Author Topic: Bf109G14 tail when landing (Read 366 times)

1.8Mb film of something thats happened a couple of times. Basically when the tail drops on the G14 after landing, the entire tail section can drop off.

I'm sure I hadn't even recieved a single ping in the film to account for any damage, plus it happened once when the main wheels hadn't even left the ground - I changed my plans after starting to roll down runway, hit the brakes when the tailwheel hit the tarmac the tail fell off.

I think it may happen if your tailwheel hasn't made contact with the ground before you reach a complete stop - when the tail drops it smashes the rear.

Edit - just tried this offline and it's as I suspected. If you spawn G14 start rolling and get the tail up, kill power and hit the brakes while keeping the tail up while slowing down, when you come to a complete stop as soon as the tailwheel makes contact with the tarmac the entire tail section drops off.

Tried it in G2 and P51 and this doesn't happen, I'm assuming it isn't supposed to.

Well the 109 modeling could use some tweaking.

I have also experienced this bug in the G-14, and in another plane. I cannot recall which other plane had it, but I'll keep an eye out.
