I have to say that no person will use flightgear for reenacting actual crashes because it doesn't model structures.
In crash recreation they don't ever model impact but only 1. Structural debris spread after impact or 2. flight system or weather conditions prior to impact or 3. structal failure leading to impact. Flight gear can only do the second of those and even for that the actual ground contact crash experience is irrelevant. Again really the whole "crash" scenario in flight sims was just a microsoft excitement feature and never ever should have been put into the minds of successive flight sim designers. It was an error in poor judgement done purely for entertainment purposes and doesn't model real life and shouldn't be in any sim unless that sim is going to do complete structural analysis (not something I am suggesting for flightgear).
