WOHOOO !!! found the famous "last trick" 
FsX don't allow "belly landing" without gear, it crash anyway ("crash" splash, end of game)
So I had to find a workaround, 4 days of hard work. It should be refined and adapted to "production"
but the trick worked first time one hour ago...
Wow, this one WAS hard ...
"belly landing" was one neat feature of FsP04, landing gear are one of the main point that can fail and you can't make a good landing
failure if the sim crash as soon as you touch ground or if your perform a good belly landing (sometime there is a delay), it would be frustrating. So this was an absolute requirment for FsPX.
FsP never send a failure that you can't sort out with good abilities, it's even one of the main point, you get point to sort out bad situations.
