No sound warning before wing break.

I have lost a wing with the b25 and the c47 without hearing the "metal bending" sound. It should do that before you over-stress, right?

Depends how hard the G force comes on.  If you're at the right speed and just crank back on the stick, it doesn't have time to groan, the wings just separate.

If you think you are having a 1v1 in the Main Arena, your SA has failed you.

Even how fast, it should play before the structure fails, right?

Like I said. Not if it happens fast enough. The sound happens when you are close to failure. If you go from ok to past failure practically instantly the sound doesn't have time to play.

But technically if its programmed to play the sound, it *will* play it sequentially just like every other sound in the game is. There is no reason for it to be ignored.

But the sound doesn't have a duration.  If you go from 1G to 9G practically instantly, you would get a tiny blip that might be too fast to even register, then your wing is off.  It's not like it plays the entire sound like "Warning fields are under attack" when it's triggered, it plays the sound while the G condition is right to set it off, like when the wind kicks in at 300mph.  The wind noise runs as long as you're above 300 then vanishes when you drop below.  I don't see how I can explain it any clearer.

The problem was not hearing that "little blip", its not like I have a hearing aid or anything.
