Suddenly my daughter asked me to help her in toilet. I hurried up and helped her. Back to the queen that was just passing transition alt at 9850ft. Fixed all things and all was good. Closing in to FL110 and an error message came up. Dont remember exactly what it said, but started to check controls. What can it be.I think there was a warning siren also. I could not find anything. I had not turned on error, so I started to wonder if I discovered a bug.

Continued through FL150 and soon it reported that oxygen mask was released. I though "Ok, what am I doing since I try to kill all passengers?". Looked at FMC to check on doors. But all doors was closed and locked. What the h..l was going on. Went back to checklist and checked on all to find out what went wrong. Then I found it. Because my daughter interrupted me, I forgot to turn on packs after takeoff. The big bug was me (as it often is). Quickly turned on the packs and got to practice a return to Shanghai. In my mind I could see all ambulances waiting for my arrival.

And this is exactly why I don't have kids. Stuff like that can't happen. And my parents (or at least, my mom, anyway) know better than to try to interrupt me in flight. By this point, my mom's figured out that if I'm at home and I don't answer the phone, I'm probably flying (I have my phone on silent, so I can't hear it anyway).

There's always the Pause button.  I realize it disrupts the immersion -- my daughter was half-grown when I got into flight simulation, but I did have a dog that often accompanied me on the "flight deck" but sometimes needed immediate attention.

There is one message in the fuel system that has ten minutes of delay on it to make sure it isn't just reactive to a transient condition in the center wing tank.  I forget which one it was off the top of my head- but it is there...

 

NO WINGS PRESENT FOR FUEL
