190's rip off wings easily

[Krusty]

I've ripped both wingtips off a A8 and a F8 before diving from 9K to drop a bomb, then gently pulling up at about 3k or so (not even blacked out) BAM-BAM there go the wings!

It's not right, I tell ya.

In the course of flying virtually every fighter in the set each tour, in the MAs and the TA, I have not unintentionally ripped off a wing in many years. Generally speaking, I don't see any need to pull more than 6g under most circumstances.

However, if a person's stick isn't set up properly, or it is spiking, it's easy to over-load a fighter.

If you are breaking wings, take a look at your stick settings. Add some additional damping and dead band. Adjust the sliders to prevent getting big control surface deflections for relatively small stick movements or displacement.

Above all, be smooth and gentle in you inputs. Don't jerk the controls. Slow is smooth and smooth is fast.

My regards,

Widewing

If there is a need to go above 6G or not is not the question.

If a plane can manage 8G it shouldn't rip off the wings at 8G.

If it does rip off the wings there is something wrong with the programcode and it should be solved. Not more and not less.

The rip off of the tail of the Dora was a real problem and was caused on the modification of the lenght of about 1 and 1/2 meter.
Remember the Dora got the Jumo 213 powerplant wich was originally built for bomber.

You can avoid this when you loose the brakes and press them again rapidly at low speed.
