Just out of curiosity: What was the bird strike failure supposed to do?Mike Brown

Simulate a birdstrike...or make a nice holiday meal. :)http://www.b737.org.uk/birdstrike.htm

Heck I do not know hehe. Of course if this was a 777 such a failure would not exist! On the NG though I would venture to guess, depending on the size and quanity of birds being injested that it would cause a serious power loss on the effected engine if not a total failure...Best Wishes,[h4]Randy J.

It's no longer there? Man, I've never tried the failures (I have enough to handle flying normally), but I loved seeing the birdstrike feature in the list when the 600/700 first came out. I was like, "Man, this plane even simulates birdstrikes! Cool!". I expected it to either fail the right or left engine. Do any of the failures work?Speaking of failures, when are those guys gonna release that 767 that models failures so well?!?! I used to play with the failures in the original PIC and it was kinda fun. Never knew what to do though, LOL

Well engine failure at rotation worked for me a while back, I do believe the other failures do not work (please correct me if I am wrong)...Best Wishes,[h4]Randy J.
