F4U Wing Bug.
« on: September 29, 2006, 10:46:27 AM »
I'm sure this has been reported before, but a few months ago I took some snapshots of a bug I ran across when my F4U turned on me while landing. The wing clipped and as an enemy plane flew by I went ahead and shot at him with my existing wing. I noticed a bug though, the wing which had been clipped COMPLETELY was still firing. So I took some pictures and ran across them again today. Luckily I took more than 1 while firing, cause I noticed while the wing is clipped, it's still firing ammo. (yes I know, there's two counts of MG's on each wing.)
Picture 1:
Circle 1 Shows the powder after the shots are fired.
Circle 2 Shows the rounds falling out of the cylinder, which has just been destroyed from the crash landing.
Circle 3 Shows the ammo count.

Now, here is the second picture, look at the ammo count:

It's nothing serious, just decided to let you know. Once again, i'm pretty sure it's been reported before.

EDIT: After further review, I noticed that the lower MG count has lowered dramatically, and the upper hasn't. So, that shows the left wing isn't firing, just showing the powder burning and the shells dropping.

Bogie, the lower ammo count is going down at double rate compared to the upper one (2 guns firing vs 1 gun firing!).

The damaged wing only shows the graphic of smoke and shells, but doesnt remove bullets from the count.
21 is only half the truth.

Yes, that's what I was "trying" to explain in the edit.
