Informal news... sort of "dev blog"... 
FsPassengers is the only addon since flight simulator 2004 to offer the possibility of "belling landing" (landing without wheel and sliding without crash) You can see it in this (old) video:
This "hack" is very complicated, I should find all the wheels in memory (dynamic) to control them directly, find the contact point, copy them on my own memory, deallocate the original, change the original pointer to my memory and redefine new "contact" point with ground.
I hope they didn't changed too much things for the V4 else it can take me several days (or worse).
The first step is the direct control of the wheels (so I can block one or all in any position).
Success (image below), and I cleaned the original code as well.
In reality landing gear failure is not uncommon, you can find a lot of video of real aircraft landing without one or more wheel on youtube:
