Don't get me wrong, I love this sim more and more. :pilotfly:
Here we go, just me there, in my first mission of the day (not multiplayer) in a nice winter morning in Republic of North Ossetia, west of Mozdok.
After neutralizing the air defences of a medium sized convoy (14 ~ soft + armored targets) i go in a dive with rockets and guns.
I shoot 6 rockets in a dive with no more than 10 degrees of bank and maybe 20 degrees of vectorial descent. 1 second later (8:49: 2 8 pull nose up 3 degrees, small GAU8 strafe on a BTR-80 (~ 2500 - 3000 ft, ~ 290-320 knots). Changed target to another BTR-80, a little more than 1 second long trigger pull (altitude ~1300ft?, can't tell much from this point. Speed increasing, throtle 80%~).
While no visible splash yet from the second strafe I pull the trigger close to a third target, not the ideal by the altitude left as it was pretty low, but it is for fun after all. As soon as start shooting on the third target i see 2-4 flashes on the side of the second BTR-80 (longest shooting), right at this moment my screen blacks out, I freeze thinking the game crashed, betty came with her third pull up message (should've heard the girl), I know I'm screwed, without seeing nothing i pull the stick without much effort mesmerized of what happend.
Couple of seconds latter my pilot's vision starts to come back with the tunel vision effect. Too late. 1 second to crash. :joystick:
Stick pulled, belly first. Explosion.

Saddly this was one of those you, mistakenly, don't hit the save track button. :doh:

-Generic airport high fidelity textures (taxiways and runways) I don't really have the mod name in hand right now.
-And that's it.
I don't really know if I should put this on the Bugs session as I might guess it was a 30mm rebound but I can't really tell if it's possible either IRL or modeled in the sim. Sorry for this possible incovenience, I just thought it would be worth posting either for bug fixing, simulation features awareness, and the most, WHAT THE EF HAPPENED ?
Good Flying :)
