Easy day i thought, a simple flight from Edinburgh to London Heathrow in my Bae 146-200. On approach to Heathrow at 3000ft, just
turning past the houses of parliament for a final approach when i suddenly hear the sound of bullets...
Next thing i know all hell breaks loose, i've been hit, lost hydraulics thanks to some maniac marksman deciding to use my plane for target
practice. Now i have to land with no flaps, thankfully i manage that ok, get a round of applause from the passengers on landing and now i
can go change my underpants because i wasn't expecting that on approach to Heathrow.
It's a very cool feature, but i'm not convinced London is a war zone. I've since edited the relevant config file to remove the houses of
parliament as a terrorist stronghold lol. I changed the eiffel tower as well as it's not normally somewhere i'd expect to find a lunatic with a
gun. Still a great feature though even if it did scare the crap out of me
