All of a sudden, I can't fly the F6F w/o popping both ailerons. If I nose it down, reach about 425 and then gradually (not jerk) pull back on the stick to full elevator extension, I lose both wings.

I suspected a j/s calibration problem, so I recalibrated and tried the same maneuver with a pony and jug, no problem. But, when I tried it with a F6F (after the recalibration), yep, still lost both wings.

I don't fly a F6F often, so I don't know when this started. I did have a tour or two when I flew the F6F a lot, so I know it wasn't happening then.

Remember how you used to be able to pop the wings on the pony by pulling on the stick? It's exactly like that.

Anyone else have this problem?

Curly, it sounds like the infamous "G" bug. I've lost about 6 aircraft to this 1.10 patch related bug this tour.

My regards,

No, the "G bug" kills the pilot which HT calls "pilot unit overstress".

I dunno what to tell ya Curly I haven't had that problem in the F6F-5 yet.

I've had the same problem in my Hellcat rides as well the past couple of tours. It's avoidable, but still annoying to have to worry about ripping your plane apart in a gradual dive recovery, especially with the F6, which is a very durable bird.
