Can we get an official explanation on what "Your plane has burnt down", actually means?

It takes you zero effort to go

“Hmm, this game I died in a weird way”, go to the replay website, save its link and share it with others for input rather than vagueposting.

Here is a prime example that occurred right in the middle of this discussion. My aicraft was on fire, 100% controllable, RIGHT before I touch down to cap a airfield, “Your Aircraft has burnt down”.

Right around the 6:50 mark

Lmfao asking how a mysterious mechanic works is “vagueposting”.

Love to see it.

Well, yeah, only fire that can burn hot enough to take out metal control systems is a hydraulic fire, which only applies to hydraulic assisted control surfaces.

Also not like a Su-25 took like, 12 stinger before going down one time.

Okay so I’ve ran this past a developer.

Fire should be the last type of damage before aircraft becomes dead.
Pilot was burnt in the air in the burning aircraft before it hits the ground.

I then asked “What about in the instance where there is no fire?”;

No fire - can’t be burnt

And then if there is no visible fire but you did get that message you “burnt down” that is a bug, so we’re than back to replays if you’ve got them.

So again, you seem to be avoiding the question.

I am asking, What is “Your aircraft has burnt down” and why does it occur while having a completely operable aircraft?

Not dodging at all, I’ve literally just bothered a dev with your question…

You took fire damage > pilot dies > “Your aircraft has burnt down”

If for instance your pilot was alive, or your plane did not catch fire it is bug.

This is exactly why I asked for replays, because then we can ascertain if you were on fire but it wasn’t visible or you weren’t on fire and the mechanic trigger incorrectly.

The definition of badass

I don’t think it’s off topic (or twisted) if I’m asking a question about a contradictory statement in your original post. But I see you’ve (honestly) edited your original post about this bit, so all good.

The fact you consider this “bothering” is rather telling, and I literally just posted a replay with the time stamp. My pilot, while injured, is not dead and my aircraft was 100% operable. I was forced to eject from my aircraft right before touching down on a cap.

This is not the instance I was referring to 50+ hours ago for clarity.

Very common use in English to describe taking someone away from what they were doing to something else you or another person wants as “bothering” you want to read more into that, that is on you.

Thanks.

okay at 6.37 you catch fire


6:51 your pilot is nearly dead

Then your pilot dies to the ongoing fire;

The only person getting upset is VERY clearly you currently.
