Were there any changes in aerodynamics from 1.1 to 1.2?

So I built a heavy plane with FAT-455 wings that had the ability to pull fighter-like maneuvers. In 1.1, it could turn full power at sea level with a velocity of 340 m/s. I re-flew it in 1.2, and it's wings snap off if turning full power at anything above 170 m/s, even with additional struts to the wings.

My question is: was there a change of some sort to aerodynamics between 1.1 and 1.2 that could make it easier for large wings to snap off?

What version precisely are you on as there was a bug in the pre-release I believe and possibly in varying editions of 1.1 and 1.2.x as per this thread.  I couldn't find anything specific in the changelogs but I believe over all, assuming you are on 1.2.2:

At supersonic speeds a streamlined vessel is now more streamlined, and a non streamlined vessel is now less streamlined over all.  So either there were aero changes between 1.1 and 1.2.x, or you may have been running a bugged version of 1.1. Possibly maybe.

 

Sorry I can't help more!

It wasn't the aerodynamics, it was the joint strength. RUDding is more common now. Struts may help keep the thing together, but parts also have better defined stress and g-force limits, too.

What exactly did they change about joint strength?
