CrossWiseRanger Posted July 10, 2021 Posted July 10, 2021 Below shows a Fw 190 missing right aileron, damaged left aileron, rudder significantly damaged, bullet holes thru the cockpit and canopy side-to-side of pilot, and engine smoking. It's also flying perfectly straight and level. It would not be a rare event to find such an aircraft suddenly on your tail and shoot you down. Even had them with the one gear hanging down do this. In such condition you would expect them to be out of the fight because of control issues if nothing else. These will also continue flying straight until engine quits and crash lands - but never showing as a kill. I don't know how many bullets of what type did this amount of damage - as Hits are not detailed in the debrief as with Modern. How many people would want to keep flying the Modern AC if your missile could take off a wing but it could still fly and take you out? When do the Warbirds get some love - and realism? DCS is an outstanding flight sim. However, it is also a battle sim. Loosing interest fighting zombies. What's the point! VR with Oculus Rift preferred flying method.

What specifically does the track need to show? Asking because I thought that a track did not correctly model what occurs with other aircraft. I took the above screenshot photo when flew along side during mission. VR with Oculus Rift preferred flying method.
Flappie Posted July 24, 2021 Posted July 24, 2021 (edited) Tracks can be reliable when: they are not too old (DCS gets frequent changes, and tracks don't like this) they contains only a few units you don't expect too much from them The zombie WWII aircraft issue has been talked about quite a few times in this forum but I believe we didn't have a track showing this issue yet. Me and some other testers have tried to reproduce this from scratch, to no avail. Edited July 24, 2021 by Flappie 1 On holiday

That was an interesting experience in working with trks!!! The original file exceeded download limit. So I watched and found out could shorten by stopping the replay. Unfortunately, what you see in replay is not what appears upon running replay track. Kept ME 109 in center of picture but replay has to one side. Probably has something to do with flying in VR. Anyway. This shows Me 109 Hanz being shot up - loosing right aileron and part of right elevator. Then making perfect swooping rolls and shooting down my wingman with a short burst [300 yds 1* angle off]. That is some piloting skill. Must have been Erich Hartman. Describe what you would like to see. Maybe I can get it since I seem to see this frequently. Me 109 Hanz Right Aileron Bloke Kill.trk 1 VR with Oculus Rift preferred flying method.

Me and some other testers have tried to reproduce this from scratch, to no avail. Flappie -- besides the one above, here are two more. I'm flying as Yank, wingman Bloke, in P-51's against Jacob and Hanz (Rookies) in Bf 109's. Both missions have zombie Jacob shootdown Bloke. Mission 1: "Hanz Yes Jacob What" Jacob is missing left aileron and right elevator. Bloke kill occurs at the 4:57 mark from 1547 ft at 5.8* angle off. Flaming my wingman File Link: Mission 1 Hanz Yes Jacob What Kill.trk An additional and frequent problem, as shown in debriefing below. Though I killed both Bf 109's, only got credit for one. Plus whatever that crazy info at end. Mission 2: "Hanz and Jacob Kill" Jacob is missing both ailerons. Bloke kill occurs at the 6:46 mark from 1076 ft at 2.6* angle off. Rolling onto Bloke File Link: Mission 2 Hanz and Jacob Kill.trk VR with Oculus Rift preferred flying method.
