[Bug 201844] Re: plane gets stuck to ground when crashes in flightgear

[Mike]

This isn't a bug. Crashes are not simulated. Read the FAQ at the
FlightGear site.

http://www.flightgear.org/Docs/FAQ.shtml#5.8

"Stuck upside down after "crash"?

In his infinite wisdom the FlightGear Grand Master decided that planes
were to valuable to allow them to be destroyed by novice pilots who
seemed to crash a lot. The fact that nobody has bothered to model
crashes may have something to do with it too. :-)

The result of this as you have noticed is that with a little practice an
ingenuity you can trim the ship to fly inverted along the ground.

The quick answer is to hit Ctrl+U (with the default key bindings) to
warp the plane up 1000ft.

For the stubborn people out there: The trick to learn is to roll back to
normal (non inverted) do this by nursing the elevator to get to about
500 feet or so and use the ailerons to snap roll 180*. This is all good
avionics except for the plane not destroying itself. Remember the
controls work in reverse when you are inverted and keep that airspeed
up!!!"
