Explosion

[twistedsucker]

Does anyone know where I can find an explosion/crash modification other than the one in Simviation ('Massive Crash 2') because the current explosion looks like a firework and looks quite unrealistic. Can someone link me to a more effective, graphical (If that's a word) explosion mod? And also can someone tell me how to land a helicopter, i cant seem to slow down the helicopter, and if i just try land anyway, it crashes.

Thanks to anyone who helps

Well the helicopter thing, I ain't a heli pilot in reality (though I am thinkin' about it) but I do have some sim experience with it. For your first landings pick a large open area then you can focus on small locations. In level flight however high up, reduce power to idle-20 percent torque or so (This assumes you are in the Bell 206B) and pull up to maintain your altitude, let your speed just dwindle off to zero. As it gets slower you will start to descend. Once it zero's out, level the nose and allow the helicopter to sink. As you get close to the ground add more and more power.
In sims I have flown lots of other crazy approach patterns but this is the easiest and a great place to start.

Try here for some crash effects. There are a couple on the page.

Thanks a lot for the fine way of landing a heli. And also thanks 'Ben' for giving me a link to crash mods.  :)
