shaHeen-1 Posted December 19, 2019 Posted December 19, 2019 Should this have been added when as far as I know no other module simulates this and it just nerfs the jeff's dogfighting/dodging/rejoin. Don't get me wrong, I would love this if it came to all modules and there was an interface which showed how badly you damaged the airframe so you can learn to fly better.

shaHeen-1 Posted December 19, 2019 Author Posted December 19, 2019 Oh OK. Then nvm. Still anyway to see how you damaged your plane? Can this be extended to landing gear?

You can check damage to FCS and control surfaces in the FCS page. For landing gears, you'll get constant voice warnings when over-speed, and indication lights on the LG panel when not fully retracted. EFM / FCS developer, Deka Ironwork Simulations.
shaHeen-1 Posted December 19, 2019 Author Posted December 19, 2019 I guess structural damage and UI tools are the domain of ED. What I had in mind was like a damage heat map painted over the 3d model of the plane.

shaHeen-1 Posted December 19, 2019 Author Posted December 19, 2019 What game has damage modeling like dcs?

Do you have the option to teleport into the air beside your plane to look at it (F2) in the real planes? Still the option of exterior views is in, as many people enjoy the nice views... ;) Shagrat - Flying Sims since 1984 - Win 10 | i5 10600K@4.1GHz | 64GB | GeForce RTX 3090 - Asus VG34VQL1B | TrackIR5 | Simshaker & Jetseat | VPForce Rhino Base & VIRPIL T50 CM2 Stick on 200mm curved extension | VIRPIL T50 CM2 Throttle | VPC Rotor TCS Plus/Apache64 Grip | MFG Crosswind Rudder Pedals | WW Top Gun MIP | a hand made AHCP | 2x Elgato StreamDeck (Buttons galore)

I got the impression he wanted a damage display while flying.
shaHeen-1 Posted December 19, 2019 Author Posted December 19, 2019 If you're satisfied with eyeballing it then that's up to you. I find the visual damage to be inconsistent and unclear. Sometimes you can ram your plane onto the runway and have it bounce up, tail strike and also deploy your wheel brake too early and there is no noticeable change to your plane. On the other hand sometimes the plane flies just fine with both wings off. Other times there's one wing left but there is no overwhelming roll effect. But in this case I'm more interested in some harder to spot things anyways. Such as how much stress was the airframe put in especially the Jeff with its accumulation after high g maneuvers and over speeding and how much is repaired. And the engine. No clue what it went through during the flight. How much is it in need of maintenance now. Did my bad startup/shutdown/airstart procedure cause it any harm? For example I mess up the mi8 procedures all the time. Would be nice to see some digits/curves/mappings in this regard.
