Oh dear

Oh man. You can pay the next A380 for Emirates.

Not everyone can break an A380 down... Congratulations...

It wasn't my fault. Sure I started at 20,000ft, on my side, nose fully trimmed down before leaving it at -8g+ for a few minutes!! I saw it start to split and wondered how far the wingtip (with engine) would go. It went a lot further than I thought it would!

It started of as a basic FPS test over Madeira X with my fresh install of FSX. It turned into an excercise in destruction

When it's not being put through utterly stupid stress tests, the A380 is a dream. My favourite aircraft in FSX in fact

You need to get a stick that can twist

Yeah, I went cheap to start with, unaware of just how addictive FSX was going to be. Some rudder pedals would be better!

Do you know how many man hours it took to build it?

Just did some testing trying to recreate this. At about -8.0G it's at its maximum.

And you got no separation? Wierd!

It hasn't happened since. If it makes any difference, I have the Emirates model installed, along with the Thomas Ruth A340-600 VC changes. Sounds are from TSS (747). Not sure what files talk to what, but maybe something's conflicting?

Right, I've replicated the 'occurence'. I recorded it in real-time to rule out any replay glitches. It was interesting doing aerobatics using wing views!

Video's uploading now, but I'm in the English countryside, so my connection leaves a lot to be desired! Will update in a bit.

Well, here it is. How to force the wing off of a PA A380.

Not within normal flying conditions, I had to work at it a bit!

Looks crazy!

Private Custard · Post by **Private Custard** » 26 Oct 2010, 19:49

Don't ask how I found out about this glitch!!

Maybe I'm missing my true calling as a tester!!

Me too! :lol:

Oh man...

Doesn't really matter what happens to the wings well outside of the standard operating guidelines, I still love it the most out of all my aircraft!

I guess we had to do this first:

Wow

I had no idea they could move so far without breaking!
