As soon as you told you were down I flew back to you. Did a lowpass to see if everything was ok, saw no smoke so I flew at top speed back to the end of the hop. Next time I'll bring my rescue chopper.
Crash
PS I hope your simpit problem is fixed now.

Yeah I saw you go over. I waved.
Pit's fixed. If the problem had not happened exactly when it did, I likely could have fixed it enroute. Apparently long term vibration from the subwoofer vibrated a usb hub connection wire loose. Somehting was learned form the experience ( 8-) )........ I have to secure such connections against vibrations.
It was a rahter realistic failure for me...... much more than the fake timed stuff in the sim. Suddenly an important system is not working.... and I had to work with what I had left. Fun....in hindsight. At the time... it was sort of a shock.........which mirrors the "as real as it gets" bit pretty nicely.
Guess that is part of whay I built a simpit. ;)
best,
