Thats good step to catching up with BoX structual damage then

That is not catching up, that was always there and it was even more pronounced in the original game. I saw hundreds of 109s losing their wings without any damage taken :joyman:
So ok, I can understand why TF restricted the stick forces on the Me109, that is historically correct. But why they did it on the Spit? Balancing?
You could brake a wing on all of these aeroplanes if you exceed the structural limits.

Here you go, this is from a track recorded in April 2014 with TF 4.312.

Well as stated with the damage models concerning cannons the 109 wing was far too fragile. They probably made the quicker and easier fix because they didn't have the time/source code to fix the wing bug. So probably not an issues with the system, only an issue with the 109 wing modelling.

Look at this. I damaged his wing before that.

That's really interesting. I never experienced that with 4.3 but I never played with older patches.
Does anyone ever had a damage+Gbrake on 4.3?

Look at my new video above with a Spit, that's with 4.312.

Well they fixed the spit not catching on fire bug, video of E1 vs Spits in TF4.49:

They catch on fire like 109s now in TF4.3, good job TFS :nice:

I like the grey out before black out, will trim and other controls like prop, throttle and switches work when in blackout? or that will also not work like stick and rudder controls when in blackout?
In TF4.3 blackouting is no problem as you can still control airplane with elev, aler, rudder trims and throttle, pitch, is this gona be left same in 4.5? if pilot is in blackout he should not be able to move anything in his airplane.

Blackouts are subjective , not all pilots are the same so making one rule for all is not true to life either!
