I flew for a while with crash settings off. As I was first learning to use the AoA indicator to land, I thought it was better to bounce then wait for a reset. Now, in order to better my skills, I turned the crash settings and full realism on, and I only land with a full tank of gas. I bury my rear gear into the ground 30% of the time, but its the only way to really improve your skills and understand how to properly fly the jet.
