SimV dosen't really care for pictures of airplane crashes, unless it's a combat sim... :-/

That's a view I think I've heard from many at simV, including myself.  There was a thread of a Q 747 blowing up with crash effects that wasn't taken too nicely a while back.  No problem, just don't get in the habit.

Personally i have no problem with that pic, it is after all a simulation, so no-one was injured  ;) also it highlights a bug in FS that is quite amusing to see in itself  :P  

someone needs to practice their landings...  ;) lol jokin'

Hmm.. I haven't been around this forum for that long so I don't want to step on any accepted courtesies.. but it seems a little childish to informally ban crash pictures.. It's a simulation - it's a game - and it seems ridiculous to suggest or imply that anyone is condoning crashing an airliner..  ::)

My thoughts - I guess I'll get some flak for that but so be it.

Granted, Chris. But after 9/11, everything you say and do must be very careful... I know no harm was ment in the picture, but you really never know...

9/11 was real.. this is FS.. "as real as it gets" but not real life, its true you do have to be careful, but the images does not show a/c hitting building, or hint at terrorist activity etc....

Fair point, but streched a bit, especially for that pic is my opinion.

Flyboy - I see your point, those things can certainly offend people or possibly lead to misunderstandings - I'll keep it in mind.
