Failures in MP

[Ala12Rv-Birdman]

I know It's been mentioned before, but for it not to fall into oblivion it'd be great to have the system failures implementation working in MP!

You might be able to acbieve this if you manually manipulate the random failures system in such a way that it only triggers the specific failures you want. 

Of course a dedicated option would be great but maybe this workaround can be used until ED finally implements it.

I can’t see why this matters. If the failure rate for systems in DCS is realistic, the chance of this happening is so low it’s rather irrelevant. For the modern western aircraft I’m sure a pilot could fly thousands of hours without an engine or major system failure. Considering this is a combat environment the vast vast majority of failures will be due to that and not random.

No sir. When you make an aircraft CLIENT or PLAYER on a MP mission, you lose all those options.

Which is why I said you have to manually edit the random failures. 

You can open the mission.lua (within the .miz file) and in there you have access to all the failures and settings.

For instance to make MP missions simulating some specific emergency situations to practice how to deal with them.

Real pilots have simulator sessions to practice how to react on emergencies.

On DCS you can only implement something like this on SP missions, so far.

Ok, but I mean to get full control over all the system failures and not to have them random.

In SP missions you can control exactly when, where and how you want an specific failure to occur. It's great for practicing some emergency procedures.

On MP there's no way to implement something like that.

Well that’s something different than the options setting in the sim right now which afaik just does random failures.

The way I proposed you can control what failure, what probability and at what time it should fail like you would in SP mission. You just need to do it manually. The picture above as an example.

Agreed, we need this as wells as failures both big and small for aircraft that don't have them.

Yes thanks. But that's not precise enough for the kind of missions I want to edit. Only having the time factor on a MP scenario is almost useless.

In SP you can control when to trigger certain failures when someone for example enters an area, or does an specific action, or even you can make them happen via COMMs menu when you thing it's the appropiate moment. That's what I'm wishing to have in MP.

That already exist but most servers turn that off cuz people dont like it.

Thanks, but I didn't mean to request random failures. I know they already exist on MP.

I was asking about triggering specific failures on an exact moment, just like you can do when creating a SP mission.
