And I think the modeling has it good when it comes to off-runway or off-field landings.

I disagree. I for one know that landing an aircraft on a random grassy field will certainly not have it bouncing around all over the place like Bobo the Clowns jumping castle. Likewise, landing an aircraft on sand will not achieve the same effect (there are numerous documented cases of aircraft outlanding on the hard, wet sand close to the waters edge and then successfully taking off again following repairs). In this instance I think the game got it very, very wrong.

However, you accurately state that this would require an FM edit which is a no go zone.
