Ideas for failure generation ?

[japh]

Hi all.

I'm sorry if this isn't the right place to ask this, but if it isn't I honestly can't figure out a better one :)

I need ideas for inflight failuresand how to "create" them using (of course) FSUIPC.

I've already figured out how to simulate a fuel leak, gear and flap failure (although the gear and flap failures are still not quite "real": inhibiting only the usage doesn't sound 'right' ...) and engine failure (well, "shutdown" at least), but I want some moreso here I am asking for ideas :-)

P.S. - Peter, I hope that your trip to my neighbour country (I'm from Portugal) was fine :) Northen Spain ? I hope you had the chance to visit "Picos da Europa" (Asturias)pretty nice place ;-)

Regards,

There's are several "instructor station" packages which provide quite a lot of scope for these, and more of course. When it gets down to really technical failures you probably need to make them aircraft-specific.

The Lua plug-ins facility in FSUIPC provides a good opportunity to add a multitude of failure types, too, used with the FSUIPC offset lists.

My son lives near A Guardia, just north of Portugal. (He used to live in the middle of Madrid). Whilst this time I think we probably spent more time in Portugal, in fact, than Spain, as the bigger shops and more economical eating establishments are "over the border". We also visited the Port houses in Porto (we fly via Porto for convenience), and the National Park to the North East of Porto.

We spent a week walking in the Picos da Europa a few years ago, travelling from Madrid and stopping en route for wine-tasting in the Duero district.
