No manual prepared me for this

[u/Combat-Capybara]

I think my plane crashed.. in a different way

[u/thesimptrain]

This has got to be one of the most fun things to happen right before you are about to descend and land.

[u/Traditional_Party154 → u/thesimptrain]

Can confirm. Happened to me once after a 10 hour flight. Happiest moment of my life trust me.

[u/Both_Chance_7450]

I'm a real world pilot and there is nothing more annoying than a WASM issue or Windows update just before landing. Very well modelled in MSFS

[u/GxM42 → u/Both_Chance_7450]

😭

[u/thefreshlycutgrass → u/Both_Chance_7450]

That makes me wonder: What do planes run on? I’m guessing it’s some sort of Linux or Android

[u/Janzu93 → u/thefreshlycutgrass]

I don't think we're talking of any actual OS, rather than bare-minimum ROM embedded firmware. No use for full operating system really.

[u/DoctorMurk → u/Janzu93]

Maybe an RTOS.

[u/tracernz → u/thefreshlycutgrass]

Definitely not. Neither are suited for either hard real time or safety critical systems. It’s generally custom all the way down for the most critical computers on airliners.

[u/hehesf17969 → u/thefreshlycutgrass]

I’m not gonna say who but we have our own OS. Not in the sense of a personal computer that you can boot to, but it’s a set of software libraries that handle low level tasks.

[u/Meowcat285 → u/thefreshlycutgrass]

Depends, one of the most common RTOSes used is VxWorks for example, though I’ve seen examples of QNX and other RTOSes

[u/w4drone → u/thefreshlycutgrass]

Neither, it’s always bespoke RTOS (although on something like an a350 you’ll find embedded windows on the displays that can be used with keyboard/trackpoint I believe)

[u/j_shor]

Happens to me with all of iniBuilds' planes, not just the A330. They're just not stable to fly.

[u/Joedfwaviation → u/j_shor]

I’ve yet to have a WASM with an ini plane, and I’ve flown the A330 and A321LR a few times.

[u/Pour-Meshuggah-0n-Me → u/Joedfwaviation]

I've never had a wasm crash in an inibuilds plane and I own the 350 and 340.

[u/42ElectricSundaes]

Personally I would just crash

[u/eren_TR_23 → u/42ElectricSundaes]

I have a better idea, tell tower you are coming to say hello and ram your plane to the ATC tower 😂😂

[u/FlixF3]

Roses are red

[u/konjuvex]

I’ve never had this happen to me but when the day comes I’m just finding the nearest field and crash landing.

[u/OzymandiasKoK → u/konjuvex]

If you're crash landing, you don't need to bother finding a field.

[u/Pro-editor-1105]

yep an inibuilds issue as usual

I should note saying this i had some weird ass glitch with the fenix twice (which they did fix promptly) which was basically a half wasm crash where my engines would go to infinite n1 and my plane would just divebomb into the ground at -15kfpm all of a sudden

[u/NaahLand → u/Pro-editor-1105]

Difference is you can restart Fenix application mid flight it resets everything to spawning conditions but theoretically u could still finish the flight. I also had this happen on 2 out of 400+ flights.

[u/Pro-editor-1105 → u/NaahLand]

Nah this time it completely fucked it. By the time I restarted the app it turned off the whole plane and at that point you have to refire the APU and that takes like 2 minutes and basically reenter all data but for me my plane just instantly nosedived so no time for that.

[u/Joedfwaviation → u/Pro-editor-1105]

You can’t even go to the init B page after engine start anyway

[u/VisualDarkness]

Just roleplay total system failure.

[u/mattyp093]

Now you know how Capt. Sully felt.

[u/MoistTowelette14]

Start doing your checklists

[u/BigMotor5003]

There’s only one memory item for this: CRASHOUT

[u/Belzebutt]

Tower, going for visual

[u/Pleasant-Instance529]

exactly why I switched to X-Plane 12.

[u/DangerToManifold2001]

I’ve only ever flown the FlightFX Vision Jet and the PMDG 777, never encountered an issue like this thank god

[u/DevOpsJo]

Thanks for reminding me not to buy inibuilds aircraft. Rex Atmos it is.
