SmirkingGerbil Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 Yup, can think of only one time it actually did something in a singleplayer mission. EAC in the A-10C would not engage, no matter how many checklists and items I went back through on. Possibly just user error though. Pointy end hurt! Fire burn!! JTF-191 25th Draggins - Hawg Main.

QuiGon Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 System failures unfortunately don't work in MP (unless you have taken damage) and because I'm flying 99% MP I don't fly with system failures.

kengou Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 I haven't tried it yet. My gaming time is limited so I think it would be frustrating to fly half a mission or do a 10 minute cold start only to find a critical system failure means I have to abort and RTB. If I had more free time to play, I would love to try it out for the realism and procedure aspect though.

Pikey Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 System failures unfortunately don't work in MP (unless you have taken damage) and because I'm flying 99% MP I don't fly with system failures. this The very occasional SP I do is testing, which would be counterproductive to have a failure in for the test im doing, unless im testing failures, which im not, because I test for MP only. Bring it on for MP and I'm there. Give me the scripting API's to open a whole new world in MP.

SC86 Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 yes, though nothing usually seems to work, don't know if it happens in multiplayer, looks like someone said it doesn't

Tippis Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 No — even if I wanted to, they're not available in MP or missions designed for it (even if run in SP). ❧ ❧ Inside you are two wolves. One cannot land; the other shoots friendlies. You are a Goon. ❧ ❧
statrekmike Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 If I could set random failures in multiplayer missions, I absolutely would every time. I like the idea of using the failures as a incentive to do the proper checks and learn the emergency procedures.
Mars Exulte Posted October 10, 2019 Posted October 10, 2019 Yes, always, however it rarely actually comes up (as it should be). Just gives you an incentive to actually glance over your instruments and run some tests. Which you should do anyway because you never know when your stick will stop working.

Kid18120 Posted October 10, 2019 Posted October 10, 2019 I don't use the random failures simply because although they are random, they happen every single mission you fly [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Simming since 2005 My Rig: Gigabyte X470 Aorus Ultra Gaming, AMD Ryzen7 2700X, G.Skill RipJaws 32GB DDR4-3200, EVGA RTX 2070 Super Black Gaming, Corsair HX850
Mars Exulte Posted October 10, 2019 Posted October 10, 2019 Every mission? I've had it enabled for months at this point and haven't noticed even one failure that wasn't self inflicted (high speed impacts regretably cause a variety of system failures. I'm pretty sure ED just screwed the DM) Де вороги, знайдуться козаки їх перемогти. 5800x3d * 3090 * 64gb * Reverb G2
Tom Kazansky Posted October 10, 2019 Posted October 10, 2019 I like this thread/poll. I voted NO in the beginning caus I never used failures but all your answers made me curious and I guess I'll try next time when I get back into a cockpit.
MacEwan Posted October 11, 2019 Posted October 11, 2019 I only turn them on when I'm fully trained and comfortable with the aircraft. Basically when I know it inside out, have studied it in depth and know that I can handle any failures that may occur.
Harker Posted October 11, 2019 Posted October 11, 2019 I do. I'm not sure I've actually experienced any, though. I got a CHECK FLAPS advisory in the Hornet one time that wouldn't go away with an FCS Reset, but the flaps were working fine anyway. The vCVW-17 is looking for Hornet and Tomcat pilots and RIOs.

Shadow KT Posted October 13, 2019 Posted October 13, 2019 I do and I've seen them work in MP (CO-OP) They rarely occur tho. But most people wanna fly AC, but with a different name anyway ;) 'Shadow' Everybody gotta be offended and take it personally now-a-days
S. Low Posted October 13, 2019 Posted October 13, 2019 I have it on but I don't think I've ever experienced a random system failure after 169 hours of flight total in the UH-1H & F-14. I assumed it doesn't work, like the replay feature.
ApoNOOB Posted October 15, 2019 Posted October 15, 2019 I'd like some sandboxy option to trigger my personal failures ingame, that might be nice. If I just have it on in random missions, it's just going to end up to wreck my day from time to time, without any logic or purpose to it. Just "flew 50nm for XY not to work and limb back". In MP flying home with heavy damage is one of the most fun and challenging things to do in DCS, it might be fun to have more of that from time to time, but the system really doesn't allow for it to be made in a way that is fun with most missions.
