That is probably beyond the capability of this decade old game engine.

That's like trying to model the detrimental effects of harmonics on the airframe at certain RPM's. Some things are just beyond the capabilities, and arguably the philosophy, of this sim.

In a way variable explosion/damage intensity is already modeled; Flak does more damage the closer it gets.

While it'd probably be a bit of a kludge(though as the engine was only designed to simulate the Ilyushin Il-2, I expect the game shipped with a few ghetto-mods already) I do believe it's possible.


Personally I love limping home in a damaged aircraft to try and save it, so having it not blow its wings off on the way would be nice.

Well... on the limping back, was the initial sensitive point.

Why is it that a plane explode in flight, by just moving the throtlle, and getting an unrecoverable fire damage from less than a 10th litter fuel excess!

Cutting that engine throttle, and entering into a dive should be enough to put the flames out, and a try to make a return to base.

That era engines wont be able to recover in flight from a flame out, thing much more likely to happen on any jet.

Wow, seriously? Did someone actually say fuel vapors aren't explosive???

Dead horse because the thread starter said something ridiculous?

The original claim did have a point.
