If PMDG made a B787...

... would they simulate the battery fires by blowing up a few capacitors on our motherboards at random intervals?

 

Or simulate a cracked windscreen by blowing up your monitor.

I have heard rumors that the QualityWings 787 will cause these kinds of failures, this is why PMDG was smart and developed a 777 instead

About 6 weeks ago we had the windscreen spider on us in a 727 about 15 minutes out of CYVR. I was sitting in the jumpseat just about to fall asleep and heard a loud bang, maintence in YWG said the window heat failed. Gotta love the older 727's.

 

The flight a couple weeks before, same airplane, the autopilot tried to flip us inverted a bunch of times. Just snapped about 70 degrees to the right out of nowhere about 30 seconds after "aux nav" was selected every time. Heading hold would not work either it just kept rolling to the right. And this is supposed to be our "newest" 727, new to us anyway. Needless to say the airplane has some problems.

 

Last time it was here in Edmonton i had to help change a start valve on the #3 engine at -36c outside. That sure was fun, i just went out to see why they shut down..

Only a Japan livery addition causes the failures
