Are you getting that Virgo wing problem with this version or with 
FS2_Open?  With FS2_Open it's a known issue, you just need to point 
towards the sun and fly at it for a while.  Before long you will meet 
the missing wing and be able to destroy it.

I haven't seen this bug with the icculus.org version though.  I know 
what causes the bug in FS2_Open, and though it's actually a Volition bug 
fix, I'm not making the same change in the icculus.org version.

Hmm, I've only ever heard of this happening under Windows.  I'll have a 
look and see if I can replicate the problem.
