| Question: | When to declare an emergency, avoid false emergencies? | | Answer: | Declaring an emergency when there is one during your FsP flight is a necessity to receive a bonus. If you do not declare the emergency, you will receive a penalty. You'll also be penalized if you declare a false emergency.
AVOID FALSE EMERGENCIES:
You must not use Fs2004's own failure system, as they are not detected by FsP.
Some advanced aircrafts such as PMDG have their own failure systems which are impossible for FsP to detect, so be sure to DISABLE the failures in such aircrafts. FsP have enough of them to please you. If you are not sure if a failure comes from the aircraft or from FsP see below:
DETECT AN EMERGENCY:
First if you hear the co-pilot saying something about a failure you can be sure it's an FsP failure, so declare emergency. If you are unsure it's a FSP failure, a good way to be 100% sure is to right click on the mini display, select 'display option' and check 'display failure warning icon'. It will show a green 'ok' or a warning icon on the mini display. Notice using this feature will reduce your failure bonus slightly (as you're supposed to detect them yourself) but at least it will avoid a lot of penalties if you declare a false emergency.
HIDDEN FAILURE:
The co-pilot doesn’t give any warning for the following failure: slow increase of oil temperature on engine and fuel leak. You are supposed to watch your instruments to detect them. If you don't want to be surprised by such failure see above the 'mini display failure icon'
