Hello
i did some crashlandings on purpose to test the damage models, and found out that the landing gear is way to strong. the only damage i get from a 30-45° impact on the ground is some flat tyres. also my plane sometimes was just flipping back into the air. The landing gear should break much easier. settings Full Real ofc. |

It is not only the landing gear. Ground has no bumps and no friction. Feels like an icefield.

![]() ..I mean the feeling of rolling over ice. maybe we should set up IL2-ClOD drift competitions. Last edited by Kianoni; 04-01-2011 at 05:35 PM. |

It used to be almost imposable to take off or land in a field in IL2. Most WW2 AC were designed to take off from grass fields so I guess undercarriages were pretty strong. I don't know but maybe they were under modeled in IL2 but we were all just used to it that way. I've seen plenty of film of AC bouncing hard on landing.

The reason: It was much to easy to go nose over. The plane and often the pilot as well would have been lost. After landing on the undercarriage (with engine shut) the repair was quite easy and the pilot survived often without injury. I am sure you did see no single film, where real WW2 planes did land on unapproved grass fields. They were bouncing on good prepared runways ! And this is perhaps the reason, why landings are not modelled more real. If 95 percent of the gamers would crash even on the airports, that would be somehow frustrating and not good for selling the game. In "Rise of Flight" the interaction with the ground is modelled much more accurate. But this is a "niche sim" with much smaller selling numbers. Most of the online gamers are RL pilots or PC sim enthusiasts with several hundred hours of training. And they often still damage their plane on landing. |

I was also testing the strength of the tiger moth's landing gear earlier today. It is tough as nails apparently! I tried scraping it off on hills, slamming it HARD into the ground repeatedly, tearing it off via a farmhouse.. nothing seemed to work!

The strut was not only small, but it was at an angle, so it had a lot of side loads, and snaps. Spitfire I think suffered snaps, but the Hurricane was solid. Off top of my head, it is rarely mentioned in books. |

LoL @ the drifting vid of mini RC cars that's awesome! I want me some of them, is that your own personal video? if so, how'd you make the track? what did you use for the road?

Not "another" bug but a real one that Devs are aware of. Read the various handling reports many make direct comment on the ability to plant the brakes and the aircraft's nose tipping tendency or lack there of.

engage wheel brakes right after touchdown and say that again..
