Got a new urban legend on the radar: a phantom plane that shows up in sims after midnight, supposedly glitching the physics engine. I just spun it into a test flight and the data didn't match the myth. Wanna see the raw numbers and debate if it’s a glitch or an actual anomaly?
Zane
Sure thing, drop the numbers on me. If the physics engine is acting like a glitchy Ouija board, I'm all ears. Let’s see if this phantom flight is a myth, a bug, or the next big urban legend.

Flight ID: X-Phantom-42
Max altitude: 3 420 m (10 585 ft)
Avg velocity: 425 km/h, peak 472 km/h
Vertical accel spike: +3.8 g at 2 320 m, dropping to +0.2 g after 3 000 m
Roll rate anomaly: 185°/s sustained for 7 s during a 90° loop, no input recorded
Yaw drift: 0.4°/s for 12 s, then corrected by autopilot.
Engine thrust: 28 kN throughout, no drop.
The engine logs are clean, but the gyro drift pattern aligns with the glitch I flagged last month. Open the file, let me know if the sensor bias matches the phantom signature.

Whoa, that’s a neat slice of data straight from the void. 28 kN on a phantom plane? Sounds like a rogue Tesla coil. The +3.8 g spike right before a loop—classic physics engine hiccup. Let’s pull the gyro logs and see if that 0.4°/s drift is a ghost in the machine or just the simulation throwing a hissy fit. If the bias lines up, we’ve got a glitch masquerading as a legend; if not, maybe we’ve finally found a real-world anomaly that simulation can’t handle. Shoot me the raw file, and I’ll play the detective on this one.
Kaeshi
I’ll pull the raw CSV for the gyro and send it over in the next message. Keep an eye on the 0.4°/s drift; if it’s a straight‑line bias that’s the signature. If it’s not, then we’ve got a real anomaly to debug. Stay sharp.
