Putzing along in an instant action mission, just before landing...

[greyseal494]

right engine catches on fire...

 

I can't figure what I did wrong there....

[razo+r]

It's probably the birds setting.

[Flappie]

I agree.

@greyseal494 Ensure this setting is set to 0%:

[greyseal494]

would you see the bird on a replay?

[Hammer1-1]

probably... even better, do birds register on the events page as hits or are they just events?

No, they are invisible. 

And the seagulls you sea on the shores have no collision model.

Good question. I'll try it out.

EDIT: All I see in the debrief log is this:

		[5] = {
			["event_id"] = 8,
			["failure"] = "r_engine",
			["failureDisplayName"] = "R-ENGINE",
			["initiatorMissionID"] = "1",
			["initiatorPilotName"] = "New callsign",
			["initiator_coalition"] = 2,
			["initiator_object_id"] = 16777472,
			["initiator_unit_type"] = "A-10A",
			["initiator_ws_type1"] = 1,
			["linked_event_id"] = 0,
			["t"] = 100,
			["type"] = "failure",

 

		[4] = {
			["event_id"] = 6,
			["failure"] = "r_engine",
			["failureDisplayName"] = "R-ENGINE",
			["initiatorMissionID"] = "1",
			["initiatorPilotName"] = "Su-25T",
			["initiator_coalition"] = 1,
			["initiator_object_id"] = 16777472,
			["initiator_unit_type"] = "Su-25T",
			["initiator_ws_type1"] = 1,
			["linked_event_id"] = 0,
			["t"] = 25,
			["type"] = "failure",
		},

guessing now would be an appropriate time to ask for this to be a feature? Id certainly like to know if I flew into a flock of birds instead of thinking I found a bug and cant find any other evidence of engine failure...

I'm not even sure anyone uses that bird strike feature intentionally.

I am. Never had any strikes
to my knowledge though.

Same here, I keep it at 100% all the time...

Just a FYI, the actual chances of birds being encountered is much lower. That 100% gets re-factored. At 100%, the chance is 0.95%.

glad to know that now, why would they do that? Ive worked many a bird strike at airports, its a fairly common occurrence.

That is odd. I'm having engine failures on takeoff or landing very quickly when I set the slider to the max (it reads "1000").

I keep it at 100%, not maxed all the way out. You're at 1000%.

[Flappie]

Oh, so it's really a percentage, then. I see, thanks.

I do. Always set at 100, which is default realistic value. For about 600 flight hours I had maybe 1-2 bird strikes.

+1 for some visual representation wish.
