4.10 Support & Bug Reporting

[koivis]

I tested all the He 111 variants and found some interesting results:

He 111 H-2, empty, 10% fuel: 2,8/4,2
He 111 H-2, 8xSC250, 100% fuel: 1,9/2,8 (<- is this the ~3G you got?)

He 111 H-6, empty, 10% fuel: 5,1/7,6
He 111 H-6, 1xSC2000, 100% fuel: 3,3/5,0

He 111 H-12, 1xFritz-X, 100% fuel: 3,5/5,2

It seems that H-2 and H-6&12 have totally different G-limits. H-2 is indeed more fragile than the link posted by robtek suggest, but then that data is for H-16. H-6, on the other hand, is amazingly durable. In empty loadout and with low fuel, I managed to get the wings off at over 6G, and even that needed some "softening" first. I'm thinking that both could be wrong, but any plane modelled with too low G-limits is not good for the game.

EDIT: the way to test these is very simple. Turn on the no-cockpit HUD view, dive, pull up slowly. When the G-number display turns red, you are within 25% of the service limit. Service limit = red number / 0,75; break limit = service limit x 1,5.

Maybe it's possible for me to ask a couple of veterans from 322Squadron how they trimmed the various Spitfre types and how the ladies behaved.

Some of the veterans I spoke with a couple of years ago I asked how she flew... they all gave the same answer more or less.. 'she flies as she looks'

*ot* great pictures ivank. Got more?

Hi TD,

got a graphics bug: in the early spitfire MkIXc, with the rounded vertical tail, the last LOD that casts shadows, is missing the shadow for left wing mid(?) section.

Cheers!
