September 14, 201511 yr It is :-) There are many videos about this sort of "inaccuracies" but most are recorded using the "simplified flight dynamics" mode of the missions. Yet, some of these also show flight with loss of parts of the wings and stabilators that could indeed be performed IRL. There are images of ww2 combat aircraft, and modern fighters flying with considreable obliteration of lift generation surfaces and control surfaces. This particular video I think shows a more or less plausible situation, because the area of the left wing which generates most of the lift is still there.... The right aileron is also there, although functioning only partially and well deflected up ( good to counter the torque from the engine as well as the drag from the broken left wing... And, this particular aircraft also has aileron trim tabs, which although I can't see them moving, might be operational and offering some additional control, even if reversed from what is normally used :-) There were images of a Fw190 landing with around 1/3 of it's left wing left, and part of the stabilator also gone... You should really try BoS Murmur, and evaluate for yourself :-) Learning to fly gliders since 1980AMD Ryzen 5600x, 32GB DDR4, RTX 3060Ti (8GB), GIGABYTE B550 AORUS Elite AX V2 mobo, 1TB + 500GB nvme m.2 disks
