| Folks - it is interesting to note that at present, in our poll asking what you'd like to see added to FSFS, the current leader is: "Even if you crash - perform analysis of flight and of crash"  I can only imagine that this would not be popular unless a fair number of folks are crashing their planes on a fairly regular basis.  Now of course I realize that sometimes we crash for all sorts of reasons that are unrelated to flight simulation such as: 1. It's time to go to the mother-in-law's  - darn - might as well end this session with a bang.  2. I've got this new 'crash effects' add-on and I like to watch it!  3. The dog got between my feet and I messed up the rudder pedals when landing.  But... there will also be times when, despite our best efforts we got plain get it wrong, and the ground (or water) suddenly comes up to meet us, a little faster than we had expected. So - when this happens to you, what are the most common causes? I've been simming for some years and can cite, for example: 1. I never used to care about fuel and I ran out of fuel.  2. Landing the wrong direction for the runway, without clearance, and didn't realize that the little-bitty light at the opposite end of the runway was what we call a 747 taking off...  3. Trying to land an airliner by hand for the first 50 tries...  4. Trying to land in very low visibility for the first 50 tries... ... you get the idea. We'd be very interested to hear your own experiences and also a little bit about how often this happens to you aces out there.

Folks - it is interesting to note that at present, in our poll asking what you'd like to see added to FSFS, the current leader is:
"Even if you crash - perform analysis of flight and of crash"
I can only imagine that this would not be popular unless a fair number of folks are crashing their planes on a fairly regular basis.
Now of course I realize that sometimes we crash for all sorts of reasons that are unrelated to flight simulation such as:
1. It's time to go to the mother-in-law's - darn - might as well end this session with a bang.
2. I've got this new 'crash effects' add-on and I like to watch it!
3. The dog got between my feet and I messed up the rudder pedals when landing.
But... there will also be times when, despite our best efforts we got plain get it wrong, and the ground (or water)suddenly comes up to meet us, a little faster than we had expected.
So - when this happens to you, what are the most common causes?
I've been simming for some years and can cite, for example:
1. I never used to care about fuel and I ran out of fuel.
2. Landing the wrong direction for the runway,without clearance,and didn't realize that the little-bitty light at the opposite end of the runway was what we call a 747 taking off...
3. Trying to land an airliner by hand for the first 50 tries...
4. Trying to land in very low visibility for the first 50 tries...
... you get the idea.

Hey, spot on SL. Where can I claim a price, as I really think I have done ALL of the above crashes.
