wing off set

[sharp kestrel]

the wing gets off set when damaged

it seems to also be moving a littel

[chrome crypt]

plane wings normaly flex a bit under load

[mystic wind]

Not bug, feature! When you take damage, parts of the aircraft will lose integrity and in some cases become noticeably "wobblier"... pull too hard with maneuvers when aircraft is damaged and you may experience spontaneous rapid unplanned disassembly.

[chrome crypt]

when the shaking stops, you might have less parts attached ...

[topaz forge]

no, not a feature, but a bug. look at the left image, the left wing is clearly offset to the top, this should not be happening

[mystic wind]

So, if the rear wing spar is sheared, but the fore wing spar is still good... what do you think will happen when the aircraft pulls positive G's?

[topaz forge]

what does that have to do with the wing model being offset?

[mystic wind]

If the aircraft has a high load factor, the wing will bend and rotate on the fulcrum point which is the remaining undamaged wing spar. This will make it look like the wing is "offset" when it is just clinging to that spar and twisting due to the load factor

[sand basalt]

wing not correctly fastened to the plane because of damage, plane pull up causing angle of attack change meaning more air pushing on wings, wing no want to stay with plane, wing try to break free.

there, i explained it in caveman

i think'

possibly

[topaz forge]

but that is not what i am referring to

[topaz forge]

the whole wing is offset, it is not bending

[chrome crypt]

It's off set because it broken and hanging on via hopes and prayers

[topaz forge]

forward and rear is offset upward, that should not be happening. should it be bending? yes, should it magically move up? no

[chrome crypt]

If damaged and no longer connected like the op stated, yes they will absolutely move. Every darkreach I fly tends to break at the leading edge at wings where they meet at the fuse

[topaz forge]

here is my wonderful rendition, the top is normal, the bottom is with damage. the wing should not be higher.

this is what it should look like

[bronze nymph]

Bros, AAA Battery is right. It is not bending it did detach in fact. Look at screenshots, you can clearly see insides of wing. At this point of damage it should be completely torn off, not just flying near it's mounting point. Sorry for my english

[soft arch]

OP should've explained what he expected instead of just pointing out that the wing moves when weakened to prevent all this

But yes the damage model's joints or whatever are not perfect so things are pivoting on the wrong point

[spare bobcat]

AAA Battery's right that wing is bugged

[topaz forge]

Thanks guys for actually understanding me.

[elfin kestrel]

when you understand the language of a AAA battery:

[fresh raven]

This is what's actually happening

The damage in the fuselage is causing the wing mount to be pushed up

Hence the wing being pushed up

What the drawing you have is with a damaged wing

The one on your plane and what I have has damage in the mount, with g forces this can often pop out and appear "offset"

[soft arch]

firelane refer to this one again and have another look at the screenshots, you can see the inside of the wing from the top of the fuselage

[fresh raven]

That drawing isn't really what's happening, May appear visually

But what your seeing is the inside of the plane

Due to the wing now seperating

[spare bobcat]

battery's right man

because the fulcrum (point of rotation) is at the seperation point

therefore wing flex/bend would look like this

meanwhile what's actually going on is this

a missile or some 20mm is not going to take off your wing and screw it back on half a foot higher

[fresh raven]

If you get this damage again, record a video from the front pulling up for around 3 seconds and then pulling down

If it moves during one of them it's what I explained it's a feature if not you are correct.

[spare bobcat]

wings will bend damaged or not

[fresh raven]

Wing would bend only If internal structure was hurt

It is not

[fresh raven]

Yes but the bend is not affected by the root

The internal structure of the wing will stop over bending

While may be a little bit more because of the seperation

[spare bobcat]

wings can be ripped off from sheer g-forces y'know

[fresh raven]

Yes

More often the tips break off but yes

[spare bobcat]

if you pull enough g's the wings, which are being hit with f**k tons of air, having larger surface areas will try to break free which even if not damaged, at sufficient g's for sufficient times the entire wing structure will tear off and fly away

and the wing in the photo, is not actually connected to the airframe anymore

[fresh raven]

Yes because it's damaged

The connectors are broken

The only connection is to the other side

Where the wing is contuinous

[spare bobcat]

how 'bout we just ping mitch and let him decide?

[fresh raven]

So it is not relying on weaker connections to the frame of the aircraft

And then a connection to the right wing point

Sure

[spare bobcat]

@mental plinth pls analyze this bug

[spare bobcat]

left and right wings on the compass airframe is not connected as far as i'm aware, wings will shear off independantly

[fresh raven]

In g forces, the wings sheer off a tips connection doesn't matter, and purely visually you can see they are attached

[spare bobcat]

the wing is off-set

[fresh raven]

There is normally a rod in these aircraft that connect the 2

Yes because the wing is bending

[spare bobcat]

at that level off-set the wing isn't connected to the frame anymore

[fresh raven]

If you move the connections more there is more room to bend

[spare bobcat]

it isn't its straight

[fresh raven]

Yes, because it's bending angular as most planes constantly do

[spare bobcat]

wings don't bend angular

they curve

[fresh raven]

Lift is still pushing these wings up

[fresh raven]

That is with g forces

Airliners aren't meant to withstand more than like 2.5g at all

And really don't want to go above 2

While the compass can withstand 9

[spare bobcat]

they can max load 7 gs, often tested upto 8

[fresh raven]

Materials curvature doesn't scale down

[spare bobcat]

even at 8 g's compass wings flex so little it's hard to notice

[fresh raven]

So it is purely bent

[spare bobcat]

it's off-set to amounts that shouldn't be possible

theres no more ways for the wing to hold on to the airframe

[fresh raven]

Connections in the main body and the other wing

There a rod throughout the plane to support the 2 wings together

*normally

[spare bobcat]

where

theres no where for the rod to go

it would snap

[fresh raven]

Where the wing surface

Their might be multiple due to the thinness

I have never built a fully functional plane without them(rc but eh)

[spare bobcat]

theres no where for the wing to y'know connect

[fresh raven]

The wing still has a volume?

It's not just a piece of metal by itself

It still has a little bit of internals

[spare bobcat]

it does have volume but under g forces or lift, if it's that far seperated it's not going to hold on, it'll shear off and fly away

[soft arch]

guys please the explanation is the game is representing it wrong we already covered this

it's trying to show the wingloading but its acting on the wrong point

[spare bobcat]

i know

i'm trying to explain that
