When I scrape wingtip on the ground, more often than not my plane's fuselage catches on fire.

Not the most brilliant damage model there... But yes, it is also plane specific. The system itself is pretty limited but with clever design, illusions of more complex damage modeling can be made.

could the FM strength also play a part in this, I've seen an area where there is toughness for each part of the plane.I haven't tested it yet, but bomber have a higher damage where fighter only have about 100-200 for certain parts.

Hope to hear something from this soon, as I like the others, have had problems with taxiing and such and barely touching another object and explode.....or barely scrape wingtips with another plane from my flight and the entire wing falls off

I just try not to bump into other aircraft....

Even bigger problem, I think, is explosion's damage to other planes. Some planes have that strange feature - you can empty half of your ammo at them and they don't even seem to be scratched, but then, after just one bullet, they explode like a nuke. For example Ki-27 suffers from this so much that while playing excellent Flying Tigers campaign I got destroyed by it exploding in front of my nose much more times than I got shot down. Most of DBW1916 planes have that feature too, and it looks even stranger (since there is really nothing to explode in those wood-and-canvas planes).

On the bright side, in 4.12 if you crash into the ground and explode, some parts (usually tail) remain stuck and maintain shape of aircraft instead of bouncing around. Just a little tweak, but crashes now look a lot more realistic.

Let's hope that tweak finds it's way into DBW.

I don't TRY to hit them, they get in my way seriously though those bombers can be hard to handle on the ground in close confines sometimes
