FSX Aircraft 'failures'

[ZK-TJL]

Hi Team. FSX is still new.........yes it's been out for a while now.......but we are still learning lots about it.....It has come to my attention that some people aren't aware of the cool 'failures' that can add spice to any flight. Here's a few screenies of an RNZAF orion having a bad day!!!!!!!

Oil leak engine 1



That engine died not long after


Just as had feathered engine 1 and balanced the engines, engine 4 FIRE!!!





Play around with the 'failures'. There are a bunch of new ones found in FSX......They'll keep you on your toes.


(No orions were harmed in the making of these screen shots)

You can say that after running E1 out of oil??
And we're waiting for the other shoe to drop here...does the wingtip fall off or what??

[Zöltuger]

looks like auntie helen needs to give the fleet an upgrade

you can fail wing surfaces in x-plane, but not in FSX

I think the orion problems make it more realistic or Airforce doesn't work anyway

Nik , So thats what caused the fire on the "Nissen Maru" (whaling boat).... a HARPOON from your inventory , maybe the only 1 the RNZAF had , trouble is looks they upgrade'd there AntiAircraft maybe ?

That last Pic ... hav'nt seen a shot like that since maybe 1944/45

This looks like a job for the RNZAF strike force, ohh yeah we don't have one thanks to auntie Helen (or is it uncle Helen? who can tell)

Awesome pics there Nik, the failures look great.

Woa that stuffs sweet , though wouldn't they have to bin that engine after running out of oil?

Perhaps I could try scuttle him with flour bombs, out the main exit door. I don't think the life raft in the bomb bay would have quite the same effect.

Neat. Is that effect set part of FSX by default or do they come with the addon Orion?

[G-HEVN]

Thanks Nik, looks like some interesting ideas there. Must try them out sometime! B)

No, that's the great thing about it!!!!!!!!! These effects work on any plane/helo in FSX, default, addon..........whatever

here's a herc in trouble.......but these effects work on any aircraft

[Timmo]

Yeah ive noticed some of these failures....I keep having the nut holding the cyclic stick failing which causes me to crash my chopper

[omitchell]

Don't blame FSX guys, thats clearly Govt cut backs to blame
