    I got both of my wings fallen off from yak 3 while in full dive speed.
    Is something like that expectable from that plane? Earlier I never had
    those probs. I guess thats is something new with this new FHLInstall_164R2 I have installed tonight.

    What was your speed? It starts loosing parts at about 680-700khm IAS w/o any G's applied, so its quite possible to loose wings in high speed high G maneuvr. Especially if your wings are damaged.

    I really can't recall what speed I was. But I did not pull any G-s.
    I was just in dive - stright line on the angle maybe 30 Degs regarding to sea level. And I didn't have any dmg on plane. Ah yeah I hit the Wep during dive chasing that 190 that was wigling left and right in all that enormus speed!

    Got the same problem... both wings off at around 710kph, nothing lost prior to that (and the plane was still reacting to the controll surfaces).

    Just info: Yak-3 airframe had a speed limit of 650 km/h IAS (Flight Manual).

    No pilots stick jerk more than spit and p39 pilots.

    Maybe fw190's wouldnt have to run away if any of their other flight charictaristics were accurate. Like you know. a 190 that could OUT CLIMB A SPIT AT ANY SPEED. but I dont see that happening in the near future.

    i lost elevator in yak9t just following a buff. As soon as i dove to attack from low 6, my elevator flew away. They are so fast planes, that any dive makes them pass "safe" speed :(
