A few years ago it wasn't uncommon for a plane to land at 200+ mph with the GEAR UP and then skid to a stop.  Hi-Tech changed it on the next patch to crash if you're doing more than like 120 mph on a gear up landing to prevent this from happening.

Also 120 for a big airliner is a bit different than 120 for a small single seater...
Jet vs prop? I think jet is going a bit faster than a prop plane don't you think?

I'm saying which does more damage, a prop plane or a jet? Jet wins the vote by far

Does more damage to what? itself? the pilot? the runway?

Who cares, in a damaged plane you want to basically  aerodynamically stall about 2cm from the ground, piper cub or 747

Belly landing on water and/or cement with both give you damage somewhere near a close airspeed. You hit the wing on the water, it rips off and drags you into the water, you hit the wing on cement, it rips off and drags you in with into the ground.

Ok, now first look above at fugitives post.

Secondly, is there any possible way you could be further from th original post and still talking about aeroplanes? Put the longneck down and take Fugitive's adviced :salute

Well obviously this game is NOT up to your high standards. My suggestion is you just hang on to your $15 a month and cancel your subscription. The game will never be "right" for you so just save yourself a bunch of aggravation and sign off now.

Good luck in what ever you do.
I'm asking for HTC to fix the simplest bugs/errors that are happening right now

What bugs and errors?
That you can't crash into the floor at 200 mph without being dead?

Can you hear the grinding noises of undercarriage at approaching 200 mph? they are about to tear of. Imagine what;s gonna happen if they touch something denser than air? Such as... er the floor
