Destruction of airframe due to high Gs or even speed

[IASGATG]

The fun thing is you don't need to press the S button to break the wings.

 

Mastering the DCS Flanker FM has got to be one of the toughest FM challenges in simming. From low speed negative Gs putting you on your back as you plummet to your death, high speed defensive breaks snapping your wings off, auto pilot nut case the burden grows and with it still in beta there is plenty room for more, bring it on I say much more enjoyable than the humdrum F-15 FM. :D

 

That superior American technology though. ;)

The irony of automation, give me a manual prop pitch over an auto any day.;)

I don't think ED will add the "instant disintegration" feature to the F-15C unless they completely ignore real world stuff like this: http://www.businessinsider.com/israeli-air-force-pilot-land-an-f-15-with-only-one-wing-2016-4

Yes, I have tested this and on some occasions, this is in fact the case... if you are going really fast and go full aft stick and pull that 10.5gs there about, it will probably last for a few moments if not shearing off one wing completely.

This was actually quite old and is very well know. The thing i don't understand about ED's implementation of the hydraulics damage model currently is that in this f15, the whole wing is gone and yet the other side of the hydraulics remained functional like it should and it saved the pilot's life. However, in DCS< you get hydraulic damage and that's it. You'll last a few seconds in the air before all of the hydraulics from both systems bleed out and you find yourself plummeting to the ground.

Perhaps an improved hydraulics system damage model will make it's way into the F-15C as it's flight model is gradually improved?

Thats definitely what i'm hoping for. Actually for a while before the hydraulics update (do not know when that exact update was) the hydraulics system on the 15 functioned quite well, it was very rugged like it should be in real life. But after that update, you lose part of a wing, you lose ALL hydraulics. you get some sort of hydraulic damage from gunfire, missile, you lose ALL.
