Landing Gear Failure?

Just thought that it would be really cool if your landing gear could fail, you would then HAVE to perform a belly landing. What do you guys think?

If we could do belly landings that would be cool.

i managed to pull one off today on a field during the Red Cliffs Of Dover Mission, i was on simulator setting, with a gaping whole on my left wing causing me to slump to one side. The plane was loosing fuel, so i thought i might as well try

. the only thing that went wrong was that my propeller broke :L. You just have to keep enough speed so that you aren't dropping rapidly and then skim the ground carefully to stop

Was there fuel spraying from your wing? And was your fuel gauge dropping?

fuel was spraying from my wing, but i didn't check the gauge, i could feel the plane dropping though. I reckon that i should make a video of a belly landing to show you guys

I didn't know fuel would spray, it would also be cool if the gauge did indeed drop.
Videos are always welcome.

Do it with that briliant music that would be awesome! a view from outside would be nice xD

I don't know if your landing gear can fail, but I know you can break them off if you hit the ground while they are coming out(that's if you wish to keep flying without landing gear).
