Failure System

[zuru]

Hi Pete,

I would like to know if u have plans to add a Failure system on your module? I know we can set it via fs, but would be good if it happened ocasionally with a very low probability of happen.

The way it is used if FS now, you choose where you want the failure and after you click ok, its happens.

With this system, i think it would be more natural/real. I dont know if i make myself clear. Did u get my point?

Sorry for my bad english.

Regards

Zuru

Well, I don't have any plans at all to provide any applications, as such. My speciality is in interfacing programs written by clever folks, with more imagination than me, to FS -- to try to provide them with all that they need to realise their aims.

There have, for past versions of FS, been programs which do induce failures or emergencies in a posssibly more realistic manner than the default system. For FS2004 I know of FSPassengers, which gets up to all sorts of tricks, and I think there are packages associated with specific aircraft. There may be many others available (sorry, I don't get about so much these days).

I'm sure that there will be more packages available in the future which do the sorts of things you propose, and more. Of course, with FSX arriving at the end of the year we may yet be in for surprises from Microsoft themselves in this area!

Regards,

Pete
