Talk:Failure Manager

Backwards compatibilty

Things to consider:

- aircraft that depend on what is in the dialog today, and how it writes to serviceable properties and makes some properties read-only.

If we just remove all default failures, these aircraft, which might not be actively maintained, all of a sudden will lose all failure management, unless it is custom coded.

Maybe planes using the new system could set a property such as: <failure-system><version>2</version></failure-system> That would give the new system, with no predefined failures, and not specifying anything will give the old, with its predefined failures.

GUI instruments

The GUI contains instruments, such as radio, transponder, GPS, map etc.

Should these have a failure mode, or maybe an option inside the dialog to include them as failures? (not sure if any of them currently depend on any serviceable/read-only properties. Necolatis (talk) 22:18, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

Prototype dialog

I can make a prototype dialog, to show how I imagine the dialog to look, and then we can discuss it from there?

In my opinion there should only be 1 dialog, which includes failures, and setting random failures, instead of 3 dialogs, like today. That could be done with tabs. Necolatis (talk) 22:18, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
