Potentially serious FM/DM issue

Yeah, I agree with OP ... BUT ... what-can-ya-do-about-it. CG shifts in 1946 are simple changes in trim, there isn't any active mass simulation, pretty sure our 'puters could cope with it, anyway. I'd just be happy if we had something approaching more realistic stalls in CoD, but, if not, I'll deal with it. (I'm almost certain we won't be any closer to groundlooping which would prove Mass modeling.)

OMG - Play That Funky Music!?! What year is it in Russia now - LOL.

The spit?

I hope you check your eyes before release mate.



EDIT: Ah Strike you beat me to it.

Hey... sorry about my blasphemy ... I was posting while seeing many pics on other tabs and got confused in the end.

maybe the missing wing was from a spit... you can never know...

So how that... Typhoon got there?

Oleg talked about this picture in the forum, and the spit just made a bad take-off and spun at the end of the runway...Somebody had complained then that it was impossible for the plane to be there because of the nearby tree.

Seriously..... what's up with the aircraft manufacturer and model type mistakes in this thread... next thing you know it's the mosquito

Spit... when your out purchasing bob go to specsavers

EDIT: Lol were a prickly bunch

Good point Mitch, that Spitfire's certainly got something wrong with it.

Yep definatlely something wrong with that B17 in that last picture right there

On a serious note, this is rather weird and should be implemented as it is a simple law of physics, of course there are situtations where this occurs, but in IL2 it is a little to frequent. I hope they look into it, but I doubt if this will effect the actual FM of the plane, it's almost impossible that they would leave out gravity..

Omfg, does it really matter how the plane came into the position it is in?...
