Good idea. We could ditch those stupid complex FDMs that cause newbies to crash all the time too. After all, if they WANT to fly, why should they be forced to crash just because they did something that's impossible in real life? <snip vast acreage of, IMHO, nonsense> I'm sorry, but from your comments it seems clear that you have no idea how crash detection works in any FG FDM. It looks like you're writing about a different sim altogether to me? With YASim in particular we have excellent ground and water modelling (as Maik, who wrote it and therefore knows what he's talking about) very politely explained... you should perhaps take the time to investigate what we already have. Have fun practising much more realistic ditching ;-) Cheers, AJ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
