Well it's kinda thought that way with the iar80, but this "oversight" in gear position calculation prevents other things from working corectly ;). There is a fake "gear" below the nose that detects prop strike and bends it, stopping the engine too. But the crash detection gets activated earlier, and all my work on that damage modelling doesn't get any screen time ;). (bent prop mainly). Further damage modelling will come with future versions...
