Neither the best movie nor the best RPG could offer such a level of immersion.
Now you're speaking my language! While there are many users who tell me they couldn't care less about the failure features in an aircraft, they have provided me with some of my most memorable simulator experiences. Even a simple item, like the "Cabin Door" annunciator lighting up on short final in IMC, as if just to spook you, is such a delight to me.
While I have received your comments about aerodynamics and engine performance, I would still encourage you not to overlook the failure rate slider as your source of enjoyment for the Caravan. I very much understand your point, but at least in my estimation, a propeller governor failure or fuel control failure would be a much more entertaining and challenging experience than an engine routinely running a few degrees hotter due to its imagined age. Just my opinion, however!
