Ignore/detect crashes and damage - what is your setting?

Featured Replies

I'm wondering whether you have this option set to ignore or detect? Currently I have selected "detect" but sometimes during landing everything seems to be ok and suddenly something goes wrong and my plane has a crash. I know that this is all about flying skills but I'm wondering whether it is well related with real flying physics?

Especially that on VATSIM for instance they recommend to select "Ignore" to have no crashes online.

What do you think and what you're using?

I use "ignore" since there were sceneries leading to unexpected crashes back in my FSX days and never changed it. Seems however that for example the A2A airplane wear and damage does not work properly if you use "ignore"...

I use ignore. My addon planes have their own damage model and I hate to be crashed by an invisible box near some taxiway...

Yep.... "off"..... as there are a lot of... well.... "funny" people online....

I have all crash detection switched off in P3D. There really is no need for it.

I checked back in the A2A forums and this is not true so I correct myself. Then, no need at all for anything else than "ignore".

Off because of things like taxiing to runway 5 in FT CYYZ and crashing into an invisible building on the taxiway. Or, worse, on final at FB KSFO and right before the threshold my plane just plunges into that seawall and I have Asiana 214 all over again (not saying it's a fault of the sceneries).

Ignore.  Way too big a risk of crashing into something invisible.

Set to Ignore. AI likes to taxi and hit me, causing a crash.

Have it on. No real risk of fake crashes on default airports and it adds to realism. I can't do something silly like go through a tree or building and just carry on as if nothing happened. Also I can't land at 2000fpm. 

 

Have it set to ignore otherwise you can't do a wheels up landing!

Try it in the Realair Duke, quite spectacular.

Most of the time, it just seems to make the plane randomly explode for no reason

I have it set to ignore crashes. It's actually more realistic to set it to ignore crashes and just be careful as you would in real life. It's far less realistic that a stray baggage handler can crash into you while you're still on the ramp, therefore ending your session.

Best regards,
