Autopilot & autothrottle keep aircraft flying straight and level after being blown up

[VFA41_Lion]

Track file attached. Magic starts around the 8:09:40 mark. Autothrottle set to 400 knots, heading select, and b-alt hold selected.

 

After about ten or so minutes, the fire goes out and the aircraft is still flying on autopilot with a dead human pilot inside and worse battle damage than an A-10C....

 

debriefing log says only the radar altimeter and human pilot died, so MAAAAAAAAYBE only really unlucky shrapnel piece punctured cockpit, in which case the exterior battle damage model needs to be fixed lol

She also flies quite nicely without wingtips/ailerons or wingtips folded at the moment... Took off and did a pattern and landed safely in both configurations.
