  • Am I very slow on the uptake?

    When walking back from the shops just now it dawned on me why Pheonix is named Pheonix.

    It must be because when your bird goes up in flames after a crash it magically is reborne as good as new.

    Please tell me that I am not the only one to miss this for at least 12 months.

    Hmmm,
    Wonder, If I renamed my T Rex and called it a Phoenix 450, would it work on that as well ?

            I wasnt thinking about it conciously, it just seemed to arrive in my head and I thought that it was quite a clever name, but I do have a warped and twisted mind to be fair.

                        I think an amusing feature (and I'll email them to suggest it actually) is to assign a value to each of the aircraft and it can keep a running total at the bottom of the screen or something, like a per session total and a grand total from your chosen start point. What would be really cool is a damage cost estimator function that would figure out what would likely have been destroyed. But just a simple average would be OK. It would just be a fun thing anyway and doesn't need to be too serious.
