The other day, after shooting down all of the foes on an offline mission of course..., I decided to flight test the 109, again... as I keep doing, more often than combat flying :-)

 

I set full flaps, at around 15,000', and then gained speed by diving, pushing the stick all the way ahead...

 

As I tried to operate the flaps, which meanwhile retracted a good deal, I noticed the wheel was completely blocked. There was a considerable rolling moment to the right, while at the same time the ball was well deflected to the right, asking for more right rudder than it would normally be required to "coordinate the induced right bank into turn"...

 

F2 for outside view revealed the left radiator flap fully opened, while the right one was almost fully closed. Naturally it acted asymmetrically causing the right rolling moment as well a left yaw due to the additional drag from the left wing :-)

 

I love this details :thumbup:

Yeah, that's the "no detailed" damage model :thumbup:. Of course I would like to see more "gore effects", but that battle damage you can't even figure out are the awesome stuff.

 

S!

At some point I noted that they made a new damage to the wing tip.

You can now get some sort of "flak hole" where you can see through the wing.

You can try to open the canopy (at the speed you are able to do it) and watch the reaction.

Scripted system failures work pretty well, it's the reaction to bullets (especially for AI planes) that needs work. But yeah, the radiator thing is a nice touch. Never encountered it myself but I'll trust that it's there.
