Here it was a late crisp summer morning at my airfield just behind the German lines. My flight just went though our flight and med briefings.

The three of us talked about our early morning mission and the beautiful late summer, early fall weather on our way to field to do a quick pre-flight check, before climbing aboard, running though the cockpit check, looking over both side, and yelling contact. The three Medz-Benz coughed, sputter, then roar to life. Looking to my left a waited for the flight lead to give the hand signal for us to take off in flight formation.:amen:

Shortly after take-off I found myself having a hard time catching up to my wing man and flight lead, woundering to myself if it was time for a complete rebuild. Seeing how I was having problems closing the gap, flight lead cut back on the power , giving me a chance to close the gap. :help:

We forumed up and turn to a heading of 295 to get to our assigned patrol position just on this side of the front lines. I hit the warp button to save flight time. While heading to way-point 1, I was watching the countryside go by under my wings. I notice we where approching the front line. perpairing for the up coming turn to WP 2, I noticed the front sliding by under my wings. I check my map and mission details. I was right, we should have made a slight turn to the right, and patrol just behind our lines for 15 mins.:wave:

It was at this point, that I realized that my Flight Leader was a deserter,trader, and a down righ DA, who would be causing me to lose the only pilot I have that lived longer then 2-3 missions. He flew us deep into British held France until we ran out of fuel. (you can't come out of warp on you own):monkies::faint::faint::faint:

My pilot, the one with 11 missions, 4 confirmed, and 7 unconfirmed kills get to sit out the rest of the war.:kilroy: I wounder what the going rate of 3 used DIII is ? :173go1:
 
Didn't experienced pilots tell again and again, that warping kills the immersion?
But this way, your pilot will survive the war most likely (perhaps that helps? a little? no?) :whistle:
 
Flying for the Brits, I had a dogfight, got the dirty end of the stick, and crashed in enemy territory. But my pilot can Never Die.

I was informed that I was captured, then Hospitalized for 18 Days, upon regaining my health, I was placed in prison, for 2 days, then I escaped

Made my Day

I had 43 miles to my first waypoint, I Warped 41 of them

Control + X pulls you out of Warp

I don't know if I'm getting away with anything, to me it's the quick way to climb 12,000 feet :kilroy:
 
I don't use warp so can't say from experience,
but my commands list says Ctrl+X is 'exit warp'.

(edit: Gah, Gimpy beat me to it :)
 
Well I tried control-x to cvome out of warp, but it was no go.

Flight leader must have mess with our plane control the night before. Sorry dog.:whistle::whistle::whistle::whistle:
