The question is: is it reproducable?

1.) in general
2.) on certain maps only (mapping problem)
3.) not at all (that'd be the worst case

)

Yes!

I've seen this many times.

I experienced this on ATAG a few days ago.

I was warming my engine at Hawkinge when it got bombed and my pilot was killed... I jumped into another spit looked to my left and saw this...

OUCH!!!

If you really want look at your damage/aircraft after you have landed all you have to do is jump to the other team and you can see it for a few seconds before it disappears...

Beautiful

Lol..that Spit is trashed!

On that note about looking at your Aircraft...explain again m8?

LOL sorry that didn't make sense.. Once you have landed hit escape and join the other team, it comes up saying do you want to leave your aircraft hit yes then just press escape and it exits the map screen and your back in the game but viewing your aircraft from outside

very cool!

Just gonna quickly check this to make sure I haven't missed any steps.

I am not sure if this is the same thing.

I have an FMB test map.I start it by creating a server and then join.

Many times I have taxied down the runway in a Spitfire only to nose over and break the propeller.Each time when I respawn I see the old Spitfire on the runway with a broken propeller.

If you crash on the same location your next plane spawns it's not a bug: objects don't despawn automatically by design.

The reasons are not apparent yet to most, but there is use for this in the future. A couple of years later we'll all be having better PCs and CoD will be better optimized, we might be able to have persistent online environments. Well, it sure looks better flying over the battlefield and seeing the smoking wrecks of armored vehicles battling it out, than not seeing it because they automatically despawn after a while

Is this a default skin? It looks better than most of the skins that I have seen that have the wrong shade of blue.
(I'm not playing the game).

That's one of Cpt farrels works of art, he has a page setup in the skins sub forum... This is the skin I have always associated with emils very very cool.

Cheers!

That's why i said "if you crash near the spawn point", i didn't know which was the case. Thanks for clarifying
