crashing?

[newairpilot]

hi. in fs 2004 when i hit the ground at high speed i just bounce up. i know that there are reasons for not having explosions but is there anyway flight sim can tell me that i have crashed?

[JBaymore]

There is a checkbox in the Settings part of the sim that enables crashes and aircraft stresses cause damage.  You have to check them.  I think by default it is "off".  

Then up the realism settings to full too...... and you'll find the sim is a bit tougher  ;).

There are also thrid party add-ons that put crash effects back into the sim.  Check the libraries here at simV.  Some are freeware ...some are payware.

best,

Welcome to the madness that is Simviation!

Follow Johns advice and you should be all set up for a more realistic flight..

Another thing i would like to add in the aircraft.cfg add the line visual_damage=1 if it is already there make sure it is set at 1. if set at 0 please change it for visual damage to work.
