The things we do when we're bored!

[Bob Viking]

Gents and Ladies,
I feel sure you have all seen this game:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/drama/rockface/game/main.swf

before but a couple of us here today are playing new challenges!
Start the training mission and see how high you can get and yet still make a safe landing before running out of fuel! We've managed about 4000 feet so far with a safe landing!
It's much more fun than the actual game!
Don't worry about the survivors. Just gaff them off!
BV:ok:

[Bob Viking]

5082 feet so far.
Still working on it!
BV:ok:
Yes I am bored.
Going home soon!

[Stretch182]

6562

But still playing !!

[Bob Viking]

8018 feet!
I reckon I can still improve though!
The bloody casualties become the limiting factor!
BV:8

[Bob Viking]

As has just been pointed out to me, you can pick the casualties up first though!
I'm not too bright me!
BV:\

[Archimedes]

Mmm. Rescue casualty. Climb. Discover up cursor has stuck. Last known helicopter position directly over heli-pad at 45,624ft.... :\

[Bob Viking]

My oppo has scored 17100 and landed safely.
I have just pipped him with 18557!
He is currently in the process of trying to snatch back the record!
BV:8:ok:

[Bob Viking]

Beaten again!
My buddy has just scored 21094!!
BV:(

[Gainesy]

Haven't you got some bombs to drop or something?:)

[Bob Viking]

Not for a while!
Nothing bigger than a 3kg'er when I do as well!
BV:(

[flipflopman RB199]

What's the highest you can actually make the rescue from though?

I've just had over 1000 feet of rope out, and made the rescue!

700 point "INSANE WINCH BONUS" too!!


Flipflopman

[Bob Viking]

I was just trying that as well!
Only done about 500 feet so far but still working on it!
On a slightly different note.
If helicopters aren't your bag try this one.

Again, I'm sure you'll recognise the game but see if you can get her flying upside down and backwards! You can still put the fires out but you can't pick up water!
Once again, yes I am bored.
Going home imminently.
BV:)

Along the lines of the other fire bomber game.


Slightly better in my view

[aviate1138]

I got to 84,880 feet then it said I had hit a mountain!
Maybe it's because I am on a Mac? :)

[Alber Ratman]

Nope. No Water

But the birdstrikes with the flaming engines are cool.:E

Like the way the cursor keys operate as down arrow = pitch up

Designer knew what he was doing!:)

[Op_Twenty]

Thought I was good with 9456 ft but then I am a decidedly low average jet mate! You rotary guys are just awesome...

[Rakshasa]

PMSL, Christ, I cacked my first go up so badly it was almost a Monkeydust sketch.

My ribs hurt now, (the cheapo porn soundtrack didn't help either!)

[samuraimatt]

Whoops ended up in vortex ring state.

[flipflopman RB199]

Sign of a bad pilot SM,

As has been done to death over in the Osprey thread, you should have pushed the cyclic forward and rode through the vortex!

:p


Flipflopman

[Melchett01]

Picked up casualty. Got to 20,747ft. Killed casualty on way back down when cursor stuck and had a bit of a hard landing.

That'll learn em for getting stuck half way up a mountain!

Maybe I should give up on my ambition to fly SAR - the speed I hit the HLS at I think CAS or AI is probably more my forte:ok:

[samuraimatt]

I haven't got a cyclic, only a right key.

[flipflopman RB199]

Well press!!

press, press, press!!!


Flipflopman

[samuraimatt]

Ok so I pressed, pressed and pressed again and all that happened was a noticeable vibration of the helicopter. This was is followed by a rolling tendency and then the nose pitched up and then the vibration became worse and eventually I lost control and crashed. Any ideas?

[Hot Charlie]

Got to 25,000', tried to come down. It didn't. First casualty went at 57,000'!

Must try downwards...:O

[Bob Viking]

Who said we were all Rotary mates?!
Just multi-talented and decidedly above average!
BV:p

[Vatican69]

19775ft, landed on, refuelled, saved second casualty:E

24715ft...is that the record? Is it sad that I have spent about two hours of my Sunday playing this?

[kevmusic]

It's a cr@p game. I hate it! I hate it!! I HATE IT!!!!!!!!!!!

[Bob Viking]

This time try and see how far you can get laterally before returning and making a safe landing.
I just got out to 1782 to the 'West' but ran out of fuel within about 3 inches of the pad!
I'm not sure whether the trick is to use lots of little bursts of power or less, longer bursts.
More flight testing is required I feel.
Ppruners, over to you!
BV:ok:
Ps. Yes, I am still bored but going home now. I'll see how you all got on later!

[Gainesy]

Casualty?:confused: What feckin casualty? I thought that little wavy bloke was the marshaler.

[Bob Viking]

1680 out to the west again.
Plenty of fuel to spare.
Can't be arsed to better it though.
Really must get on with some work now!
BV:uhoh:

[Wensleydale]

Whatever happened to the Uckers Board?:confused:

[OCCWMF]

It's now used as a mouse mat on the island of dreams.....

[Bob Viking]

I wondered how long it would take you!
BV;)

[Alber Ratman]
