JetlinerX Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 (edited) Now that the community has told me how to properly handle and engine fire, DCS is going to give me some random practice!

NhiTrac Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 (edited) Bird strike. Some say the damage is over exaggerated in this game so have turned it down to 0%. Apparently bird strikes shouldn't be catostrophic like that... I'd argue that if they're going to implement bird strikes, they should at least model the little buggers including feathers bloods and guts :D Edited May 23, 2013 by NhiTrac Intel i5 4670 | GTX 970 | 8 gb Ram | Windows 10 Thrustmaster Warthog | Saitek Rudders | Logitech G27 | Astro A40
JetlinerX Posted May 23, 2013 Author Posted May 23, 2013 Ohhhh! Interesting! Yeah, I would have like to have seen it at least. Even if it just despawned when it hits the fan, it would be nice to actually see, and possibly avoid a flock of Russian Geese! ;) I say it's perfectly modeled... after all: Looks realistic to me! :D Take a look at our in-depth DCS A10C tutorials If you want to participate in these tutorial sessions, please send me a PM and I can get you setup! :) TUTORIALS TO RETURN "VERY SOON"

Im no expert but you can find many bird strike vid on youtube and several of them result in a plane crash.

Nealius Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 Wasn't there a post somewhere around here where a large bird got sucked into an A-10 engine and the pilot didn't even know it until after he landed and shut down the engines?

Nealius Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=1754405&postcount=6 Just stumbled upon it while searching for something else.
JetlinerX Posted May 23, 2013 Author Posted May 23, 2013 I think it's fair to have a bird cripple an engine, they often do. And most two engine craft can make it back to ground with one engine, so it's not like it's an instant "I have to ditch" situation. Personally, if this was really a bird strike, I think it was perfect in terms of how it damaged the aircraft.

Eight Ball Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 Well if paulkriii says so....I stand corrected :P Find The Links To All My Mods And Liveries Here (in the gallery)
cichlidfan Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 Well if paulkriii says so....I stand corrected :P You said 'can be' which is certainly true. The problems is that in the DCS model it is 'always', and that should not be the case. They need to randomize whether you caught a sparrow or a pelican. ;) ASUS ROG Maximus VIII Hero, i7-6700K, Noctua NH-D14 Cooler, Crucial 32GB DDR4 2133, Samsung 950 Pro NVMe 256GB, Samsung EVO 250GB & 500GB SSD, 2TB Caviar Black, Zotac GTX 1080 AMP!
