FSP can be soo cruel *lol*

One not so beautiful day I attempted to take my FeelThere 737-300 to a flight from london-luton zu germany. It was night, it was windy, and it was rainy.
Since the plane was 100 % loaded with 103 people on board and cargo, I used a lot of runway for takeoff and was lucky to make it in the air in time.

Then, about 500 ft AGL....

*BANG*

Flameout on Nr. 2, bird strike according to the end flight screen later. (why are birds flying in this crappy weather??? Get a job!)

This is where my trouble started, I called mayday and entered 7700 in the transponder. I really had some trouble to esablish a stable climb, with the
working engine on full power, I was loosing speed even in level flight and had to sink to gain speed, but since I only was at 1000 ft, this was not an
option.
I tried turning towards stansted, which was easier to reach without having to turn back to luton, and after a minute, I even saw the runway.

But I just kept sinking and sinking, regardless of what I tried, pulling up made mee too slow, and I could not afford to sink, until it was too late:
stall.

The aircraft crashed around 1000 ft short of the threshold into a suburban area. Main cause: failure of an engine right after takeoff, conributing
factors: bad weather, a broken flight model by feelthere, pilot error.

Of 103 people, 34 passengers survived unharmed after the plane hit the ground at around 1400 ft/m, unfortunately, my top pilot (c11) and the fight
crew were not among these.

and yes, instant record is on.

now all I have left is a c3-Pilot and an a**-load of planes no one can fly anymore.

have a nice day everyone

Well, you do get warned of the consequences when you turn instant-recording on

I'm pretty sure you had some very exciting moments before it ended with stall and crash, so instant-recording adds more adrenaline to it. But of
course, the outcome when you fail is a tough one to swallow

Did you make backups of the FSP database folder? In that case I think you can restore the pilot by copying the database folder and overwrite the
current one. Otherwise it's back to Cessna's and Mooney Bravo's again... (unless you choose not to do career thing).

[SoulFlight]

Of course I did make a backup some 10 flights earlier. but I just dont feel right applying that now. *lol*

Oh deary me, you obv' haven't read all the FAQs.... :P

[SoulFlight]

Why did I know mister Zulu would either tell us this has been happening and discussed before or post a link to the FAQ.

I'm not complaining, just telling a story. :-)

[whiskey-zulu]

Oh but there is something very nice in the FAQs, assuming you want your pilot back....

[SoulFlight]

I know, and i think one way or another, i will use that program the next days.

Then the simple solution is to re-download it

[SoulFlight]

I just did, still a bit more honest than making the whole thing undone. ;-)
