Hi guys, as most of the people know that work with me, or I with them, I've withdrawn for almost all SDOE stuff, that said, in an attempt to get my interest back I started working on a bomber, so far everything is going pretty well, the only thing that realy bugs me is why the hell does the pilot always die after the bomber takes less than 10 hits?? These hits don't have to be to the pilot, they can be spread anywhere on the plane, but he always dies. I've raised the obHits value for the pilot, that didn't work, added obNoDamageChain to the fuse section.. nope, that didn't work either, I've raisewd the obHits to mosy of the body parts but that didn't help.. oh, I had to raise the obhits anyway since aircraft take so much more damage now.

I'm using patch x.9 with alt explosions turned on, bullet penetration on, and the pilot kill radius unticked.

The pilots crew radius is set to 1.

Can someone please tell me how to build a plane where the pilot doesn't suffer cardiac arrest when bullets start flying please, otherwise whats the point in me building a bomber thats easy to hit and the pilot dies almost straight away.

Thanks guys.

Nat saw exactly the same,if a couple of B17 were shot down by flak.No damage to the planes but all pilots killed very easily and fast.
I´m running the patch .9 too

Increasing the obHits of the pilot should be the answer... but this is a question for Bryan, so much has chancged with pilot damage... there were many work-arounds in the old code for pilot damage, maybe something is still left in there that is interferering with the proper damage accumulation.

Hey guys, I also posted in the patch forum, there are a couple more replies there if you're interested in the thread, but just to mention, I increased the pilots obHits to 40, so he shouild have been OK, but I also just tested with the crew radius disabled in the general settings and now he doesn't die anymore, wierd thing is the crew raius was only set to 1 in the SM file anyway so he shouldn't have been taking hits via that since it barely reaches outside of his actual body. I'm sure Bryan will work this out though.
