We need an option to disable 'Back on Track' after crash

Please provide an option to disable ‘Back on Track’ after a crash… Since I can find a bind to trigger this option, that seems to indicate that there was intent for it to be optional – But maybe it got left out by accident?

I certainly understand that some people might want this feature… I just want an option to disable it.

If you crash on ground you will teleport to the sky. This should be optional as well

There have been times with msfs 2020 it has been really annoying to crash and the flight ends especially laung hall or with On Air, but to be honest I agree it is getting really annoying and is actually really ruins the immersion knowing that whatever you do wrong the flight wont end.

I have bound keyboard buttons to enable/disable the feature but they dont work (certainly in world photography mode)

“Back on track” should be 100% optional. Period.

This is supposed to be a flight sim, not Android’s Aircraft Angels 4.

I think it is an improvement, but if making it optional does not mean killing the feature you have my vote.

Voted!

This definitely needs to be removed or an option to switch off.

This is a really bizarre and jarring way to handle crashes and definitely needs to be optional.

Or better yet, remove it altogether and go back to what we had: either you crash and your fight ends, or you bounce back into the air and keep going.

Firstly ‘back on track’ should be optional, disabled by default.
Secondly, if ‘back on track’ is disabled after the crash we should get free cam to admire our achievement.

Why should it be optional? , if you crash what would hold you to go back to main menu or restart flight ?

Perhaps on crash a menu could pop up offering either “back on track”, “restart flight”, “exit to main menu”?

I actually like the new “back on track” feature, it’s a good way to understand where the overstress limits of various aircraft are without having to restart the entire flight every time

Because it’s mainly supposed to be a sim, not a game.

And sims don’t work like that. Back On Track is a game feature. It can be useful for a simmer if they’re experimenting with stuff, but in most cases it’s not a desired feature. Otherwise people (even casual gamers) would have asked for it earlier instead of just disabling crash detection.

So yeah, this would be the ideal option:

We need a setting it you want this or not. And a state to ask the user at the moment you the want to be spawn back or not.

It should be optional because if I wanted to turn damage off, I could turn damage off.

Forcing “back on track” is effectively the exact same control as turning damage off, which I also do not do.

I see now, i vote for this now.

The crash behavior is so much better now, after 4 years of having it disabled because of its utter uselessness I leave it enabled… but still it should be optional to throw me back in the air.
I want to crash land… I am out of fuel or got engine damaged etc and I have spotted a difficult strip of land to land… let me land and see how it goes. If it goes wrong… I can press my self that key that “puts me back in the air”.

Yes. I hope this is added ASAP. Perhaps after crashing there can be a 10 second count allowing you to hit a key to “respawn” back in the air.
