I turn up full realism and then turn General down to nothing, for easier movement with helis...

If you turn off crash detect do your stunts count as succesful?  The only thing I turn off for stunts is "Aircraft stress causes damage" As it is really annoying for the 747-400 to "die" half way through a split S or loop.

When I want to sort of "test" myself and see what the heck I have learned ..... it is on full.  If I am tired and it's late and I just want to have a little low stress quick fun...... I turn it down a bit.

Can't do THAT in the real world  ;).

The scenery sliders are now always at full however and crash effects are always on.

best,

Smoke';

Most of the structures act like
solid objects, like bridges and
port cranes and some of the
marina docks the only way through
is crash off and a 747 will break as
soon as you invert it!!

I fly with full realism, but I find the aircraft stress thing totally useless, I've managed to cause an Extra 300 to break during aerobatic practice!!!!!! Its rubbish, so I don't use it.
The only time I have crash detection off is for certain stunts that need it (e.g. flying through the middle of the Eiffel Tower), or when I'm doing really close formation flying, as otherwise you get within about 1/2 a mile of the other plane and it tells you that you've crashed!
And I like to fly within a couple of coats of paint.....

Hate to be one of the few detractors, but I fly with only crash detect on and everything else set to easy/disabled.  I like flying, but don't want to worry about stress on the plane when I desend at 5k fett per minute in a 747 and have to pull up hard to level off.  Maybe one day I will move everything to real, but not now.

Never, ever, fly with aircraft colision selected.  Too many mid air colisions on final approach!
