Is there a way of setting up something that gives random failures, but in a way where i'm not having to tell it to do so before each flight?

 

It takes the excitement of a failure away for me when i have to tell the plane that i want it to fail before each flight. I would like something that lets me set something like the percentage likelihood of a failure occuring. At the moment in the iFly all i can do is tell it i want a random, guaranteed failure, which means i know one is coming.

 

Is there an addon or way of letting me set something so there's a chance that 1 in 50 flights there could be an engine fire etc?

There's a free add-on somewhere called FS Failure or something similar. If you can't locate it, drop me a PM and I'll mail it to you.  In addition, if you own FS Passengers, or FSCaptain, a random failure rate (%) can be configured. I think Ideal Flight does something similar too.

FSCaptain can do randomized failures, but I haven't experienced one yet. They appear to have an interface for the iFly.
