Looks like the Dash-8 fiascos in Europe have brought out even the creative gaming programers. There is a Danish website that has created a game poking fun at the Dash-8 gear collapses. Can you land a Dash-8 with lame gear? It isn’t in english, but the controls are self-explainatory.

True to Danish humor, even a perfect landing results in a gear collapse. I guess the point is supposed to be “God” pilots can’t even land the Dash-8 without bending it.

This could prove to be devastating for a very promising next-generation turboprop program.
