No, even that wouldn't be enough. The CG would be aft of the center of pressure, so there's an unbalanced couple. No amount of elevator input would change that.

it's pretty simple: you lose your engine on a single engine plane, your CG is gone for good, you crash and burn. No exceptions unless your engine sits bang in the middle of the CG and miraculously drops out of the fuselage..

I am thinking that the vids of planes flying with wings and stuff missing are definitely not on full realism settings. I clipped about two feet off the end of my hurrie's wing last night and it flew along just fine until I tried to turn! I managed to wrestle her back under control and she flew just fine so long as I was gentle. That's about exactly what I'd expect. When I lost half a wing (damn stutters!) I spiraled straight into the drink. Again, exactly as I would expect.

In a real life situation, creating a symmetric wing-loss is not possible so the plane would spiral, but in the sim, this may indeed be an "accurate" representation of aerodynamics. However it's hard to say since I cannot make out speed. Ailerons seem to be disabled, he's getting roll from using rudder.

I have had similar things happen to me in IL-2 and LockOn flying the Su-25T (the one with the best FM).

EDIT:

Another EXTREMELY interesting find in the hurrpedo video is that if you fullscreen it and watch the remaining flaps, you can see them "flutter" in the wind. Probably because the mechanizm is damaged and they're just flopping around. Very interesting!

I hve heard abt Nethld relax policy on soft drugs but tht .... ???!!!

just like saying tht redfish can fly just by flapping their fin

I really like to see a furrball with about 16 fighter planes per side in air combat.

I don't have BOB COD yet, and I won't get it until the end of the month.

SO...my question is not to expose issues. I'd just like to see a good furrball where someone is actually having a good experience with the BOB COD.

I don't care if you are over London or water, just like to see a good air combat mashup.
