There is a glitch with the P-38G/J that will cause both props to break if you adjust RPM's while taxiing out of a hangar. Have not found that glitch present with the L model.

i think that what they do at HTC's office, is to put everyones name in a hat. then once or twice a week, they pull a name out.
 that person then suffers weird stuff intermittently for the next week or so.  :noid

my car broke down this week and then i lost one of my favorite socks which suddenly appeared in the fridge :old:

 Bugs do happen. After the new GV upgrade you would get a ditch on pavement every time if you were not in a hangar. I lost more perk points that way than I have in a year of tanking I emailed HTC about it in Private and they fixed it in just a few days. All is well.

So OP, what was the rant really about - Not getting your name up in lights or the way your flight scored. ;)

Its true if a landing does not count as a landing it is kind of irritating to say the least, but would you rant after a no-kills flight?  :bolt:

The same thing has happened to me twice, I think both times in a P51, maybe once in a P51 and once in a P38.

If as you are clicking on the end sortie button you run your throttle up you will get a ditch rather than the wait till you are stopped or successful landing. This has happened to me three or four times in this latest version. I guess the trick is to leave your throttle completely closed until you are in the tower.

I looked at the film, What happened was you bumped your throttle  at the perfect time while exiting flight.

If you look at the end of the film the last 1/4 sec you will hear your engine start increasing.

This is not a new bug, has been in the system forever, but never know about before your film, the sequence of events goes like this.

When your plane is stopped, it tells the server that you are stopped. And changes your clients exit status from ditched to landed if you are on a runway.

When you exit flight a .ef command goes to the server. It checks what the client told it last. And is says ok your not moving so you can exit, and then the server tells the client to terminate its simulation.  

At some point just after the .ef was sent you bumped your throttle. And changed your state to moving and set your exit status to ditched and told the server you were moving. But the server had already sent the terminate message.

The client then received the terminate and checks what your exit status is (it is ditched).

The Client terminates the sim and tells the server I'v terminated simulation mode with a exit status of ditched.

The server scores the sortie as ditched.

Thanks for the film.

We will fix the race condition for the next patch. But please next bug report please drop the attitude and post it in the correct forum.
