When Flight Simulator came out, my first thought was to see what would happen when you crashed the airplane. People would actually get upset as I would try to crash it. These were adults! They'd get so into the game they were afraid of crashing the imaginary airplane.

(It was a bit disappointing, it would only freeze the screen and draw a crack across it!)

If someone crashes out of curiosity what happens then I think that's cool, but I have had someone deliberately crash it as a way of annoying me which I found quite rude (i.e. the equivalent of pretending to be illiterate in response to being suggested a book to read).

DCS (a military flight simulator) does have damage models for the aircraft - (especially in VR) getting your wing shot off is very fun

Surely by 2021 there is the equivalent of Burnout for aviation games?
