Me, I really don't mind seeing a plane get stuck into the ground like an arrow on a dartboard because I don't crash at all. I like practicing hard landings for the Great SimV Races, but that's only for honing in on my emergency landing skills. Other than that, I just fly normally and land normally on my lovely P-38 [don't want to scratch that baby].

I would also like to see some more realistic damage effects.........but not to the extent of charred body parts lying about.  Unfortunately there is enough of that kind of stuff around the world these days already.

The effects I'd like to see are realistic visual graphical simulations of situations that might occur but do not result in a necessarily "fatal" crash, with the visuals  tied directly to systems failures that are somewhat realistic in how they happen and how they can affect other systems.  

If the tire blows on a wheel when you put it down too hard on the tarmac...... then some limited fire and smoke and shredded tire parts flying would be nice as the braking deteriorates and the plane veers on the runway.  If you do a "sucessfull" belly landing........ a lot of sparks, smoke, dust and such should show.... and the metal of the airframe should show dents and tearing as would be appropriate and/or any props should end up bent, destroyed, and so on.  If you deploy the flaps at 350 KIA ........they should cease to function properly and also look like what flaps DO look like when that happens.  If you have an engine fire, the appropriate aircraft systems should fail in the normal cascaded fashion and timeframes and the smoke and possibly eventually flames should show in the graphical model.  If you handle the systems to appropriately deal with the fire.... it should decrease or stop showing.  If not... it gets worse.


A bird hit could happen on an engine and just have the systems themselves affected..... with merely a subtle thud and a puff of a few feathers out the back  .

And so on.

If you have a situation that results in the significant destruction of the aircraft, all that is needed is the sim to suddenly go to a red screen that says something like "Aircraft Destroyed" or "Fatal Crash" or "You Lose" or "You've been demoted"  or "You're fired!" or "You're Dead"   or something like that.

I agree that the plane sticking out of the ground like a lawn dart is offensive and kinda' absurd.

yeah I agree exactly with what john baymore says  8)
Sounds about right, and  no  charred body parts

Nah...... it's shredded and flash cooked....like stir fry.  

nah, just throw a goose in there and all the feathers go flying out. goose pillows with a whiff of aviation fuel anyone?   

Perhaps Microsoft has not implememted any features like this for one simple reason: it wouldn't be a good experience.  If we were to have damage in FS, it should go hand in hand we declaring an emergency.  Until we get that, damage is a tack on at best.
