Just tried the mission where you take the grumman goose to resupply an archiological site in the Jungle
Awesome - except for one problem - read on ;)
Landed at the first lake, and picked up the supplies
Landed at the second lake and dropped off the supplies
Archiologist lady walks out to the plane and wants us to fly over an area where they suspect a hidden snake temple might be.
You have the ability to turn it down by saying "no thanks, i think i would rather play it safe and head back to the airport" or you can say "sure, lets go." of course im thinking in my gut - play it safe and get the hell out of dodge, but im saying "wicked! hidden snake temple! im there!"
so we blast off and find the hidden temple on the edge of a lake, the lady wants to land and taxi up to the edge for a closer look, she gets out and steals a cursed statue from the temple just then the whole plase starts to collapse around me. I fire up the engines and firewall it to get out of there.
after that everything went to crap - flight control malfunction - instrument failure - right engine fails, left engine catches fire just 2 miles from the airport so now its a grumman goose glider... i did a perfect smooth landing in the grass just a couple of hundred feet from the edge of the runway (no more speed or altitude to play with to reach the numbers) and it was perfect and the screen says "YOU CRASHED - MISSION FAILED" to which i reply "#*&@#*&$% ! ! ! ! ! ! !
40 minutes at least spent trying to accomplish this challenge. :'(
despite the failure of the mission - it was fun to play it. :)
Microsoft has made the flight simulator franchise fun again!
;D ;D ;D
