I was coming into KINL after a 4 hour flight from California (I've been inspired to attempt a flight around the world). Nice, calm night with just a few knots of crosswind. Greased the landing, nice and soft. Taxied off the runway and went into the instant replay to review. Nice and soft. Went back to my aircraft, taxied a few feet, and the left gear collapsed from under me! "Left gear assembly is shot!; Both upper and lower locks are broken on your left gear". Miraculously the prop did not strike the ground (though visually it appears to, the sim did not recognize it as such), and I was able to shut down the engine with no problems.
There was no reported wear prior to the flight, except for some worn brakes on that side, I extended the gear well below the safe speed, and did not hear an unsafe gear alarm until the collapse occurred. Now, there was a small amount of side load during touchdown because of the crosswind and my sloppy correction due to a twist-stick rudder, but I've done a lot worse in the past with no problems and I'm not sure if Accusim accounts for that sort of thing anyway. So my only other hypothesis is that the transition from replay to real-time somehow registered as a hard landing, and the gear failed as a result...KINL does not appear to have any repair services, so I guess I'm going to have to call my mechanic from all the way back home to come rescue me!
Thoughts?
