Dang!! My conspiracy theory is losing credibility by the minute.

Wait a minute. Maybe Keith found a hack to control those settings too..?! It's a madhouse I tell you. A madhouse.

A great idea i guess!
How often do you indend to use the failures on the ordinary pilots who just fly-the-evening?

Nothing's going to happen to any retail customers unless they have opted in for failures, should this feature ever become available for retail subscriptions. The frequency of failures hasn't yet been determined.

...but in general, I think a frequency of no more than nine per flight is reasonable, with not more than three serious failures below 250' AGL after departure, and no more than two complete electrical system failures during IMC approaches to minimums. Except maybe on full moons, where it could be worse.
