It is of course deleted from the archives, and he knows nothing about it...

I guess everything the "real deal" had to say just exposed too harshly how current simulations, his and others, were a big pile of claptrap...

But apparently, after all my threads, the Aces high FW-190A got quite a bit better...

Please, post this on Aces High board, I'd like to read Dale's comment when he realize that his FM is "Gaston approved"

The structural limit before permanent deformation on these fighters was typically a factor of two, so way beyond the assumed loads: 14 Gs on the Me-109G and 13 Gs on the P-51, so there is plenty of room for the structure to bend more than the assumed 6 or 7 Gs of assumed actual wing bending load.

Structural limit for deformation is the one listed in manual, for fighter planes, safety factor was typically about 1.5 so plane with 8G limit will be expected to survive 12G. Between 8 and 12G plane will suffer permanent damage and in case of repeated over-stressing it will break even at values under 12G.
You can see in attachment where is the expected wing failure for one WWII fighter.

There is no aviation board where Gaston didn't post his alternative aerodynamics theories, if he was capable of learning anything he would learn it long ago. He is not even funny anymore, it's just sad.
