B25Mitch Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 I've seen plenty of Youtube videos (like this one: ) from previous patches where tires burst during a hard landing. I've only had the sim since patch 1.1.1.1, but I've never had this happen to me, even when I deliberately slam the plane down into the runway, bending the gear up. It appears this feature has been broken. Another issue: When performing an emergency gear-up landing in a flat field, the tires snag on the terrain, usually causing the aircraft to spontaneously explode. See the first attached track for an example (all 3 tracks are less than a minute - watch them!). If, however, the tires have been punctured, like in the second track, there is no explosion bug and everything goes smoothly. So if you're looking to belly land your A-10 in a flat field somewhere, and your tires happen to be still intact, you should opt for an upside-down landing (third track) - at least you'll save the plane!:lol: The solution is both simple and realistic: implement a trigger which bursts the tires when they come in contact with non-runway terrain at speeds greater than 100km/h.WheelsExplode.trkNoWheelsLanding.trkUpsideDownLanding.trk
