As for belly landings - plane explodes if it is damaged heavy enough not to take off.
So it is not ruining gameplay. Why do you need it? It is flight sim, not crash sim...

well i've had my plane in immaculate condition, approaching the ground at about 20mph and the second my wing touches the ground. BANG!

what about that Anton? And we don't care about a 'hollywood effect' we just want to be able to belly land man!

Mappable controls is all I ask, the rest of the game is perfect in my opinion.

Also, would it be possible to keep the same camera when you get shot down rather than a zoom out?

its just one of those features that makes the game that much better

If you pull off an amazing belly landing after being damaged badly , only to explode into flames after minimal damage . it ruins immersion.

this was a NORMAL landing , and it was WAY over reactive

i suggest just turning down the damage at low speeds

Your wing was broken.
You wouldn't be able to takeoff. It is not over-reactive. It is exactly what I am telling.

This explosions achieves two goals:
- adds more Holywood style action (especially if you one, who hit target, not the one who landed).
- gives more visual for MP - more time you see enemy explosion, not just landed.

people in single player are going to land at the end of the mission

so they are not taking off anyway

And for multiplayer a landing where the pilot survives due to a good skill landing should not count as a "suicide" or an enemy kill assist. if he crashes and survives let him respawn and keep his point for a good landing.
