pachuco70 Posted May 2, 2023 Posted May 2, 2023 Reflected, I think they might have updated the B-17 damage model. Whatever you trigger to cause damage to the B-17 is blowing the B-17 apart in mid air. Because of this it crashes and never attempts the emergency landing. This has happened the last 2 times I have played. The last time I was able to F2 view the B-17 as it happened and was able to witness it. I have played this mission many times and never saw this until recently. Having that B-17 come in for a crash landing has always been a highlight for me of this campaign. I see how frustrating it can be to spend hours on design and testing, only to have the mission wrecked by a little "harmless tweak" that ED does to AI, damage, or flight models!

pachuco70 Posted May 2, 2023 Author Posted May 2, 2023 I use the term "landed" in the loosest possible way...LOL. It used to circle the airfield and then attempt a landing near your parking spot on the east side of the runway only to go long and explode on the other side of the fence/tree line...but the last couple of times it just explodes in mid-air just after spawning in. The last time I saw this I was able to F2 to see it as it spawned in, and saw it explode. I am assuming you have something triggered to cause damage to it? I could be wrong...but I definitely heard an explosion before the plane blew up.
