If my understanding is right.. to decrease the probability of the failure.. I have to increase the hours in which the failure should occur right? I think.. I am right. If that is the case..then thats all I want.Manny

>I'd also like to see something like this implemented, along>with some failures triggered by pilot actions (exceeding load>limits, landing hard, icing, etc.)Right on!:-) Or how about the engine temperature get excessively high in the default Cessna Skylane when you climb at maximum rate and at full power on a hot day with cowl flaps closed.:( I tried this in FS9 and nothing remarkable happened. Now I would'nt want to try that in a real Skylane!Regards,Mark.

OK, then just engine fires, then :)>>>>...over revving the engine once will not produce a failure>>(highly, highly, unlikely).>>Even in a jet (taking the needles into the red zones)??I don't know for sure, but I would suspect that an on board computer governor would prevent anyone from trying to bury the needles into the red zone. :D

So if you leave it there for long enough, something bad should happen, I would think...

Howdy,>For FSFailure V2.0 its never bothered my preformance at all. >Anyway try and install FSFail like normal and see if it give>you any errors.

FSFailure calls to FSUIPC to monitor the system failure(s); however, it has no registery key for FSUIPC v.3.+ and so is read as an unrecognised programme (at least as far as the unregistered version of FSUIPC is concerned).Enquiring minds would really like to know. TIA.

try fspassengers thats my favorite - a tad pricey but i love it, you can actaully dectect a fault sometimes even when you do your runup, you can get bird strikes and tons of other stuff, its amazing, it takes the complacency out of flying a fltsim.ciao!Brian S
