Randomly enable the built-in IXEG failures

Hello

I made this LUA-script for randomly enable the built-in IXEG failures.

The script enables the built-in IXEG failures + engine fire, engine failure and oil pumps.
Have your QRH ready.

Available failures by IXEG.

The script activates when your GroundSpeed is higher then 40 knots.

Settings: (edit the IXEG_Failures.lua)

-- Here you set if the failures should be default enabled or disabled when your starting up X-Plane.
-- Set true to enable failures, false to disable. Default is true. true and false have to be written with lowercase letters.
EnableFailures_WizVar = true

-- Mean time between failures (MTBF) is the predicted elapsed time between inherent failures of a system during operation.
-- Default is MTBF_hours = 20.0. See further down for of a example of MTBF set to 10 hours.
MTBF_hours = 20.0

-- Max simultaneous failures pr session
-- Default is Max_Failures = 2 -- The highest numbers of failures is 27 -- setting above this can crash x-plane
Max_Failures = 2

-- Set the level of failures you want.
-- 1 = Minor failures, 2 = Minor and Major failures, 3 Minor, Major and Critical failures.
FailureSeverity = 3

"ADVANCED OPTIONS"

-- Set 'ImminentFailure' to 1 to enable the imminent failure option. When this option is enabled you can trigger a imminent failure with setting the SERVICE INTERPHONE to ON position on the overhead panel.
-- The SERVICE INTERPHONE will switch back to OFF when a failure is triggered.
-- The 'ImminentFailureMTBF' (in minutes) is the MTBF used when you enable the 'ImminentFailure' and set the SERVICE INTERPHONE to on.

-- Default is 0.
ImminentFailure = 0
-- Default is 5 (in minutes)
ImminentFailureMTBF = 5

The Service Interphone switch

How to enable or disable failures (for the session) with FlywithLua menu.

MTBF:
This graph shows a example how often you can expect a failure when you set the MTBF to 10 hours.
