Automatic Mission Fail when Generators/Battery failure is stupid. Change It Please

ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue:
If you take off with busted generators in career mode, eventually batteries die.
As soon as avionics file the mission ends with FAIL.

This is ■■■■■■■■ behavior and needs to be changed, we should be allowed to continue flying without working avionics and be allowed to attempt a landing to save our plane, before aborting the mission.

By automatically failing our mission, you are crashing a plane that is still flyable - instead of automatically being slammed with a hefty repair bill.

THE PLANE IS STILL FLYABLE, SO DO NOT FAIL THE MISSION AUTOMATICALLY WHEN AVIONICS SHUT OFF.

When this happens, we should be allowed to search for a place to land and save the plane.

FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

How often does this occur for you (Example: Just once, every time on sim load, intermittently)?

Always.

REPRODUCTION STEPS

Please list clear steps you took in order to help our test team reproduce the same issue:

1.Fly C208 or other plane in career mode when you have failed generators mid flight
2. Let battery volts deplete until glass cocpit fails.
3. Mission fails instantly and we are stuck with a crashed plane.

Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:

If relevant, provide additional screenshots/video:

A plane without Avionics doesnt just fall out of the sky - its still flyable and you can still land the thing if you are able to visually locate a runway - especially under VFR conditions.

Hell - you can still land on a dirt road somewhere.

You still have a working engine and controls. Just no electonics.

A C208 doesnt just “crash” when the G1000 or other electonics stops because you have no battery.

So if you are implying “dead battery == unrecoverable aircraft”, you are clearly dead wrong.
