As a co-developer of this system I participated actively in the discussion on the benefits of activating the max realism and crash detection on FS, so I'm glad to see that many people agree with the existence of such a tool, that can be used in a way of helping pilots to improve their skills.
What we do is to use what FS has as an option, and it should be looked as it is: an option more in our VA.
I already crashed 2 aircrafts in 3 PP flights, so, today I made a long flight LHBP-LPPT, out of PP, and got my hours added to my rank, had 2 penalties in local ACARS that I allways read during and after flying, and more important, got experienced with the aircraft and had much fun.
It's not the fact that I cannot report a fight in PP that will make me stop flying; I can allways fly as much as I want.
I repeat: PP isn't taking anything out of pilots, in the contrary, it's a new option.
Have fun and try to go up in the rank in PP.
