Bomber propellors bug?
« on: November 30, 2007, 03:40:50 PM »
Hi, yesterday I was flying in the offline training, and I had a formation of B-24s from a vehicle field (please don't ask for reasons, the only 1 is laziness)

When i advanced my throttle to takeoff, my 1st bomber spun into the air, lost wings and crashed.  something similar happened with my 2nd bomber (I don't remember if I bailed or not).

Anyway, I wound up in my 3rd bomber, made my bombing run anyway, took a few ack hits (I lost a fuel tank, and oil in engines #2 and #3).

After I landed, and shut off my engines, I noticed that when the engines were spinning down, the propellers of engines #3 and #4 were damaged (bent back).  However when I restarted my engines, those props appeared to be fine.
Whenever I turned my engines on/off, in the times when they were winding up/down, i would see both my #3 and #4 props (spinning), and appearing to be both damaged and normal at the same time.

There was no damage listed for engine #4, and only oil hits from #3.  I was still getting thrust out of all 4 engines.

If necessary, I'll attach an image if someone tells me how
Afk for a year or so.  The name of a gun turret in game.  Falanx, huh? :banana:
Apparently I'm in the 20th FG 'Loco Busters', or so the legend goes.

To attach an image, you need a photo sharing website. You can try http://www.picturehangar.com or http://www.photobucket.com(i use photo bucket. i find it more easier). Then you take the image from the file on your computer and to put it in your photo sharing account. then you can copy the photo from there and paste it in your post:aok

Had this happen to me in the TA awhile ago after I collided with radar tower IIRC.
Skuzzy was sent that film.
Far too many, if not most, people on this Board post just to say something opposed to posting when they have something to say.

I hope I've done this right...  the first scrnshot is of the engines starting, the second is of the engines on, the third of the engines shutting down, and the fourth of the engines off









I hope this helps,
