With 3rd party aircraft manufactures pushing the boundaries all the time some of my more complexed aircraft have their own failure system implemented that doesn't always play well with FSCaptian. I don't really want to eliminate this feature for all my aircraft but I would like the ability to turn it off for a specific aircraft.

We can do that!
In years past, we would look at both the "overall failure percentage" as well as the aircraft's "Reliability percentage" and if either of those values gave us a chance to fail something... we took it.
But a few years ago we changed the logic - now you need to both enable the overall failure percentage and to have a reliability percentage that's not "100.0".
So if you want us to keep our hands off of a specific aircraft, just set its reliability percentage to "100.0".
The Aircraft Configuration tab displays "%%.%" as the input mask for reliability, but it will accept "100.0" - I've changed the label in 1.8.2 so there's no doubt.
Best,

I've also reworded the area of the User Guide to reflect these long-ago changes. To recap, if your general failure percentage is 1.4% and you have an aircraft with 95.0% reliability, we take the "more optimistic" value for each flight.
Just remember that "reliability" is the inverse of "unreliability" - 95.0% reliability is 5.0% unreliability. So a 1.4% general failure rate against a 5.0% aircraft unreliability rate would leave us with a 1.4% chance of a failure in that aircraft. A 1.4% general failure rate against a 0.0% aircraft unreliability would leave us with a 0.0% chance of a failure in that aircraft. Best, |
