Turn off aircraft damage?

[dbw11]

Greetings. I sometimes crash on landing and then have to either go through the repairing process or start a new airframe. Is there a way to turn damage off? Many thanks.

I'm afraid not.  It has been designed as a real world, wear and tear add on.  But look on the bright side. Eventually, you'll get much better at your landings.

It is a great aircraft. I find it a little on the sensitive side for landing especially in pitch.......and then bang.

This is a definite trait of the aircraft.  Maybe reduce your curves slightly.

Thanks for your patience....Is there any way to make it less sensitive to crashes. I just did a landing i know* would be fine in the real world but once again it burst into flame. *Retired 40 year pilot.

It's difficult to know what caused the crash, or how hard your landing was, without seeing a replay.  

I've seen streamers land it quite hard, and there was little to no damage.  

We have no control over the damage/crash limits of the add on.  This is all handled by X-Plane itself.  

If you can provide accurate data, feel free to contact Laminar and they can perhaps look into it and include it in X-Plane 12.

Thanks for your reply. I realize you are under pressure from the Avsim CL650 forum. I can assure you I am not driving the tbm  into the ground when landing. Maybe I can see if I have a previous version of it stored, blow this one off, and try it. I've hardly flown the tbm since the last update for this reason.
