Hi Lee,
I think you must have switched your landing lights
off below a thousand feet in your panic. Easily done when the world is falling apart around you.
Feel free to use the same aircraft again mate. It will be fixed when you select it next

Well bless my soul!!
Engine failure (LH) Viking AHOR.. 99.4% enroute Northolt - Jersey. No diversion.. aircraft and pax arrived safely EGJJ. In fact, my pax are disappointed if they
don't get a failure of one sort or another!! :roll:
Off to see if I can break a Trislander now!!
Incidentally.. that was a FlyNET 'pat on the back' for completing my 400th flight!

Viscount BFZL EGNX-EGJJ. Main gear failure.The model doesn't recognise the hand pump, therefore I had to either go for it or abandon the flight. Unfortunately despite a decent touch (or should that be scrape ) down, the sim did its usual and the aeroplane is still not at rest; tossing and turning on the golf course at Les Mielles. Flynet hasn't recognised the flight is finished, however it has pointed out that I switched the landing lamps off when killing the electrics
Nice one. Not.
Cheers

:shock: :shock: :shock:
Wild one for sure Fraser. I keep thinking every next flight I'm going to get one too as it's been a fortnight now. Knowing my luck, it'll be in the already uncontrollable Trislander

Just wondering if Flynet works in sequence - One of our guys had a gear failure last night in a 1-11 - (That was at 99.7%) maybe in just goes around anyone whose is flying in a specific time band and hands out gear failures, engine failures etc etc

Could be Leif :think: Anyone had a flap failure yet?? Having had a main gear failure and what seems like a zillion engine failures, surely I must be up for a flap failure at some point!!

Might just add my loss of engine No 1. the other night, but GK WAS down in the low neighbourhood of 93%

GADZOOKS Dan :shock: Might be cheaper to scrap it and get a new one (or sell it off to the RAF)

Quadruple engine Failure - G-APES
Making my last leg, FlyNET failed 2 engines and draining the fuel from those tanks ended up with all engines failing. Loaded 7000 KG of fuel, FlyNET shows I burned 7000, but I've never seen a Vanguard burn that much fuel in 2 hours of flight.
