Ok, heres the story, I was flying my spit (like usual) and the weather was set to thunderheads and there were no enemy aircrafts withing at least 5 NM of me and flak was set to off. I flew through a cloud and suddendly BOOM and my aircraft blew apart . I swaped to the outside view, my left wing was totally gone , but I didn't see any bullet holes or anything like that, whats up with that??? Could I have been struck by lightning????

BTW, I didn't overs stress my aircraft, I was in like a 10 degree climb.

P.S. This been bugging me for a while, but one of my favorite repaints for the stock Spit IX sometimes turns all white, (the texture disappears) anyone knows whats going on

My wingmen are forever chopping bits off my plane ??? Last quick combat I did one of my wingmen decided to attack my target and chopped off my left wing whilst trying to get into possition. I sometimes used to get a white aircraft. Happened in CFS2 and 2K2 sometimes too. I have put it down to lack of memory on my old video card as after a few seconds the textures would come back and be OK. Since I added my new card this no longer happens.

About the wing, AA was set to off and no I didn't have a wingman (they always get in my way). Thats why its been bugging me. The only reason I can think of is being struck by lighining, is that even a feature in CFS3? Normally I wouldn't mind getting my wing blown off , but my wing just fell off this time .

So I guess there isn't a fix for the dissappearing textures?, oh well. Gonna ask daddy for a new card .

Thanks anyways guys 8)
