Powered aircraft types explode permanently on their crash if powering structure is lost

[Rodrigo Gonzales]

If an aircraft type is powered by a structure, and that structure is lost while the aircraft type is flying, the aircraft will crash, as expected. However while falling, it will trail numerous "explosion" animations until crashing into the ground.

Is that by using the PoweredBy logic or the PoweredUnit logic?

[Rodrigo Gonzales (mustafa-khalil)]

Issue cropped up with PoweredBy=.

[Rodrigo Gonzales (mustafa-khalil)]

Seems like it gets re-destroyed on every tic of the game as it still checks as existing during its fall, hence exploding again and again.

[mevitar (mevitar)]

I can confirm this issue. AircraftTypes with PoweredBy= explode each frame (at least it looks like each frame) while falling when they become unpowered.

In what branch is this fix committed? I could not see this fixed in d03 and fat man.

[AlexB (alexander-b)]

I changed the PoweredBy logic in Fatman to not destroy a unit if it has been destroyed already. I didn't test it, thus I can't actually say whether this is working at all. If this problem is still happening since Fatman 12.337.974, the fix doesn't work.

[YR M0ddEr (yr-m0dder)]

When used the latest fat man, from unstable builds, the result was exactly the same as the older version(ie, the things described by the OP and mevitar).

After testing 12.337.974 I confirm that it doesn't fix the explosions problem.

[AlexB (alexander-b)]

I uploaded a new v02 binary, 12.339.1154, which will hopefully fix this.

[YR M0ddEr (yr-m0dder)]

Yepp, that fixed it.

[FS-21 (jagarni1983)]

Yes, 12.339.1154 fixed it.

[AlexB (alexander-b)]

Cool. Thanks, guys!

[YR M0ddEr (yr-m0dder)]

Do you need more verifications before you can start work on 0.3 again?

[AlexB (alexander-b)]

What do you want to verify? All current issues have been closed as of the post above yours.

[YR M0ddEr (yr-m0dder)]

I was referring to other issues that might need extra testing, not this one.
