Will the ability to get sucked into your own down-wash and crash killing all aboard be modelled?

Heritik accually if you were to drop troops from this a/c from a hover you would probably fastrope down from one of the a/c's three hell hole doors that are each equipt with cargo hooks (removable) and can carrie a howezer with its two 6150hp interconnecting rolls royce engines, but you could also drop them from high alt while in airplane mode out the rear hatch. this thing can also haul as much as a ch53 and more troops, i can say ive seen this a/c in action and the cockpit is as advanced as the f-18 superhornets:pmv-22 info (http://pma275.navair.navy.mil/)howezer (http://pma275.navair.navy.mil/images/gallery_4/V-22_Howitzer_loading.jpg)

a nice cockpit, yet the plane STILL has problems, apparently. :(

I agree that it's an amazing aircraft, but they have a really nasty habit of crashing.

ok but ask yourself this:
how many people died and how many crashes did ohh say the f4u's have compared to how many this a/c has, not saying the two are the same type a/c but the f4u's had bad problems with shipboard operations until the british refind the a/c for carrier use, guess what im saying is areonautics is a dangeruos field expecially with new designs. hell the marine version, the mv-22 is suppose to be takeing the place of the really old ch-46e's ive mecheniced on both, but look at the track record of the 46 when it first appered in NAM!!!
