There is something wrong with the way AI flies their Fokker D.VIIs - sometimes they seem to slow down below the stall speed and simply crash into the ground tailfirst. I just observed two such accidents in a single sortie, one from up-close. This was HA, Erich Loewenhardt, in his yellow D.VII (regular VII, not OAW, not VIIF); he was gliding on a final leg of a landing circle at about 200 meters, when he slowed down, stalled and crashed. Another pilot from the same flight did the same few minutes before, outside of landing pattern, but also at low altitude. That was on 2nd July 1918, Marne (if this is in any way relevant).

Hi Dornil,

Is this when landing? If so install 1.11 which has some changes to improve collision avoidance when landing. We also have a further tweak to the fix coming in the next patch.
Otherwise remember we have random engine and other component failures possibly that is the case (or aircraft damage which is now accumulative (for example damaged wing parts can become weaker).

In fact 1.12 makes this even better so install that please, and try.

Already did, but have not flown since then. With 1.11 I did a few sorties, and so far all the Fokkers I saw were landing OK.
I will report if I notice any more accidents:)
