Huricane

Well, you can quite safely land a 109, with one wing off at the radiator, so less than 1,5 wing area left. And you have nice roll rate to the one direction, but I wouldn´t try to tangle with a hurricane in the configuration.

But 109s do compete nicely with the Duxford-on-Wing landing shortly.

I thought the Hurricane fix was for when the engine fell off?

AH i see

so back in feb 2010 it was a problem and they must have fixed it in a patch thanks

I bought ROF back in 09 but didnt have a computer good enough to play it until i bought this rig for CLOD

lol i guess i have CLOD to thank for showing me how great ROF was (in its current form or coarse)

cheers

I'm not sure they have fixed it Bryan! On the other hand, if I lose a wing in RoF,the only way I go is down

RoF has several problems with the FM/DM coverage as well. It is up to the developers on how much parts they will split the model. The flight model has often many more "parts/boxes" than the visual model. This is why we experience such problems. But sometimes it is just a compromise in overall game performance.

same here

Of all the times i have taken some battle damage in the strut or any part of the wing really it is only a matter of time before wind and G force tear it the rest of the way off

I can only think of maybe a few times where i saved it long enough to get to the ground and survive

OH and that reminds me i did have one really good one I was proud of where i was in a Niueport 17 and got clipped by another plane during a fur ball, the hit was a glancing blow that bent my fuselage behind the pilot in such a way that the plane was very unstable. I was over the front and managed to dive out of danger, worried the whole time that at any moment it would crack in half but then leveled out and managed to gently coax her all the way back to the field low and slow the whole way

I ground looped it on landing but i walked away

any way the point was it felt like a reasonable response to the damage and except for the initial dive out of the fray (which had me worried for sure) i was as gentle as a kitten with her to keep the damage from getting worse felt very accurate to me based on what i could see visually damage wise

Any way i digress

I think it is fixed as i have not seen what is in the no wing flight vid duplicated but i will keep my eye out
