Default Smiting Them Hip & Thigh

Inspired by words that we hear quite often online on the ATAG server...


Best in 1080p and fullscreen!

Everybody who has played Cliffs of Dover has noticed that the damage model is one of the best features of the sim. On this mission I involuntarily ended up demonstrating that!

In WWII planes, the trim tabs and control surfaces were actuated with different control cables, so it quite often happens that you can no longer use a control surface, but you can still use the trim tab on that surface for small corrections. That is what happened to me, and it makes for a pretty hairy situation when trying to land.

The music for this video is made by my good friend Christophe Gibert who has a band called Pantin Rouge. Check them out here: http://www.myspace.com/pantinrouge

Nice video. It really shows what a mess the damage models are. You get riddled with 20mm and fly on, the 109 takes a 1 second burst and erupts into flame. The Supermarine Sturmovik at it's finest.

You're wrong. It shows that it matters where you hit. He didn't do any crucial damage to me and a lucky machine gun bullet set his engine on fire (probably severing a fuel line or something like that). I would be very sad to fly a sim where the damage is completely predictable after you put a bullet in a hit bubble. The outcome of engagements similar to this has most often been the opposite, in the many dogfights I've flown.

+1 to Frey.

The 109 has too critical spots: The water coolant and the fuel tank. If you hit it, it´s over. As for the rest you can pretty much hit anything with very little effect.

The Spit & Hurri have not such a sensitive coolant but for the fuel-tank it´s pretty much the same. A 0.5-second burst and the plane is burning. It just might be harder to hit the fuel-tank...

Great video Frey. Indeed an an awesome illustration of the amazing damage model of Clod!

Cinematically your best video to date, in my opinion. Brilliant cutting, I loved it!

..and Clod is going to get even better apparently

Crucial /critical parts of the aircraft. We don't know how well protected they are though, or how vunerable.









When originally released by 1c these WiP screenshots were named 'dm' and 'collision model'.

good video thanks...the landing you can walk away from etc

but seriously mrfrey

- never fly straight and level in a combat zone!
- weave if you are tailend charlie
- even without elevator you could have rolled inverted to get away from that guy, maybe not a split s but at least an inverted diagonal

comon man you can do better than that!
