Right main gear collapse.

Howdy I was landing at Perth (YPPH) runway 21 and my right main gear collapsed on me and so it looked like a good entry for the contest. I managed to get her off the runway and avoid the dreaded crash re-start.

Thanks for looking...

Looks like more than your gear would be gone, your engine would rip off, maybe start a fire and that whole wing will disintegrate and the plane would just crash completely  ;D ;D ;D

Actually FS2004 has it, you just need to enter this line in the aircraft cfg under each repaint:

visual_damage=1

Now go fly by a building so that the wing goes through and watch your wing magically fall off!  :o ;D

Psychic connection - prophetic in light of the United incident at Newark today.. though admittedly the engine didnt go below terrain and disintegrate the aircraft ;D
