Hi all,

I was doing one of my favorite short IFR flights in FSX (loved it in FS9 as well ;) ), from Sion to Nice Cote d'Azur, with direct GPS route. The trip started very nicely, I went up to my cruise altitude (18.000 feet) and enjoyed the panorama:

Unfortenately, half way, not far away from Torino, all my instruments shut down !

No the engines... correct?

you hit the avionics switch off or generators or battery ...who knows ,humidity on the keyboard, you accidentaly hit the 3 keys to shut it off, A ghost  :-?...who knows ;D!! or simply computer went nuts...
Man I have seen things that the person who said that computer never mistakes , was insane...I can't tell here because no buddy would believe me..

Anything can happens in the Twight Light FSX Zone! tada da da da ta da da da   ;D

Did you activate any failures?

No failures at all, I never use this feature anyway.

Alrot, the engine were fine, just like the external lights. In fact, I was looking outside from the window, and suddently the plane started to bank... the autopilot was gone, and then I realized that all the other systems too. I checked all the switches on the overhead panel, everything was active, batteries, generators etc... I was about to try an emergency landing, but I tried the CRTL+E before, just to test, and it worked.

I have just tried again with the fantastic Comet jetliner, and I had no issue at all... excepted that I could not activate the ILS on final, neither from the VC or the 2D panels. I need to RTFM a little bit I think :P
