Famous scenarios

A great addition to the game would be scenarios of real world cases where pilots saved planes with incredible airmaship. Would be a lot of fun to test ourselves to see how we would react and if would be able to save the planes or not. It does not have to be scored. The only objective would be to land or take off (based on the scenario).
A couple of those I have in mind are:

  • US Airways Flight 1549 (Sully)

  • Olympic airways flight 411 (if you don’t know go watch Mentour Pilot’s video, even Boeing said the plane should have crashed based on their simulations and yet the pilot saved it)

  • Air Canada Flight 143 (Gimli Glider)

  • TACA flight 110

These are a couple of examples. If the plane that was in the scenario is not available in the game then the plane that most resembles the one from the story should be used.

I only included scenarios where planes were saved. It could also be scenarios where the pilots didn’t manage to save the plane. Depends on what people would actually want.

If anyone remembers more scenarios don’t be affraid to comment :slight_smile:

Oh, that’s an excellent idea!
Take my vote I’m totally on board for story-driven missions.

Your suggestions are good. If I’m honest, even a remake of the FS X missions would be enough for me.
Oh man, that brings back memories. I would love to go back to Denali Base Camp, the rocket launch or the Maya Temple at the Amazon. Or chasing UFOs over Area 51…
I’d be glad if that was reintroduced.
I like the career mode, but a bit of storytelling would be great.

Thanks. I thought it could be fun to try. It would probably be easy for Asobo to make these scenarios.

I did try that with an airliner out of Laguardia.
But having your aircraft bounce down the Hudson, means I didn’t get it right…

Well, I have no idea about game development or -design, but if I remember correctly in FS X it was just predetermined way points, a few radio messages and some additional assets here and there. So I think it could be done with relatively little effort.

But let’s let them fix all the bugs first. Unfortunately, I don’t think we can expect story missions any time soon. :worried:

You can simulate failiures so it would basicaly be spawning you at a certain point with the damage and waypoints. Or have the failiure accur while you’re controling the plane.
