Hi guys!
I think that crashes doesnt seem very true in this game...for example when plane hits in woods, it explode. In true life plane do not allways explode, sometimes it just lost few parts and pilot may make it alive.(hope you understand me

[reflected]

Very valid point there, but I suppose it's lost somewhere deep in the code.

Yep, would be nice. The forests are in all honesty the one thing that really seriously annoys me about this game (along with the Lerche, the 25lb Spit, and the ubered russian planes. OK, so its not the only thing then...). A mod like this would be great!
Would also like to see a mod that makes the forests visible at 90 degrees, but I might be asking a bit much there.....

plane to plane ground crashes is also pretty annoying i think, its just alot more simple that way as it is now i guess..

Some things will remain out of reach and this is one. Unfortunatly from my understanding the game's physics engine & dynamics simply arent there. At the end of the day there will be some reason to go to the Storm of War series.

in the grand scheme of things, I dont believe this is a show stopper... just a little niggle...

I have never put much thought into it...

true, the collisions not allways resulted in explosions, there maybe an engine flying off but no explosion :wink: :twisted: :roll: hock:

[Wiima]

happy to see that other pilots like this idea too :lol:

[handerson]

Nice idea man nice idea!

What pisses me off is that if you touch another plane ta 5 Mph your plane explodes. That's iot./ Because although possible it;'s quite rare to survive a in flight tree crash :|

Can someone like vpmedia or any other great skinner make mod that will replace craters texture to more realistic one :?:

what pisses me off is a F*cking great big bomber taxiing along at 10 mph touches a masking net shelter and bam! explodes...and the net is often untouched :roll:

That's it. In the game, all objects are infinitely stiff, but also very fragile. When two infinitely stiff but very fragile things touch, something has got to break. To simulate anything else, a very dynamic physics model would have to be implemented, which simulates stresses and is actually able to determine the strength of a structure. And that is definitely out of reach of the IL-2 engine, and much more out of reach of current processing power.
Oleg once wrote that bending wings and dynamical breaking points and all the other fancy things known from real life would actually be possible to simulate, but it would take a very long time to create the proper models, physics engine and current computer processing power is much too low to do such complex calculations in real time, i.e. 200 ms or so.
