failures will average 1 failure for 10 hrs of flight time.
(Example: 2 failures that occur 1 minute apart might be the only failures
you see during 20 hours in flight. As such, they fit the 1/10 failure rate.)
When setting a global rate for failure events, you are telling the simulator
to provide you with a random mixture of four different types of failures.
Minor, Nuisance, Severe and Transient failures will be randomly selected
at a frequency as described above.
Placing Limits On Failures:
You can place limits on the types of
failures you experience and the total number of events you might
experience during any given flight. To do this, you can set a failure rate
for each of the four types of failures (Minor, Nuisance, Severe or
Transient.)
For example, if you wished to eliminate all failures that are within the
severe category, you can do so by setting Random Failures active
individually in the Nuisance, Transient and Minor categories, while leaving
the Severe category inactive.
Additionally, if you wish to limit the total number of failures on any given
flight, you can do so by selecting the STOP AFTER checkbox, and enter
a number into the EVENTS FIRED window. For example, if you wished
to have a failure rate of 6 events / 10 hours of flight time, but only wanted
a maximum of 3 failures per any given flight, you can set this limitation by
using the STOP AFTER checkbox
