Structural failure....

[Kirsten 0]

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,

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?

Are you able to get the Spanish skins to show up? Mine is just a blank C-15

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,

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,

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...
