Hi, A smart man from poland scripted a very nice failure management for use in 1.9.0 and CVS. I tested it and it works great. He put his code in the forum, and I think it is worth enough not only to have a look into than comitting it into CVS! Here you go: http://www.flightgear.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1784&st=0&sk=t&sd=a I would like to see that in FGFS soon, that's something really missing in FGFS.
