Collision detection and explosion animation are two different things. With JSBSim, better collision detection is, if I remember correctly, simply a matter of defining more contact points around the aircraft body (e.g. in the nose, the end of the empennage, the wingtips, etc.). I don't remember how it works in YASim. An explosion animation is cute, but usually inaccurate. It doesn't hurt to have some way to show that the plane is damaged, though. > Also would it be a big job to stop the aircraft going through 3d models as if > they were ghosts ? I think it would be a big job, but we'll have to do it sooner or later.
