Systems Failures

Hello, @asmith10488!

While I don’t believe there are any immediate plans to implement maintenance failures, you’re in luck as there are a few feature requests that cover this. I’ve linked them below for your convenience.

Emergencies in IF

So, how this would work is a random generator would produce a value, and ceartain values would do emergencies such as medical emergency, technical failure etc. and there would be a command such as “New York Departure, Cactus 1549 declaring an emergency, diverting to the Hudson River.” A way to make sure no emergencies during a long flight, there cannot be an emergency while VNAV/LNAV is on

Surprise Component Failures (Engine, Gear etc.)

⬇️ Please read before you comment :) ⬇️ It would be pretty cool, and it would definitely add to the realism if we would be able to have the option to set possible failures for our flight, such as engine failures / fires, none / not all landing gear comes down, bird strike, water landing, and much much more… I know what you’re going to say… “You can just shut an engine off or not bring the gear down.” While that is true, it would be more exciting for us pilots if the events happen at a random t…

3D structures are added to airports with the help of individuals chosen by Infinite Flight. This lessens the time the developers need to spend on that, opening up the opportunity for new things. So, you never know. 😁
