Post subject:  Aircraft - a new!? forum game - SOME THINGS HAPPENED
Ok this game is very simple, requires no dice roll or random number, and I'm making it up as I go right now to see how it works.

You are the pilot of an aircraft


Your mission is very simple, to defeat all the enemy planes and be the last man standing... or flying.
The trick is, you have to use only the controls in your cockpit (more on those later) and there is only a certain amount you can do per turn.

Effectively, you're limited to two commands (each of your hands) and each movement has the same level of importance.
  • Left hand:
    • Activate/retract landing gear
    • Adjust throttle
    • Activate flares
  • Right hand:
    • Adjust pitch (turn up and turn down)
    • Adjust roll (do a barrel roll)
    • Fire machine gun

But how do these commands work?
Like so:
> Increase speed to 40%
> Roll 30 degrees to the left

BUT I WANT TO USE THE RUDDERS / I WANT TO PITCH AND ROLL AT THE SAME TIME / I WANT TO CHOOSE MY AIRCRAFT:
Save it for later, I'll include it if things get more serious.

There are currently 8 places available:
  • Nighthawk
  • Natti
  • maart3n
  • Fail Flail
  • Asklar
  • The Chairman
  • Yoman987
  • Me


So help me try this thing out and we'll see where it goes.

Then I must withdraw.
Flying is not my forte.

I loved the sound of that.

Count me in too.

If we are going to be the pilots, are we going to have a crew?

When there's a "activate flares" action, shouldn't there also be a "fire heat-seeking missile" one?
Otherwise the flares would be pretty useless.
Edit: Also, should we really be unable to move horizontally?(since we can't use the rudders)

You can go horizontally, it just takes 3 turns indtead of one:
Roll 80ish degrees to the left/right
Pitch up
Roll 80ish degrees back to the right/left (level out)

Roast, I'm going tomorrow to a poor town and help them on building houses.

I'll go for a week. If you need to give my place to someone else so you can begin the game do it, but I must be the first one on the waiting list then (it's fair).

Well, that is if the game works, and I hope it does.

You're right Yoman, I didn't think of that.
