Title: please fix this stuff
Post by: Citabria on October 15, 2002, 01:43:54 AM
pilot over g bug (plane undamaged pilot destroyed by rapid change in g forces) d3a, fm2, tempest, me262 and most other planes are effected by this bug.

vehicle reload/repair is broken and turret stays damaged when in drivers seat, if you repair in turret position turret works till you switch to drivers position then turret goes poof and stops working.

disapearing vehicles and planes. it is quite common now to see vehicles and planes disapear in front of you all the while you can see their tracers shooting at you while they are invisable.

buff gun position damage is transfered if you move from one buff to another in your formation.

Fester is dead nuts right on all counts. I have lost FM-2s and SBDs by simply pulling 6 g momentarily. Poof, you're in the tower. I have it on film too. Grumman's Wildcat was engineered to survive sustained G loading up to and exceeding 12.5 G. Likewise, the designed failure load for the SBD is 10.5 G. There does not exist a single known case where the wings were pulled off a Wildcat, nor is there any record of one simply coming apart under even severe sustained G loading, much less moderate, momentary dynamic loading. Engine A frames would bend, skin would wrinkle, but catastrophic failures were unheard of.

Also, I found it common for aircraft to simply disappear for 5-10 seconds, then reappear as if nothing has happened. These pilots knew nothing about it, but it was witnessed each time by several players. It's not a cheat, it's a bug.

A squadie reported this Buff damage bug to us Saturday.

My regards,

Widewing

 :p

can't say as to experiencing the g-load issue, but it seems something to be looked into.

as for the disappearing planes... sounds like either a vid card or connection issue as i haven't been seeing anything other than an increase in microwarps after the move to the new server.

The buff gun bug finally dawned on me yesterday (I've already had my BuffWhine quota for the week, though).  Main lanc tail turret gets knocked out, and all three suddently don't have a tail turret.

I've also run into the FM2 bug once, now that it's mentioned.  I figured I just pulled up too hard and didn't give it much thought.  I rarely yank aircraft around that hard.

Good catch on all counts.

Hmm,
The other day in a TOD, I was flying a P-40E, going about 400mph in a shallow dive.  I made a turn, right on the edge of blacking out, and "crashed" into what I assume was a solid patch of air.

Was that the G-bug mentioned here?

Just to add a note to this one:

Resupplying from a turret/gun position does bring all systems back to normal, then jumping to the driver's seat to start moving again turns the turret and pintle gun in the panzer red again.  You can move, the turret smokes like it's disabled, and the pintle gun won't fire.  But the main gun will still fire.  Found this at A59 on the baltic map, defending against the nit hordes

You can add me to the G bug, and the invisable plane list.  Wouldnt know about the other.
