rpm371, if you are not on pavement when you return to the tower you will "ditch". Succesfull landings must end on pavemnet and not grass.
cheers,

Were you on a runway when you exited?  You must be on a runway, taxiway, or the rearm pad when you exit, or else it is a ditch.  Simply taxi back onto one of the above if you happen to roll off during landing.  Simply landing within the field boundaries is not enough.

If you were on a runway, then I have no idea. I don't think anyone has every reported a problem with ditches messages while on a runway.

Yeah i had a problem with this a couple times a while ago.. Might of been fixed by now.

But i was in an Arado and i hit the throttle and hit .ef at the same time and got the ditch.  I didnt hit the throttle on purpose.. Accident, and Both of my tires were on the runway.  Has happened 2 or 3 times.
