Habu23 Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 (edited) Note to Mods: This is not the same issue discussed in the thread "[REPORTED] wings break off at 4g", although it is likely related from a development standpoint. I was dogfighting in multiplayer and pulling moderate G with the Bf-109 when all of a sudden I felt my wing snap, something that is sadly happening too often. Only, it wasn't exactly a snap. According to Tacview, this incident happened at 523 km/h in a sustained turn of no more than 6.5 G's. Version is 1.2.15.372 (Release). Please see below: In the aftermath of the incident, I had no aileron authority but my rudders and elevators worked. I felt a sharp left roll sensation but I was able to correct for this with right rudder. I eventually dropped the flaps to provide extra lift to correct for this problem. I was even able to land, and I recorded video of me doing it if anyone is interested. Track File Available Here (Incident occurs at 07:25:26 game time / 37:57 into the Track) Tacview File Available Here (Incident occurs at 07:25:26 game time / 37:57 into the Tacview) Editorial Notes: First of all, I have been extremely sensitive to the wing snapping issue discussed elsewhere. It usually occurs at moderate G conditions (5-6-7) AND high AOA conditions, i.e. when the airplane begins to shake. This bug happened during these exact same conditions, although the outcome was significantly different. I sincerely hope that the devs reexamine the wings of the Bf-109 as soon as possible. It is highly likely that this bug and the "wing snap" phenomenon discussed elsewhere are correlated. Habu Edited February 28, 2015 by Habu23 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
