RealAir Duke Turbine (again!) - Crash Tolerance

Featured Replies

Question for the RealAir gents:In your manual it says.."Crash and Collision Detect: OFF."Therefore in my FSX "SETTINGS REALISM" window I know that crashes and damange should be set to "Ignore crashes and damage".Slightly confused as to what setting the Crash Tolerance slider should be set on. Easy or Hard?Help! :( Lovely aeroplane thank you.

I have mine set on Easy, but quite frankly, I do not believe it matterswhen you have "Ignore crashes" set..

That's what I am wondering. Am hoping the RealAir guys can give us a definitive answer. I've always left it on HARD in the past.

Why should be off?
Both versions of the Duke will do a gear-up landing, with accompanying gouges in the runway, sparks and sounds. You can also land successfully, gear up, on water. To do this crash detect must be off. I don't think with it switched off the hard/easy option makes much difference. If you have crash detect on, which in my opinion is a pretty useless FSX option, it merely resets your aircraft after the default "crash" sound effects.Rob - RealAir

OK I'll try it on the EASY setting. If anyone notices any differences hopefully they'll post here.
