AI flight model ignores damage to engines


Recommended Posts

Hello,

It appears that the AI flight models do not account for damage to engines (and possibly control surfaces).

This was discovered when I did an instant action BFM mission, and the aircraft I was fighting did not lose any performance after severely damaging its left engine.

I have attached three tracks showing me damaging all but one engine of several different AI aircraft.  (A-10C, Mig-29S, Il-76M).  The result is that DCS reports through the info bar that all engines are still running, even though visible damage is shown.  The AI appear to suffer no adverse effects to the flight model, though they do change their navigation behavior once damaged.

The IL-76 track I have included is the most obvious offender, and is the only one of the three tracks that follows through until landing.

Thanks
