Richard, that is not really a bug that you can fly with parts broke off the plane. The joints that hold parts onto the aircraft in AFP can be essential but dont have to be. Essential joints when broke will cause AFP to re-set the aircraft. Non essential joints when broke will not reset the sim.

In the aircraft folder there should be a .tmd file that can be opened in word or notepad. This has all the joint details. To make joints essential or not just find the specific joint you are looking for,
it will be called somthing like


cd JointFuselageStabilizer/

a few lines down you will see the line

Essential =

If this is set to
Essential = 1 then parts are essential, if set to Essential = 0 then the parts are free to break off and not effect the sim.
