Anything involving impairment in your vision can cause your career to fall in the aviation world. (To my knowledge at least)

Can't have anything less than 20/20 vision, really.

I've heard that if your vision decreases while you're already a qualified pilot and it can be corrected to 20/20, then you can continue flying in some cases, but I think that would depend on what flying you were doing. And that might also have been in the past, rather than currently. I imagine having to use NV equipment makes it more of an issue.

Obviously any kind of injuries that require regular physical therapy, or anything that affects your respiratory system could be an issue, as would anything that affects your nervous system or skeletal system - G forces and pressure on the skeleton, reflexes and co-ordination (especially hand-eye co-ordination) and keeping your body supplied with oxygen, as well as lung capacity are all vitally important parts of piloting, I'd say.

And that's only physical injuries. Psychological ones are probably more common, and can be much more debilitating.

NV equipment tends to not only degrade your vision, but can cause neck problems due to their weight. Even helmet mounted ones are heavy enough to cause considerable neck problems.

Yeah, I guess that ties in with the need to keep strength up to some degree as well.
I'm not sure how regularly pilots use NV equipment, though I suppose it's a lot more frequent nowadays than it used to be, and I'm not sure what kind it is, but I guess it's not going to be much smaller or lighter than any of the stuff used anywhere else.

Its mainly helicopter pilots that use them. But it still causes neck problems

Trip's over, I'm back. How's everyone? Glad to see you haven't let this thing die in my absence. I'll read over posts and do an IC if necessary. If you have any questions or requests I may have missed in my absence, please ask them again and I'll gladly answer.

Also, I saw someone steal a laptop and fall down a bunch of stairs and get jumped on by a random guy at a train station today. It was very memorable.

Yay, glad you're back and that your trip was okay.
My news OOC is that I have a job starting tomorrow, for a minimum of a month, woo!

Related to the game, my questions are that are there any heavy bombers in this group we're fighting, or is it all fighters?

Silver's question (too lazy to do an actual quote)

No heavy bombers as of yet, they're currently on approach to the city but fighters are the priority at the moment. However, regarding ground attack stuff, we have a few Harriers, some Su-25's and other multiroles.

Slypheed's question.

I prefer to keep a good pace, so I usually post at latest within three days of the last post, but if some players give some justification as to why they can't post soon, I'll slow things down a bit and stretch segments somewhat (I won't go straight to fighting bombers yet, I'll have a bit more fighting with enemies for the moment).

Hope that answers things alright, if all goes well, I'll do a post tommorow morning after I get some well-deserved sleep.

OK, so having gotten my new PC running I tried emulating ACZ again. No frame rate problems but some severe issues with textures and sound.

Normal emulation problems. Some games run better with an emulator than others, and it seems like ACZ is one of them that has compatibility issues.

I'll have to give AC5 a try since that's the one I want to LP at some point.

Scott's character sheet has been edited, following a discussion with Rafale. He's got a bit of a different background, and is a fair bit older now too.

My lack of creativity is killing me, and a mix of writers block...
Edit: Anyone know how to help with writers block or is this just something to wait out?
