In an interview with David Kaemmer in PC Gamer UK last year if i remember
correctly, he said that there was no extra programming to make the accidents
more spectacular. They just came for free because of the physichs model.
About chrashes, I think it is great if they are spectacular, but not if it is
of the expence of the rest of the sim.
Why had noone have the guts to model deformation/disintegration of the tub
itself? Image hitting the bridge at Monza head on and just see the white noise,
At the replay the car would be rather flat i guess. Or in a CART sim if the
sidepod just disappears. But again, not at the expence of the sim itself, and
chrashes like this would require enormous calculations of the car's structure.
