Does this happen everywhere?  If so maybe the aircraft's contact points need editing.

best,

I don't see any problems with KAUS...

It just sounds like the gear is failing due to hard landing...9.1 won't change it...

'Hard landings' will cause the 'collapse'. Make sure your not heavy for landing (to much fuel) and reduce your VS (flare) just before touchdown, letting the ac 'settle' onto the runway, not 'plop'.

At that time [1909] the chief engineer was almost always the chief test pilot as well. That had the fortunate result of eliminating poor engineering early in aviation.

Try landing in the same place in different default planes, like the cessna (which you should be able to land softly enough).  Then just as a test, try something else.  Takeoff in the 747 but really slowly, as in only get a few feet off the ground and then kill the throttle and let the plane roll onto the runway.  If it never happens this way, its probably your landing.

Also try turning off crash detection and see if it still sinks.
