Realistic crashes

[xygax]

Whilst i have to admit that its a very good simulator there is a minor problem with the crashing...... Ok the blades fall off and so does the undercarrige but i cant seem to bend a boom no matter how hard i try. Smashed me scuttle yesterday and there was bits everywhere boom was seperated from the rest of the model and the tail gear was 20' away from the crash site the boom snapped off and was hit a minimum of three times. Yet when i tried to bend a boom on the sim no chance. even a scale one hte body doesent end up as confetti all over the field and i tried to bury the tail in the tarmac still no bend

How many times have you guys had a boom strike and got away without a dent ??

costs

what would be nice is an add on that calculates crash damage

Wow, they fall apart? not crashed in Phoenix yet

[Ade_Law]

thomas you got it the wrong way round... your supposed to crash in the sim and not in real life!

xygas, now i know you have a shuttle and lets face it anything (apart from a century hawk) is better than a shuttle. you want a knight 50, trust me :-)

Ahem or a Raptor 30

That's just my problem Ade, I've not crashed this year (don't count the stripped gear on Logo) - last one was my 600 at DMHC - reckon it's holding back now as I am too worried about bending one. The whole point of going Align was for cheap spares, Trev uses my parts box more than I do

I know the feeling Thomas why do you think I got rid of my 600E (and my Raptor come to think of it ) He only ever phoned me when he had broken something. I like to think he owes his success to us

Not when a complete new Shuttle costs £135 (Midlands I think) and he already has the 30 bits and pieces.

Add up the cost of going to a 50 myself and I'm happy to continue learning on the Shuttle for now and then a Sceadu 30 when funds allow.

If money is not a problem then disregard my statement and I agree with Ade.

Just my 2p.
