if I action flaps at 160 knots on a Cessna 172, I want to see the flaps strap out and fly away and not a silly message saying I have no longer working flaps but i still see them there at the external view.

I also want fireballs on crash, you know hot yellowish fireballs in ground and cold orange fireballs with a lot of dense black smoke at the sea and a white water splash.

if the plane separate in pieces at the crash, the 🔥 needs to keep attached on the pieces 🔥 🔥 🔥

I also want wing flex and possible cracks.

Are we talking about Flight Simulator or Battlefield VI??

if there are no fireballs it is not a flight simulator but a cute 3D bing maps viewr with fluffy clouds.

Unfortunately we will have to agree to disagree. Imo, doesn't need it. Maybe the SDK will support damage if developers want to implement it, but I don't need it. Just give me icing (they have) 🙂

There was a recent thread on the topic. I don’t know what could be added. Note that it was closed (mercy killing).

Simming since 1981 -  [email protected] GHz with 16 GB of RAM and a 1080 with 8 GB VRAM running a 27" @ 2560*1440 - Windows 10 - Warthog HOTAS - MFG pedals - MSFS Standard version with Steam

 

In the thread I started, I think most don't mind minor damage, like a broken gear, or maybe a stuck flap.  

But a lot of concern was brought up by some people concerning explosions.  While some, as noted in this thread, were OK with them.  (Talk of explosions is a hotbed topic for some people, and may close this thread.)

My suggestion would be to make a poll, to see what people consider acceptable and what is too much.  

Personally, I would like to see damage modeled that affects the flight model.  Things like damaged landing gear, flaps damaged from going too fast, etc.  And it would be nice if a slight brush with the top of a pine tree isn't assume to be a crash.  I don't care about explosions either way, just want realism up to that point and no assumed crashes.

Good luck, and I assume they game will have options in this area.

My brother has Coronavirus, confirmed by testing. On 3/26 he almost didn't survive the night.  He had extreme trouble breathing and was given a steroid inhaler.  He was very weak, had nausea, and other issues that aren't pleasant.  As of this update he is feeling much better, and seems he will be fine.  Stay safe out there.  (Updated 4/6)

Difficult topic, because the partners (aircraft manufacturers) do not want their aircraft to break. 

F1 from codemasters it's the same. According to the contract, the chassis must always remain whole in order to present the sport as safe.

If you remove the middle paragraphs, it's OK. 😄

Happy with MSFS 🙂

Damage can be a great teaching tool to learn not to mistreat the aircraft. It also can teach you about emergency procedures. As the simulator is supposed to be entertaining it can also be fun.

However, it's still a flight simulator, so simulating damage stops when the aircraft is no longer flyable. A fireball won't teach me how to do an emergency landing or deal with birdstrikes. It isn't even fun imho.

Just wondering why we are repeating the entire conversation we had a few weeks ago, all over again.

Might be better to just go back and read the last topic on this. Doubt any opinions have changed.

I suggest finding a new airline for your next trip.

As to the question of damage modeling - while ideally absolutely everything in the world will react with 100% realism, in terms of a flight simulator I cant think of a bigger waste of limited development resources than spending time making sure we get accurate... fireballs.

I agree Scotttoest.  It would be a WAIST of development resources.  I would MUCH rather have those resources go to eye candy, AI, anything.

I didn't say accurate fireballs, just a hot fireball in ground and cold one in water + splash. 

the official partners will probably demand their basic freebies planes to stay intact but we, the black art 3rd party Devs will create the cool planes, and we will include damage and fire no worries.

Assuming that kind of effects work is capable under the engine they are using, then you're good to go.
