SpeedbirdA320FO Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Hello forum! Forgive me if this is a silly post or idea but it occurred to me when attempting to make an emergency landing onto a road in Nevada (:music_whistling:) that maybe the lamp posts are a little bit too powerful? I'd guess that instead of blowing up my aircraft in real life I might just tear it down? Is there any way this can be tweaked? If this is a product of now having trees and objects that we have to avoid then feel free to silence me, I know landing on roads is severely frowned upon also! :helpsmilie: Thanks forum!

Night Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 I live here in LV and can confirm the large number of maniacs and idiots on our streets. You wouldn't even believe some of the accidents/incidents I've seen just driving to work/uni. Taxi drivers are actually great compared to some others, lol. Loving 2.0 so far, it's actually a lot more stable than I thought it would be.

kontiuka Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 I think it really depends how you hit the object. See the screenshot below where I just clipped my wing on a tree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
