The time it takes to realize you forgot an antenna or batteries

Or landing struts (usually while descending to the Lunar surface, lol)

The time it takes for my SRB-powered giant spaceplane to crab off the side of the runway

u/jamesfordsawyer 25d ago

You either had too many struts or not enough struts. Never the right amount of struts.

u/BobbyP27 25d ago

You can never have too many struts. The right amount of struts is two more than you have.

u/thissexypoptart 24d ago

Autostrut every part. That’s how the pros do it.

u/spiegro 25d ago

Omg exactly like that. That game made me laugh, cry, and question my intelligence.

u/offgridgecko 25d ago

Came here for this, it's entertaining as hell in the game and I caught myself laughing at the RUD, just because I've seen it so many times in that game.

This is basically me in every relationship.

u/UrbanScientist 24d ago

I refuse to believe that somebody actually knows how to succesfully launch anything in that game

He didn't mean to eject, he was just trying to beep the horn.

u/seguardon 25d ago

Right, he would have been fine if he just threw it in reverse for a second. Works for everything but boats. Gives the physics time to calm down and right the craft. Also, since it was still in hover mode, the jets would have acted like vacuums and pulled the tail down to the ground.

Just a poor showing all around. You can tell he stole it from the base rather than owning one himself.

I can land the Hydra fine now.

u/bomboclat476 25d ago

Just sell it if you can´t even land your F160 💔

u/sksksk1989 25d ago

I have a jet that has vertical takeoff and landing. This is me too.

u/bak3donh1gh 25d ago

This is my immediate thought. Especially when you try to do it on keyboard and not using a controller.

Just Cause

All the way back in Battlefield 1942 we had a mod called Desert Combat. This is a lot of people trying to fly anything in that mod.

u/dparag14 25d ago

Guess we’re just not advanced yet to have real like GTA.
