You can turn that off (or increase frequency) in the configuration tool, but I like the random simulated engine fires and brake failures.

I did have to dispense with the windshear alert though. It drove me crazy on every approach and takeoff.

Congratulations Michael! Welcome to the 'elite'. The beauty of three engines is that it flies about the same way as it does on two.

That marks the third engine fire I have had with the Dreamfleet bird. The two previous ones were both in No.2, and were close to the destination. This one was No.1, and just into Wyoming on KSEA-KATL. The bird was quite heavy on takeoff (172,000), so I decided to set it down in Omaha. Even after emptying the No.3 fuel tank and leaving the No.1 tank off, it required a good bit of trim to keep the wings level.

Thank you Matthew. At first I felt as if I were betraying the beloved Maddog, but the 727 has a mystic allure. wink

Did you ever get the Lago Maddog sorted out?
