So, for all practicle purposes it is the same, but just looks more 'Hollywood-style'.

thanks for answering my question anton, i know me and a lot of people aRE happy to here this from you...thank this will rock

Here is the video, he claims he stole the version to play on his xbox.

I did bring that up in a thread a long time ago which later got locked for it was useless since he was lying. His name was GamerSuper. He was in that Russian thread and the last post I put in there was me pointing that out to him(in Russian).

This video was shot during Igromir 2008.

Yes, but if you read his video description he says he stole it along with another game. But we know this to be untrue. Just pointing it out.

Thanks for asking my question Anton. Will the plane always explode? For example, could you try and land without flaps (becuase they're damaged) come in to fast and have your undercart ripped off because of overspeed?

Of course, not.
It won't always explode even if you rip off wing, by hitting ground, just more likely.
And damaging flaps won't lead to explosion at all - you still can try to land.

So, will the damage model allow the wheels to be ripped off, so that when your aircraft eventually comes to a stop; you could leave your wheels some way back?

Cool.

Lol, can we still have our little guy(s) run out of a plane after a crash landing before it explodes?

Thanks Anton, for clearing that up. That was probably my only concern

*Thumbs up*
