Title: Fragile Aircraft
Post by: Wurger on November 02, 2004, 10:54:05 AM
Since the new release, I have noticed a tendancy for my Dora to lose its right wing pretty easily.  At first I thought someone I didn't see shot me, but then it happened a few more times when no one was in position to do so.

Whats the deal??

Thanks!

I'm guessing we're seeing the "new" structural" limitations that pyro said werent enabled. Might also explain the Ki-84 shedding parts...havent noticed it in other planes but been flying Ki-84 mostly.

quit pulling 9 g's at 400+ mph you'll be ok  :D

I believe Pyro implied that the "structural limitation" code had been essentially disabled in recent versions and was fixed in the current release.

Doesnt seem very "fixed" to me, I would expect to at least start seeing the blackout start before I start ripping off parts.  And only one of the missing wings occured pulling out of a dive...

have not witnessed this yet.......
I put the B24 in a dive and turned on CT, when it reached 350 the nose started coming up, even though I kept the stick pushed all the way forward. once it slowed to 300 the nose started to drop again

the Ki84 I got to 400+ ( bleeds speed quiet well) and did not have any damage turning under moderate G load ( 4+) holding the tunnel of bout 3" dia (combat trim off plane trimmed for 295 speed level flight)

I guess if you yank and bank and jerk and stir you gonna rip parts off, if you fly smoothly fast, you still can pull moderately high G's

just my opinion

Is the Dora suffering failue at loads less than its rated G-force allowance?

Its not just the Dora and the other planes mentioned above. The 262 now has wings that seem to be held on with scotch tape. The B24 being the tough bomber it was, well...

Simply put, most of the planes now feel like they got scotch tape holding their wings in place.

It was pretty tough... from combat damage.  But, with the thin wing design, they would easily rip off if you pulled higher Gs.

I to have noticed the riping of the wings on the Dora & A-5.

Yeah, I rip parts off with combat damage.  I have to do something incredibly stupid to do it before that though.

Yeah, be careful flying straight and level, you may still lose parts if you snap your head views to quickly...

Pyro is aware of the problem.  Read this.
