It's been that way for years.  If you fly under a railway bridge, you blow up, yet you can drive a GV under it.  Also, if you take a PT boat under a river bridge, it kills your engine.

This is clearly a bug and should be moved to the appropriate forum. Lots of other flight simulators allow you to fly under bridges and it is clearly an important part of flying folklore (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xf3UtmHLKUU)  :old:

Midway, Debrody and I were winding you up, it isn't possible to fly under a bridge no matter how good a stick you are. I also tried MachFly's experiment long ago and can confirm it's true, it's just that the thought of channel 200 being quite for several hours while you tried it would be good for the community and character building for you  :lol

Damn you Shida...
I was really waiting for a film when someone is in proxy range while Midway keeps upping spits only to try for that bridge.

Akak: any film about that bish?

there definitely is enough room to fly under. I have flown my p38 through the bridge at 85/88 spawn to entertain the spawn campers and have cleared the bridge only to explode in mid air as I climbed out. Everyone on the ground agreed I clearly made it through. I do wish they would fix the bug.

You can't fly under bridges... you can however land an airplane inside the side of a carrier (check out the port side under the middle of the flight deck...)

I posted film of it to the boards. :)

There is plenty of room, I checked, it's just that the game decides you must die.

Actually it's a very bad move even if you survive. The guy behind you does not have to fly though the hangar, just go over it.

But if you bat-turn and come out the end you went in you'll lose him.
