InFlight Maintenance Issues - 5/25/2017 3:09:30 PM

Status: offline 		I'm working on trying to simulate an in-flight maintenance issue. Think engine problem, error code, something non-critical but still a RTB.

Is there any way to set the damage to the engine so it doesn't immediately fail? Even setting light damage drops it immediately. I know with twin engine planes they just use the other engine.

This is the script I'm using to test with : 
ScenEdit_SetUnitDamage({side="Opfor", unitname="JAS 39C Gripen", fires=0, components={{"F404-GE-400 RM.12 #1","Light"}}})


Which gives this immediately
quote:

1:50:09 PM - 1:50:09 PM - JAS 39C Gripen has been destroyed!
1:50:09 PM - 1:50:09 PM - JAS 39C Gripen (JAS 39C Gripen) has no functioning engines and is being abandoned!


Ideally it'd see some light engine damage and limp home.

We could refine this but it would take a fair bit of research on delivered thrust vs damage level.

Couldn't it just be a generic 25% per level, ie Light = 25% less thrust, Medium = 50%, etc.?

OK! I'll get creative and just change the speed or some such thing. Thanks!
