Hi everyone, I just encountered the weirdest.. well it must be a bug!

I was flying a JU88 on the standard free flight/endurance flight to france quick mission (normally starting with a blenheim) and learning the ins and outs of the CEM, trimming and my control scheme, as usual.

Generally the flight was very pleasant and uneventful, climbed it up to 5km through the flight, generally at speeds of 250km/h - took me an hour and a half to reach the final destination in that mission.

Once I reached the final airport I began a descent/speed run in a shallow dive and reached speeds of 370-400km/h, when I noticed that the blue flames on the exhausts of both my engines had turned into larger yellow flames/small fireballs and the engines gave hints in moments of roughness that something was about to go wrong. This in itself was strange given I'd carefully monitored temps throughout the flight, but could do with the large amount of throttle I gave it to get to 5km+ altitude. Still, it was strange that both engines were failing simultaneously.

What was VERY strange, however, was that after beginning a quick smart descent to the airport and watching the engine issue grow worse (including governor, exhaust and some other failure), at approximately 2km from the airport and 1km altitude - with me watching the ground the WHOLE time - my plane simultaneously 'warped' and exploded, having hit the ground!

I was very taken aback by this, given that only a moment ago I was at 1km+!

Anyone have any idea what went wrong? It was a very unsatisfying end to the flight.
