Another quick question.  I have downloaded MassiveCrash by Nick Needham, and he says I have to add an extra line to the aircraft.cfg.  How do I do this?

[spacedman]

Don't worry, I have found out what to do.

That crash program doesnt work for FSX, only FS9 and under

They took out the aircraft breakage and the sim staying in motion after detecting a crash situation in FSX so the crash programs dont work anymore.

I also found out that if AI traffic comes from older sources FSX won't detect any contact with them, only default aircraft or aircraft which have been designed for FSX will detect touching each other.

either way the sim either does not detect a crash on old planes or if it does it halts on contact so no more flashy crashy

I have tried it in FS9 and it certainly makes that dodgy landing a bit more spectacular!  Only trouble is, helicopter rotor blades do not do much if they hit the ground.

How do you do all that? (Easy to follow steps with words of no more than 3 syllables would be appreciated  ;D)
