Goood day, everybody!
Saturday, August the 20:th there were many pilots again on ATAG server. It was fun. Did this event start earlier that the previous ones? I was surprised as I got online thinking that there was some 50 minutes to go before the game would start, but no. The game was on. This was hilarious as I too, was able to fly now before my bedtime and take part in the event.
I`m having some issues with earphones, so I did not join the Teamspeak
. It was exciting to fly alone knowing that there were tens of pilots airborne.
I took off with a Junkers Ju 88 A-1 from Tramecourt, climbed and attacked Boulogne bridge. I was quite sure that the some of the many Spitfires there would attack me, so I prepared myself with enough altitude and speed.
What a surprise it was, that there was nobody there. During the whole flight I met no-one!
I learned from the Information Window that Mr. Marlow got shot down and had to bail out. But that happened somewhere else.
I landed and refueled. When I was taking off for the second flight, something happened, which has happened before several times and different ways. As I was speeding up and having moved perhaps 50% of the airstrip, tire blew up or something else happened. My speed was not very high yet and that´s why I was able to control the sudden, violent movements of the aircraft. I steared to the side of the airstrip and left it.
This kind of things has happened to me many times and I wonder if the second or the third flight is coded to be more dangerous than the original one. I know that I have died many times during the take off after re-fuel, because my propeller pitch has been wrong. But yesterday I checked this thing before starting the engines. I wonder if anyone else have faced this kind of issues with the take offs after re-fuel.
Thank you very much... eagerly waiting for the next event,
Walstein
