Kirsten Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 While putting a C15 (Spanish AF-18A) through its paces in WOE this afternoon in a sort of airshow routine over it's homebase, I obviously (and ridiculously) overstressed it during a high speed corkscrew and with a loud bang the right wing came off...... Never experienced THAT in a Thirdwire sim !!!!! Off course I had to eject and the plane crashed, but there seems to be a solution to this problem..... Look here: Have fun, Derk :yes: Quote

+Brain32 Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 Well the FA-18 in-game is capable of 20G's+ controls are THAT effective, I slightly adjusted that...isn't F-18 FBW eqipped? Quote

Mine is just a blank C-15 Quote

I'm very interested in your adjustments, it's quite easy to brake up the Hornet in WOE. Just happened again, pulling hard at the stick at 675kts at low level and again a wing came off... Some moderation may be the solution, Aju, Derk Quote
Kirsten Posted November 10, 2008 Author Posted November 10, 2008 Are you able to get the Spanish skins to show up? Mine is just a blank C-15 Hello AOCbravo, Got the Spanish skins showing on the C-15 by changing the nation in the data.ini to SPAIN and changing in all the decals.ini's (that is in all the 3 skin maps) for every decal the FilenameFormat to C-15/ALA46/D/Ins For me it worked, it's the same way things are handled with the C-12 (F-4C) Good luck, Derk :yes: Quote
+FastCargo Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 The FA-18 is a 'soft limit' aircraft if I remember correctly. Which means you can pull right past the limiter if you use abrupt control inputs. In other words...a max rate/deflection pull at 675 knots is a dumb idea. Oh, and for those who wonder about effective flight controls, ask Jug about the T-37 max G onset rate... FastCargo Quote
