[[File:787-failures.jpeg|300px|thumb|Boeing 787-8 Failure Simulator]]
The aircraft has a built-in failure simulation dialog where you can get different systems to fail in different ways. The failure simulation dialog can do the following:
*Flame-out any of the engines
*Fail any of the engines
*Set any of the engines on fire
*Burst any of the Wheel Tyres
*Have a gear unit ''break-off''
*Stuck a gear unit in it's current position
*Fail individual hydraulic systems
*Overheat any of the hydraulic or fuel pumps
*Fault any of the hydraulic or fuel pumps
Other general failures like Electrical, Static etc. have not been implemented in this dialog as they can already be controlled with FlightGear's Generic System Failures dialog.
''NOTE: When you flame-out an engine, it can be restarted, but not in the case of a failure. Faults just means that the pump is too hot to function, but it can be restarted when cooled.''
