You can get all the practice you want without this feature. simply, don't use aileron. You can use rudder to bank left to right. One time in the landing pattern, my instructor had me fly the entire pattern with throttle and rudder only. The same can be simulated here.

B4 for some cases you can just not use that... But you always run the risk of cross-inputting controls (hard to ONLY use elevator, not aileron) and some cases you cannot do this, like missing a wingtip.


Most bombers will not fly missing a wingtip. I'm not sure if it's right because when lightly loaded or after bombs drop you would think it has enough lift to spare. The only one I did was a B-25H where a wirble got my wingtip. I was oriented such and had just enough speed that I could nose up, full rudder, level just enough to pop flaps and gear and land right there. It was a rare moment as I've never been able to repeat it. I taxied in to land safely.

I've tried to stay on an even keel with half a wing in many different planes. The only one that I came even CLOSE to landing was the C-47.

As for the second thing, you could just shut down the two right engines-- I have done this on multiple occasions.

PS. A B-29 with 20x500lbs and 25% will not fly on two engines.

I believe the OP wants the ability to be able to enable structural damage as well, in order to see how that particular
plane will behave.  I just used engines out as an example.

You're very right about the wingtips. That can't be simulated without actually losing a part of the wing. I was referring specifically to the ailerons. I'm definitely not against this wish. Olds should just know that with a bit of discipline, you can simulate some of these situations.
