Crashing and starting again

A crash in the sim costs nothing. In this tutorial, you throw the plane with the nose down, so that it crashes. Then you pick it up again.

  1. Hold W to push the nose down, and at the same time press 5 for full throttle.

    The plane hits the ground, and the HUD says CRASHED with the reason and "Press R to reset".
