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

Featured Replies

I used to fly with crash detection on, but since I crashed into invisible objects over some ORBX scenery a few times, I have turned it off with a grain of salt. I would have preferred to turn it on if it wasn't for the invisible objects.

Thank you for all answers. I'll turn this off too. For me the most annoying was that for instance: I'm landing, I'm aligned correctly with the runway but turned my joystick a little bit to the right/left. Everything seemed to be ok but suddenly - boom-crash :O 

Safety first but I don't think such small - let say - deviations can cause a crash - especially watching all these real life pilots landing during huge storms etc.
Setting this on can of course improve landing skills a lot but I guess that this is not ideally related with real flight and spoils all the fun

Off because of collisions with trees that were > 50 meters from the wingtip. Anyway, I know when I've done something that would count as a crash in the real world.  In my experience it doesn't interfere with A2A failures.

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).

Pretty sure the Asiana guys suffered from some elevation issues with FTX :-D

Hi !

WHen I uncheck ignore damage and collision, if I retart the flight, the option return alone to checked...

I use the superhornet from VRS. 

Is it because of it ?

Turned it off in the days of FS9. 

Same here. Too many undue crashes due to invisible objects. The crashes were very unrealistic too. I'm not sure it has changed much in P3D4, and I'm happy with it.

I fly on IVAO and the recommend having it off too.

Ignore. Had some awful times where I've "crashed" on approach because the sim felt like the tree 10 meters below me actually hit the plane.

I ran with it on until I bought FSDT KCLT. If I land on 36L and cross the bridge on the taxi back to the terminal, something causes a crash either on, or just after the bridge. The only other place I ever had a problem was at the default KLAX. There was a taxiway there that also caused a crash. I like it better turned on.

I use crash detection fully on A2A aircraft.  For everything else, i have collision detection turned off, but aircraft damage by stress in on.
