Greetings nightfox:I'm not sure what you were originally asking here. Is it why don't the airplanes break up into pieces and catch on fire fire etc when they crash? I think the reason is the concept of Flight Simulator follows the wonders of flight more than the pursuit of the ultimate in all aspects of realism. After 9/11 and all of the people that started pointing fingers at Flight Simulator for purportedly help train the terrorists, I think MS rightfully avoids providing more "fuel for the fire" so to speak by sticking with flight. My $0.02.
