No, most modern flight sims refuse to implement them because they don't want to be branded a 9/11 simulator when someone would inevitably make a youtube video of them crashing into buildings.

Also the ones that use real planes have licensing from manufacturers to deal with, who don't want their planes portrayed being destroyed (similar to limited damage modelling in modern driving games with licensed cars).

You'll want a combat sim.



it’s not implemented because it’s a lot of work and doesn’t add to training value.

The time would be better spent on improving damage models
