=475FG= Dawger Posted December 20, 2022 Author Share Posted December 20, 2022 With the F-5 glass wing structure in place for over a year now, I have to assume this is a permanent feature. One can only hope all other modules will get the same upgrade. My group has pretty much given up on DCS, primarily because of this and similar issues. Oh well. Life goes on. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fresh Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Hello everyone, please try with wake turbulence off.. I noticed hitting my own wake or that of the bandit I am chasing caused me to break up.. in an F-18.. I am not saying it will fix the problem, but at least one variable can me removed from the equation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClydeBigBird Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 Just had the wings break at 7.7g in a sustained turn with a very gradual rate of increasing g. This is pretty silly behavior for a simulator. First, airplanes are engineered with a safety factor. And secondly, in real life there's no way you hit some magic stress number that causes the wings to instantly shear off an airplane, especially at a load that's only ~6% higher than the stated stress limit. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a thing in DCS; over G once and you may get away with it but you WILL have lowered the structural g failure point. Ergo, so the next g excursion you make could well result in a failure well below the rated g limit + safety factor.
