Of all the 'niggling' damge model issues, this one is my greatest irritation :( - Page 9

Ahhhhhhhhhaaaaa Krupi, thats a different part of the wing!! yer yer...and i see damage and bits!!

Seriously though, the DM is one of the strong points of COD, and in this case i think Krupi is 90% right, i never knew that about the bolts on wing.

In a perfect world we would see a little more tearing and bits, but i can agree we would see a cleanish break.

And if the DM could be even more accurate it would only happen from damage to the wing and putting stress on the joints.

Any shooting of the joints "should" show damage around the joint area but maybe we cant have everything.

well done Krupi and good research.

Yeah its more comparable with the outer wing damage.. Would be nice to know what caused the damage.. Looks like a crash landing

So Krupi (I neither agree nor disagree as yet) does the wing spar not pass as one, continuous, metal rod/beam from the inside to outside..? Is it really cut into sections and then bolted? You would think hakwer would have noticed the potential for this to go wrong :s

For the ease of repairing / exchanging parts the wings were divided in parts.
The 109 wing is also fixed on 4 points, but directly at the wing root.
That was possible by attaching the main gear to the fuselage, resulting in a different can of worms.
Only the Spit, afaik, had the undivided main spar at this time.
There might be more planes with this attribute, but then i dont study wings, except through the ReVi.

I know the 190 has a one piece wing as well but not sure if it used an undivided spar?

Thats the damage we want to see along the hurricane edge, if the 109 shows it? why cant the hurri?

anyway, only joshing with ya again Krupi

but there it is mate.

Ahh, Furbs,

in the 109 picture you see damage to the fairing over the wing-root.
There is no fairing to be damaged at the wing-joint of the Hurri!
