I don't know about you guys, but one thing I have really been hoping is that Microsoft will come up with some better crash effects in FSX.  I really doubt that I am not the only one who gets mad when they hit a building (or the ground, or another plane) and it says "CRASH" on the top and the plane just sits there  Roll Eyes Grin  Ridiculous!  Am I the only one who wants to see the plane come apart and the buildings fall down and the ground react?  I mean, seriously.  Not like I try to hit the ground Tongue, but when I do I want to see something happen Cheesy!  Am I alone?

If you want crash effects, maybe spend your time with another type of software!

This is a simulator, designed to "simulate" flying.
It is not designed to see crash effects....

There are 3rd party effect packages you can get to add this to your sim.

I am sure I can say that Microsoft is not going to add crash effects as there is probably .01% of the users who really want this.

I will suffice to say that you are one of the only ones.

I think something along the lines of how crashes were handled in Il-2 would be sufficient.  That way we could try to fly a crippled aircraft to a safe landing.  But I doubt it will happen, for the reasons mentioned above.

Crash animations aren't going to get any better than they are now (assuming they are enabled)...get used to it.

Face it, it's flight simulator...crashing is a failure. There's no reason for them to make failure more interesting.

THERE IS ALREADY A HUGE THREAD ABOUT THIS!


http://www.simviation.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=FSX;action=display;num=113...

The only conclusion was that most SimV members have strong veiws on it ranging from:

yay! explosions rock
to
Oh noes a breaking plane I shall now cry!

no one could agree what level of damage simulation would be best and the whole exersized just seem to prove how stuben people can be Tongue

OK, maybe take out the big explosions, but I REALLY wish that when I go five feet from a building it didn't say that I crashed.  Or even if my wheel just brushed a tree it stops the whole flight!  Even if they don't work on the crash effects, they should work on making you crash only when you actually WOULD crash.

I'll say what I said in Kipman's huge thread:

Crash effects = no. Damage (bent props, collapsed gear etc) = perhaps. Wink

ah there your talking about the acuracy of collision detection which I think we all agree should be improved on as to do any decent stunts you have to turn collision detection off to avoid inexplicable building crashes.
