reported Damaged AI Warbirds fly in a perpetual circle

[Dauntless 7]

Any damaged AI warbird, when considered "killed", will go into a left or right level turn at roughly 400 knots and will stay that way indefinitely, even when their engines are no longer operational.

Yup, I have noticed the same in a mission with Ju-88's.

[Rhayvn]

Same, with multiple aircraft types.  Current mission has at least 3 red and 4 blue aircraft doing those circles.

B17s and A 20s break formation and fly all over the place , was in 4YA PO server.

A20 shot the tail, came off and kept flying

I've been playing the furball instant action mission in the F4U / marianas ww2 map. Several of the zeros (Fake Fw-190) ended up in this state. I was chasing one for ages before i realised. 

I have attached a track file that show that at the end of the fight, 3 of 12 enemy planes were circling in this state.

yep - saw this behavior last night in a MP mission I hosted. JU-88s, Bf-109s, and Fw-190-A8s all exhibited this behavior once they were severely damaged.

 

edit - I tried adding my track file but it was too large (73 MB), any suggestions beyond running the mission for a shorter time period?

attempt to add track file, add dsc.log

They dont only fly in circles with no engine and in flames, they also fly at ridiculous speeds like 380 mph burning. 

[peachpossum]

here is a track file & dcs.log that demonstrates the problem.

I shot down 3 JU-88s, and the kill buffer awarded me the kills. Yet the three JU-88s went into a perpetual flat turn.

This was a locally hosted MP mission.

Also demonstrated in this mission;

AI aircraft do not obey Advanced (waypoint actions);

-No Report Waypoint Pass = off  (AI-Corsairs)
-ROE: Weapons Hold (EZ-fiters-1)

I encountered the same AI bug.

The solution is to do a "Kamikaze".

I believe the problem can be reproduced with the track file attached.

I too have seen this with 190s in the Beware, Beware campaign.

[AWa1961]

C-47 is a zombie plane too.

Very disappointing its not a priority to fix this issue

[ErwinRath]

I am astonished to see that this major issue was not fixed in the following update. From my perspective a roll-back should be possible and adequate.

Is even more track replays needed or what? 
Here is a bunch of the most resent ones. Everyone got this issue.

Sorry all, we missed this thread, but it has already been reported and hopefully a fix soon
