Other failures are only available when the helicopter is placed in “Timed Failures” mode as opposed to

“Cumulative Wear” mode, (which is set in the DodoSim 206 FSX Settings dialog, accessed from the

“Add-ons” menu.)

When in Cumulative Wear mode, pilot misuse causes wear and eventual failure of the engine, main and

tail transmission systems and simulated aircraft servicing and maintenance is required to correct them.

In Timed Failure mode, the pilot’s actions do not incur wear and failure, (therefore the helicopter

operates like default FSX aircraft in regard to failures), so failure of these systems is permissible via the

“Add-ons->DodoSim 206 FSX->Failures” dialog. When impermissible, these failures will be ghosted out

and non-selectable in the dialog window.

Clicking the Reset Failures icon resets all currently failed systems. (However, it will not automatically

restart a failed engine if the Gas Producer turbine (N1) has dropped below self-sustaining level of 58%.)
