I liked that a lot. I love how it caught fire and then just began to disintegrate as it fell. Beautifully coded DM Gentlemen.

Thanks Pol.
It just looks real... dramatic.
I think we're going to feel the things more intensely.
But that's what we all want. More immersion.

Good job, gentleman.

Very nice, but I think the disintegration of the plane happens just before the big fire explosion...
0.22 (Wings fall off)- 0.23 (fire explosion)
Shouldn't be all he way around? confused

Extremely impressive. Looks like the sort of stuff that would really happen, and leaving a lasting impression on the pilots who saw such things.

"There he was, smoking first, then on fire high above, and as he lost height, the fire got worse, bits of his kite started tearing off and he started coming at me. By design or by chance I don't know. The fire was by now engulfing his kite and I thought that he would surely take me with him in a fiery collision, but somehow he missed me by the smallest possible margin, and I just sat there, unable to move for what seemed like a very long time."

Looks extremely real and very believeable to my eye.

P4 is beginning to look very ready.....

OFF course we do!
We would take anything - spy shots through the chimney;
spy drawings done by your dog - whatever!

You guys are getting further and further on your way to ultimate thing.
And I bet, you come to dozens of new ideas which you might build into WOFF.
That explains the impossibility of making a release date.
And knowing this makes it a bit easier to bear the waiting.

Nope in fact it happens both ways around - in fact its simply damage that results in main spar disintegration - can be fire , bullets, rockets, G force , tactical nuclear bombs....

So the combinations of damage incurred and break up are actually quite endless.

But in this case seeing as you cannot look for yourself I will relay the action sequence:

Fire starts at 17 secs (maybe earlier) and at 18 secs the fuel tank ruptures, at 22 secs the wings break away as a result of the damage from the fuel system, fire and G forces exceeding remaining strength.
At 23 secs the engine system catches fire....

What we are hoping is that folks realise the complexity and effectiveness of the new DM system shown in this wee clip.


WM

Edit: I meant to add that fire spreads from System to System....
