Hello,

Are there any utility addons which progressively degrade performance from wear and tear, hard landings, overrunning engines or bad piloting stressing the airframe, etc.?

Thanks.

Most of those types of utilities are built into a payware aircraft, like PMDG has a ton of maintenance issues and certain things can happen randomly during a flight.  FS Passengers has it built into their program too.  Of course, P3D and FSX have realism settings too.  If you have the most realistic settings, anything could happen could happen on a flight but I turn it all off as I don't want to experience an engine going out or the landing gear not going up or down or a wing falling off if I put too much stress on it.

Hi Jim,

Thanks for the reply. The reason for delaying my response is I just saw your comment.

Take care.

A2A aircraft suffer wear & tear.

You had better do your walk arounds to spot that aileron with the broken bushing.

Change your oil, and do not foul the plugs.

 

 

Hi Zatoichi - Thanks for the heads-up.

A2A makes an add-on called Accufeel which will add noises & bumps to generic aircraft, but the wear & tear aspect is not modeled.

 

Here's an excellent review from Mutley.

Thank you Zatoichi - Oops! I forgot to specify I am using only FS9. FSX/P3D bogs my PC down to slideshows. I know FS9 has limitations, but 70-300 fps allows for the minutia of subtle control inputs which are not possible at low fps.

Take care.
