I was thinking this morning that since I have been flying the PMDG 737, I have done quite well in flying this aircraft. Hand flying ILS approaches with low ceilings are pretty easy for me at this point and it has been quite a while simce I have had any type of accident. Then I remembered the "Failure Mode" in the PMDG menu,, and I realized that I don't have anything set to fail in that menu. Obviously this would generate some suspence in flying the 737, but I am wondering what types of failures and what frequency would generate a fairly realistic failure rate on the PMDG. Any suggestions from people that have the failure mode turned on as to what you use, and find realistic.

It would appear that nobody else flying the PMDG want's anything going wrong either. :)

Well me personally, I like to emulate what is seen more often in the RW such as engine failure at takeoff. I also like to have one engine failure during flight and use the FMC engine out function to manually control the flight performance. Best Wishes,[h4]Randy J.
