This was fixed once ,it seems to be happening again,i thought the engines stayed on in 5.2 just the props fell off???????Can this be fixed it looks so silly and ugly for screen shots of a b-17 glider.

I hate this too but i don't think it was ever fixed.

I was thinking we could at least replace the engine lod with a copy when the one fell off.

Yeah the engine thing was fixed ages ago (pp 4?) I haven't checked the FM or jag's prop fix but if this is the textured fixed version from MH those may not be present either.

hy folks

I tought this has been "patched" once???
Yesterday I took a closer look on my harddisk, and I found a file called planepatch1.zip (inside there are several *.sm files) I took a closer look at the readme.txt:
".......Changes\Fixes made to the aircraft
much more realistically now - please comment!

2) The Lanc, B17 and Me262 should not lose their engines anymore due to damage.
..."

this has been done probably by Etienne Labuschagne???? e-mail: labucomp@global.co.za
(mentioned in the readme.txt file

so this might help??

cheers

That's funny you should mention that Hawker, I noticed them coming off in 5.2 about a week or so before installing 5.3 Before that time I never saw them cone off except way back when.
Maybe it's a visual bug?

They didn't fall off for me in 5.2 and previous except in certain situations (if I feathered the props right before they died)?
