Most embarassing FS Moment

[JonARNZ]

Hmm, well recently I was doing some flying for a VA in britain, got IFR clearance and proceded to set up my autopilot with altitude, speed etc as you do. Then hit all the right buttons so I could turn autopilot on and everything would engage once I was airborne.

It turned out the autothrottle on the panel I was using engages independtly of the autopilot, so wonderd what the hell was going on on engine start, naturally the engines were spooling up and providing enough thrust to maintain 250 knots, I only needed 15 to taxi, wiped out most of exeter's terminal, left large gouge marks on the grass areas while I wrestled the bronco beneath me trying to figure things out. Luckily the Acars report sent at flight end mentioned nothing of my irregular start.

Ive done alot of flying on fs9 but this flight I had today definetely was the most embarrasing ive ever had.
I started a fspax flight operating NZ17 NZWN to NZAA in the FFX 737-300 (Air NZ). I taxied to the active rwy 34 and proceded to await atc takeoff confirmation, I looked at the little fspax gauge to notice that the passengers were at 100% satisfaction and that they were enjoying the ambience music I had playing whilst we were taxiing. In a moment of dumness I got the clerence and proceded to roll down the runway, After hearing V1 I pulled up and then proceded to set the flaps to 0, and to retract the gear, however I was going too fast and both the gear and flaps froze, I got up to 6000 ft and headed up to NZOH to preform a belly landing.......this did not work, 56 dead, 37 injured and flight crew killed, not a very good day at the office.............whoops

that reminds me, is it possible to succesfully do a belly landing in fs without it saying you crashed?

Isnt landing on your belly a crash?

You can in some aircraft ok, my herc does it fine...but once you stop you often "sink" into the ground.

The RealAir Spitfire almost begs you to try a wheels-up landing, sparks, smoke, noise, very dramatic.
But overdo it slightly and it definitely qualifies as a crash!
