November 29, 20169 yr I was testing the water spray effects and general water interaction when I hit the surface a little too hard! You should have seen my face when this happened on my screen!!! That's right! The wing completely detached, burst into flames and remained stationary as the rest of the plane continued it's journey of disintegration across the waters surface!

November 29, 20169 yr All sorts of surprises inside XP11 for us NOOBs! I found i could both crash or belly land depending on the impact. Cool stuff!

November 29, 20169 yr Ha! Good find! Indeed there seems to be a new damage model available in XP11. If I'm not mistaken, they did not announce it. I wonder if it's also to avoid the expected reaction "THAT'S TOO ARCADE!!!" from the "serious" flight sim community. In any case, I think this feature will be appreciated by many Steam user... :smile: Looks like most new aircrafts have this new damage model. Other than the C172, it's available in the ASK21, the S76, the Vision and the MD80. Spectacular! :smile: "Society has become so fake that the truth actually bothers people".
November 29, 20169 yr Incredible - they actually included soft-body physics? This will satiate the 'I fly to crash planes' crowd...
November 30, 20169 yr Commercial Member Hmmm... maybe this is a first step (extreme, but still a step) towards implementing some sort of localized damage model, something along the lines of accelerated component wear with aircraft abuse, landing gear damage (not bust into flames damage!) on a hard landing, things like that.

November 30, 20169 yr I like the crash effects! Adds to the realism.

November 30, 20169 yr I noticed in the options a comprehensive failure section which is nothing new per se but I am curious now that have if we set it for a tire to burst on landing if we will see the visual result.
November 30, 20169 yr The particle system is great, smoke reacts to propwash and wind. I think they should use it to rewrite the code of the thermals, would be a nice improvement! "Society has become so fake that the truth actually bothers people".

November 30, 20169 yr What's still needed is more light damage modeling short of a full crash. XP10 used to have a "tire blown" notice on a hard landing, but I haven't seen that in a while. I might have disabled it somehow, or I'm just never triggering it and I'm not THAT good with every landing. We should have degrees of damage from a tire blown to collapsed gear on a hard landing, so we have more feedback on our flying skills. Right now, every landing is either perfect or you crash. Another thing it would be nice to see is tail strike damage. That happens more often than you'd think in real life for airliners when landing, and it can happen with helicopters too.

November 30, 20169 yr What's still needed is more light damage modeling short of a full crash. [CUT] Yes I agree. I think damage modeling will necessarily be something that must be modeled on a per-aircraft basis, so the important thing would be to have X-Plane provide a "damage engine" that 3rd parties can use to model damage on each specific aircraft. A bit like the new FMOD sound engine that can be used by the aircraft designer, but it falls back to default X-Plane basic sound engine if not used. "Society has become so fake that the truth actually bothers people".
November 30, 20169 yr Good point about the need to model light damage on a per-aircraft basis. The G-forces that commercial airliner or military jet landing gear can handle, will be way different from a light GA aircraft.

November 30, 20169 yr Interesting effect for sure, and I think a step in the right direction. For those curious, this is disabled by default and must be turned on by the user. I didn't even know it existed until seeing this thread and testing it out a bit this morning. I've always wanted something more inline with the DCS series regarding gear damage etc, those guys have the results down beautifully. This is maybe the first baby step towards that!
