    Missing engine, but still puttering along

    I was pecking apart a flight of 9 JU-88's on DangerDogs Tobruk when a couple AI Hurris showed up. One of them decided to ram me... I lost the whole front of my Tomahawk, but the engine kept running. I couldn't get it above 150mph, but the AC was still flyable. From below, the exhaust is clearly visible. Damage model issue?

    Something similar happened to me too some nights ago while flying a Bf 110 C-4/N ( DD Server ).
    I've crash landed and my right engine completely detached from the wing stopping its " run " about 15-20 meters away from my crashed Bf 110.
    Despite the engine was completely disconnetted/cut from the aircraft I was still able to close/open the fuel chocks, raising/lowering the position of the magnetos, open/close rads, etc like if it was still at its place.
    So far I've experiened this only 1 time. ( The one mentioned above )

    Happened to me about a month ago in a Beau. Everything appeared ok engine wise but couldn't get up to speed.....the flak must have also caused other damage. This was on TWC server.

    It happens to me as well, but much more often than it happens to my colleagues... indeed, crash landing has apparently become one of my especialities... by the way, I'll try, from now, to produce screen shots every time I encounter this bug.
