I just flew a campaign mission, landed a bit (*cough*) rough and taxied to my parking space. I shut down the engine, opened the canopy and just as the prop blades stopped spinning my right gear collapsed and my right wing hit the ground. I don't think I've ever seen something like that in a flightsim before. The aircraft was standing still, no movement whatsoever.
Love the feeling of a 'living', complex machine this little incident created.

Yep. The aircraft DM is a corker, very well made as are the terrain, external model, cockpits (especially the He-111) and FM's (although they could do with tweaking a bit) its just such a shame that all this good stuff is somewhat diminished by all the "sim lite" and gamey stuff that has been included.

You do know that cannon-round impact flashes are rendered tens of feet behind the plane they've hit? A bit like the hit-sounds.
This game has been cobbled together from third-party sub-systems that aren't even remotely fit for purpose.
But who cares, the game is being pitched at arcaders who could care less even if they knew about it.

And then there was the time (last week) when I taxied over a bit of crashed Pe2 wreckage. My entire left wing came off. The only bit of my plane (from external view) that had rolled over the wreckage, at about 10mph, was one wheel.

Fanboiz striking at everybody not saying everything concerning BoS is great, super perfect and shiny.
Pathetic! You're new here, aren't you. We hardly have fan boys here.

Pathetic! First, please don't refer to me in any manner or form of 'boy'. Now, someone complaining because the wing broke off after they taxied over shot down aircraft debris? Really? Is it a flight sim or one of those sims devoted to propeller driven snow sleds? Easy fix...DON"T TAXI OVER DEBRIS, BERMS, RIVERS or BUILDINGS! Problem fixed. IRL if you taxied over debris and got a flat tire the airplane is out of service until repaired. And better have a clone to supply some a$$ after the maintenance officer and the commander get done chewing on yours.

That is in the whole game, a few mg hits and you have a torch going down or a wing coming off.
That simply isn't true. I've put a lot of mg hits into aircraft without getting a kill. A few cannon hits is a different story, as it should be.
