Hey all,

I've been flying a lot of the PMDG 737, 777, A2A planes and Black Square aircraft.

I am not sure what the settings should be around crash damage and other physics in MSFS. For example the turbulence setting, detect crash impact etc etc.

I absolutely want my engine failures to have consequences and not simply get a message about continuing my flight.

 

Whats the best approach to all the settings for realism with complex payware? I understand there's no visual damage model, but at the same time having my planes bounce off the floor or auto reset in the air feels a bit off.

Turn off crash damage, crash detection and anything relating to that.

Fenix advices you have turbulence on low but I personally just leave it to realistic. 

Honestly you just want icing on and turbulence, all the other stuff should be off.

If you want engine failures or failures then you need to look at the respective EFB for each of those planes and configure things like random failures or specific failure

Agree with @Lucky38i above. 

Crash detection is the only you need to turn off. It makes no difference if the plane bounces off the ground or you get the "You Crashed" screen, since you already know you crashed. And crash detection can cause all sorts of random weird issues.

The complex planes all have their own failure settings, and those are usually very well done (in the sense that they simulate the failure and the steps to fix it correctly). Use those settings and follow the FCOM to fix things if you want to go that deep (or you are a r/w pilot).
