Actually in the later add-ons for SoW (I know we aren't even looking at the release version yet) but it would be impressive if details like the above can be added.
I was talking with P-51 Fighter Ace Barrie Davis, and he recalled a take-off that went badly, resulting in his Starboard Wing Tank hitting the ground and coming off the wing. He watched as fuel sprayed everywhere and he had to make an emergency landing. So seeing parts separate from aircraft and sparks as they do would be impressive. Similarly another 318th Pilot, Harold Kick, remembered colliding with a bulldozer after heading off the runway on take-off (he was a young pilot then) and the aircraft flipped over. He was lucky that the straps held him in, as he nearly broke his neck, but that was the least of his worries as the fuel in the fuselage poured into the cockpit area and Ground Crews just managed to get him out before he drowned in the fuel. So maybe details like fuel leaks with runway crashes and fires could make an appearance? Cheers, MP

I've never seen sparks from Aluminium personally.

Whats those noobtube vids got to do with ww2 aircraft ?
Re: SoW I grant you, there would be sparks from steel components like undercarriage and some props. But belly landings would be spark free regarding Aluminium structure. Last edited by KG26_Alpha; 08-09-2010 at 07:59 PM.

How long do you think the thin sheet alloy is gonna last on the concrete runway?
What if it's grinded off (through?) and exposes other materials of the structure? What about the mentioned case of a crash landing with parts being torn off? If I remember correctly, Oleg once mentioned we can also expect flat tires in SOW again-> sparks (I also doubt you can't find any steel parts on on the belly of a warbird) Anyway: Sparks, we need them! lots.  Whats those noobtube vids got to do with ww2 aircraft ? -> so the evolution of designing airplanes made them use heavy steel instead of AI? Last edited by swiss; 08-10-2010 at 12:30 AM.
