Damaged & still flyable aircraft disappears from F10 map

[skywalker22]

Was doing some tests, and by coinsidence discovered that symbology of my aircraft has disappeared from F10 map after being hit (by bullets). I was damaged, but still able to fly and do normal things. Damage model could be better for sure with different issues with the plane, but appart from that, if plane is still in a condition to fly, it should not disappear from F10 map.

It is an ancient thing in DCS World that affects all aircraft. Once you took enough damage, the game writes you off as "dead" regardless if you can still fly or not.

@skywalker22 Your file is not available anymore. What aircraft was it?

Thanks. The problem also exists in SP. A few fixes were made in 2023 but some aircraft keep declaring they are "dead" although they are not. The remaining affected modules are AJS37, F-16C, Su-27 and Ka-50 modules. I'll test again then bump the internal report.

If you notice this issue with any other module, please tell me.

The issue also exists on the F-15E and is easily reproducible there as you can just go into a steep dive to overspeed the wings to rip one of them off at which point the aircraft gets declared "dead" and disappears from the F10 map even though the aircraft is still flyable. I attached a very short track depicting this issue.

Thanks, I added the F-15E to the list.
