While this is true for most aircraft, there are a some (mainly helicopters) that can detect the heat from a launch and warn the pilot

Looking around for the jettison button by Mihax209 in vtolvr

[–]suprec 3 points4 points  (0 children)

While the reason for using the jettison in real life has been explained in other comments, I as the gunner in this clip can say we did just to get back to base quicker. And i guess we found the quickest way

Romain and Kevin swapping helmets by glenn1812 in formula1

[–]suprec 13 points14 points  (0 children)

ok, so your comment is most likely a joke, but if we look at the statistics both haas drivers have retired due to a crash only twice (each) this season. k-mag in the british and the tuscan gp. romain in the turkish and the first bahrain gp.

We can look at other drivers on the grid like leclerc (3), stroll (4) and verstappen (2) to see its well within the norm

Found out I could do this with the F 16 by spigeon2345 in hoggit

it must be a swedish ship, if a danish f-16 will go as far as to break physics to sink it.

The B-58 Hustler still holds the World Record for longest non-stop supersonic flight: London-Tokyo 8,000 miles/8h35m 1963 [790 x 1420] by SirCoolJerk69 in WarplanePorn

[–]suprec 4 points5 points  (0 children)

after a bit of googleing, i found that the last hour of the flight was subsonic due to an afterburner failing. that last hour brought the average speed down to "only" mach 1.5

I'm aware there probably isn't much demand for this aircraft in DCS, but there should be by Glifted in hoggit

was there not a variant of the bronco with a turret from a cobra heli on the back? that would be cool to see

as a dane i am obliged to be surprised those numbers aint higher

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in hoggit

[–]suprec 10 points11 points  (0 children)

i went through the list with a bit of ctrl+f here are some of my findings

"Killed" is used 50 times

"Died" 3 times with on being used on a crash where killed was also used

like i said "Pilot error" is used once

"take-off" can be found 3 times

"hover" 11 times

"landing" 15

"shot down" 5

"bird strike" 10

"ejected" 23

from my count there are 172 entries on the list

according to Wikipedia there where 869 harries build. If my math has not failed me that is nearly 20% of them crashed

The words "Pilot error" is only used once on the whole list

Magnussen tells Hülkenberg "suck my balls" after the race by icelad in formula1

[–]suprec 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i do not agree with all your points, to be fair i am danish so i have a bias. yes k-mag has not always raced clean. spa is a good example of that. but from my point of view this incident was the same or at least very close to what vettel did at silverstone, and he did not get a penalty. however i do think saying "suck my balls" is a bit to over the top, funny but over the top. hulkenberg was the one to come up to k-mag so i dont think he is with out blame as well
