAG_yotheguy]

I love these old videos

If you guys like we could set a day and do some air combat maneuvering training. :salute:

We can start off practicing loops, rolls, and snap rolls. If time we can try some more.

Above video is of Fairchild PT-19 trainer used as primary trainer with the USAAC.

Engine more powerful by approx. 70 hp, (200 vs 135) and approx. 30 mph faster than the Tiger Moth, but not as maneuverable.

My favourite primary trainer was the De Havilland Chipmunk... designed in Canada.

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4b/DHC-1_Chipmunk_St-Rambert_01.jpg

It used the identical engine as the Tiger Moth, but was a low wing monoplane with a stressed skin all aluminum construction... managed to be as fast as the Fairchild with a lot less hp.

Also very maneuverable... nearly as good as the Tiger Moth. Used by the RAF as a trainer right up to 1996.

If I ever was able to afford an aircraft, this would be on my list of go to types.

Fully acrobatic, and a ton of fun to fly. :D

Soooo.. eh, Snapper... You looking for a good time?
:recon:

You're not a cop right? Cause you'd have to tell me if I asked....

:recon:

You want a piece of this Moth Shoot-up... I can promise a great time. Guaranteed you'll get hooked or your money back.

TM Shoot Out 1 - was first up against Yo. He got some *flukey - lucky* shots on me on the first pass and I spun out and crashed. Had a blast as a spectator.

TM Shoot Out 2 - just spectated. Mrs. Snapper wanted to know what I was laughing at - she could hear me from two floors down in my Rec Room/The Swamp.

TM Shoot Out 3 - had to work that day. On a Saturday, no less!!!! :grrr:

TM Shoot Out 4 - gonna try to make it this time. :thumbsup:

Spectators can also be airborne as long as they don't interfere with fights.

[ATAG_yotheguy]

I would rather not have people flying around when the fights are going on.

It's enough just getting everyone lined up on time.

Sorry, I should have clarified.

The ‘spectator’ box was meant to localize ground spectators and participants. The ‘airborne’ comment was meant towards pilots who just want to watch to battle.

That’s why I made Buzz that bright plane, so we wouldn’t mistake him for enemy.lol

Anyways, you guys are in charge of this, the map is just a suggestion.


Cheers

You're a very cunning opponent, DRock - love it!

How about you take starting position B? :P

[ATAG_Lord Wukits]

I think that is a brilliant idea! I agree with Yo, Having multiple people in the air are problematic.

I wonder if there are object people can get into to watch the event. Items like a chair, or bleachers... etc.

Heck if someone trys flying the A1 I'd love to sit in the second seat as a spectator.[as long as I do not become a designated gunner]

Too bad spectators can’t sit in a g50 or something. The open canopy would make viewing a lot better. That upper wing on the moth is restricting at times.

I found the ‘follow friendly’ view to be the best one. No TrackIR needed.

[DRock]

Champions don’t use runways. I will all ready be airborne for my fights.:devilish:


I have about two weeks to milk this champion thing, because I’m not getting that lucky twice in a row.lol

Yeah. Lovely plane. There are a couple of them at Shoreham.

I suggest that having anyone in the air that is not fighting is to invite chaos

Good day chaps!

Not entirely sure of my schedule over the next few weeks, but think I might fit at least some time in.


Was wondering if I could be put down as a spectator by any chance?




Might be good to get involved properly with the chaps ;)


Cheers

Most definitely!

[ATAG_TCP]

Had an absolute ball chaps! Thanks to all who participated!
Looking forward to the next one!
Gotta love the fact that we lost more on the ground than in the air by about half xD

Great for getting more of a feel for multiplayer dogfights
Would 100% encourage all newcomers to ATAG and or Cliffs to come along to one of the upcoming events, great bunch of guys and you are bound to get some priceless tips!

Here are some screenshots I managed to snap, including the best end-of-fight head-on, and some neat shots of Robo's big ol' pink machine ;)

I think "props" goes to Scone for the most wounded successful landing!


Also heard something about an obstacle race course event in the cooking pot??? ;D

[ATAG_Scones]

What great fun the Tiger Moth Shootup is! I had a ball last night! Thanks Yotheguy, Lord Wukits, Kiwifieger, all the participants, and everyone working behind the scenes - truly a great bunch of peeps!

Congrats to the winner, Tibsun, who is still a very formidable opponent even with most of his wings missing! :thumbsup:

:salute:

[DRock]

Good times, thanks guys.:thumbsup:

Congratulations, Tibsun.~S~

Congrats Tibsun!!

Looks like we need to get the thing cleaned after spending a month with DRock. :-P

Vroom Vroom. Stay tuned. Paint up your Su-26s and practice hitting your apexes, avoiding trees, and diving through hangars.

(The most important part is painting the Su-26s though. Can't race without a cool racing paint job.)
