Title: Altered Flight Models in 1.08
Post by: coop2 on October 27, 2001, 05:36:00 PM
Ok is it just me or has HT added a few more things in 1.08 and the patches than he has told us?  Today I was cruising around in my p-51 and I see a low spit. I dive in from about 3k above him and as I track him in my sights (not even blacking out) and my freaking wing rips off!!!

  Now I have been flying the stang for quite a while now and I would like to think i know its performance and capabilities, but in the last couple days I have ripped its wings off about 6-8 times. It took me a whole tour to do that with a 1.07 p-51.

  Anyways this isnt a whine or anything I was just curious if any of you guys noticed that same thing?

I haven't noticed a problem with ripping the wings off.  Of course, I rarely do that anyway, 'cause I'm not a hamfisted dweeb!  :p

i think that might be a pony bug...i've done it just flying flat and level. no NME's in sight and "WHAM!" my wings are gone. i've also had a problem where i was flying and then out of no where i was in the tower...no kill was awarded to anyone...just a "you have been killed"

ROFL curly  :D

Have you tried recalibrated your joystick?  Coop?  sometimes the fm seems a little off after major updates until I do that then everthing seems fine, I don't know if it actually helps or not it might all be pyschosomatic/in my head /mumbo jumbo nonsense but it wouldn't hurt to try.  :D

Let me start by thanking you guys for turning this VERY serious topic into a self fulfillmet one.....hehe  ;)

ANYWAYS---Yeah now that I think about it I rip my wings off probally less then once a tour(in a p51), Several times in BUFFS when I get stuck in dives or 262s I like breaking those wings too  :) I think I got confused b/c i usually am going down without any wings/tail. Who knows Im wierd like that.

Curly as for the wrong stick. I got one word for ya- ambidextrous   :D   :D   :D

Pony seems different...climbout?

I have learned to just adapt..still kills the enemy so thats a good thing :)

Wings rippin off just doesn't happen...at least since HT fixed it a long while back.

I have the wings O paper happen to me every time I fly the P-51D and not one time with the P-51B. There is a bug. There is no difference in the wing of a D or B. Let's get it fixed please.

The P51-D ripping wings syndrome is new for 108.  

I don't remember the last time I ripped my wings off in the 51 up till just the other day.  This I accomplished during a high speed break, to bleed E, prior to landing.

Happened unexpectedly as hell!

oops.....  :eek:

Definitely something fishy going on...

I have lost the wings several times this tour, none at all last tour.

Recently I have lost wings at least twice AFTER a high speed dive, gentle pull out, start to climb away and then crack!  Bye, bye wings.  No stress noise, no pings, just wings gone...

I have been having the same problem in the D9 and A5.  I've had it happen in level flight;no sound at all, just wing gone and on fire.

I too was quite surprised at how easy the wings came off.

I dove in, backed the throttle off, and at 430 mph, I eased back on the stick to blast the hell out of the guy I was attacking...Boom!!! The wings came off and I darted!
What the hell, I had done that at least a hundred times at 450 with NO Problem.

I wonder if lag has anything to do with it.
