If I need planes which can basicaly fly with one wing I can find:


Examples are enough however, the wing loading of the Bf109 and the small size of the remaining aileron (which will have to do the compensation) would make the feat impossible, my logic says. Not been a aeronautical engineer I can not say more.


Of course, the guys at 1C maybe know so much more than we do... but I keep to myself the benefit of doubt

That picture of the F-15 supposedly flown and landed with one wing gone is an urban legend. Just like the one in which a stunt plane loses a wing, and remains controllable by adding full power and hanging on the prop down to the ground. Youtube is full of this stuff.

An F-15 with a wing missing can't be controlled by using the other aileron to keep the plane level. Neither does an F-15 with one wing have enough lift to keep it in the air. No matter what the airspeed, the side with the good wing will always produce more lift than the other side, and it will roll w/o you being able to stop it.

Urban legend? So is this history channel documentary all fake - and that Israeli pilot just sitting there lying?

I believe it at least... It's done before all those ad studios got too powerful software

EDIT: I've seen that stunt plane clip also - and that is all fake

Something observed already during previous patches but with more popup windows increased:

Many popup windows can only be used through using keyboard input. Not mouse clickable.

Second Launcher faiure this week after one hour's play.

Crash dump files uploaded in other Thread.

Unfortunately it doesn't show up in screen shots. Last night I turned on a wondow to show radio transmissions (they are damn hard to hear in this game!).

It was working fine, window was basically transparent and unobtrusive. Today I started the game again and the same window was a solid dark gray. I tried removing the window, but even still the dark gray area on my screen remained!

Has anyone else seen this? That's a big chunk of screen that's basically rendered useless.

The freezes are worrying me I have 2 or 3 every hour playing.
