Has anyone else run into this?
I just landed at LOWW on rwy 29, which is made of "Bitumus", rather than concrete.. and it over stressed the a/c resulting in a "crash", though the landing was -94fpm at 155kts .. smooth in my book.
Does anyone know of a fix for this? (beyong turning "detect crashes and damage" off? )
This sort of thing can be imbarracing when it happens on VATSIM
Bitumus runways... smooth landings that crash

This issue has been discussed here before, do a search to find it (not because we are too lazy to answer an already answered question but because I don't remember the details ). In that other discussion I think there's a list of airports that have the bituminous runway if I remember correctly. As Mike stated, the best way to fix it is to use AFCAD to open the airport and change the runway surface. I think to make the rwy looks the same, select it as asphalt...but i could be wrong.
