FCS and Aircraft Damage

[SonofEil]

Was flying a little single player mission, testing weapons and generally having fun. Took a MANPAD hit in the rear but everything seemed ok. Started maneuvering and noticed I was a bit wobbly.

When I checked the FCS page all channels were fine and all control surfaces responded with the expected deflections.

I dropped some more ordinance and headed back to the carrier. The fun really started when I put the plane in landing configuration. Hoo-boy was that a ride. Heavy rudder work and some differential thrust got me back on deck. After landing I saw that I was missing my right stab and right rudder. The stump of the right stab was nonresponsive to control inputs while the right rudder was completely gone.

 

 

1. I'll assume that the lack of damage indications on the FCS page is a WIP issue, but this post is just in case it isn't.

 

2. If anyone feels like buying me a beer for that landing, I'll allow it. Track provided as evidence (and for the devs of course).

missing rudder

 

have we had confirmation about this? i also had an entire vertical fin blown off but FCS page indicated a working rudder.

 

just want to make sure that DCS is aware.

 

thanks
