P38 damage
« on: August 13, 2010, 08:48:44 AM »
Quote from: Soulyss on July 12, 2010, 02:11:40 PM
There is only one elevator, but when the damage model to the horizontal stabilizers were changed to allow one or the other to be hit it also became possible for the 38 to lose one or "half" of it's elevator/horizontal stab.  Since my 38 is getting shot all the time I'll see if I can grab a picture next time it happens.


I'd like an elevator 1 and an elevator 2 in the damage list if this is a know abnormality. So far as I know, this is a unique problem to the P38, similar to the 110 damage flaw before.

Are you on crack?   The 38 doesn't have two elevators!   Next time, at least research your whine!

Take it easy Masherbrum. There appears to be a bug in the damage model on the P-38 elevator. Soulyss posted in the bug reports forum that he thinks it's tied to the horizontal stabs, so if you lose 1 side you lose 1/2 of the elevator.

I think all the PW come from the big heads us B-38 pile-its have, it sticks out around the sides of the pilot armor. :D

that is something I have not noticed at all.  Honestly, what SERaider is describing isn't a bug at all.

I don't often fly the 38 but I have noticed it once...thought it was just a fluke. Dunno, can't say for sure...  :headscratch:

I don't know if it a bug or not, but you can now lose half the horizontal stab just like in other planes.  It's a little strange looking back and see half of the beam between the tails missing and the other half not attached in the middle.  Looks like the whole thing would just come off in a slight breeze.  :)

before you think me to be on crack, I suggest you notice who I quoted and why I made the request, which included all the information you think I'm a fool to not notice. I had also reported this as a bug (the half elevator). So here, let me quote someone else who apparently doesn't do any research before they make a fool of themselves.

Like I said, I really don't think it's a bug.  I think it's a byproduct of the new damage model in that before it was all or nothing and now we have some varying degrees of damage.  Now the elevators can be damaged whereas in the past it would have been completely destroyed, so it's basically treated as two seperate objects for the damage model.  Before the change to the damage list, when we received the updated damage model it did list elevators twice to account how they are now treated as two seperate objects but still considered a single elevator.  I hope this made sense.

I made a fool out of myself?   If you're REPORTING A BUG, why isn't this thread in the BUG FORUM and if you did.   What in the hell does your thread have to do with a WISHLIST?
