I love what you folks have done in FSPassengers, and Im confident that it was a worthy purchase. I, however, had one concern I was hoping some of you
might be able to provide more feedback on.
For enthusiast reasons, I am currently operating in FsPassengers emulating Iraqi Airways. You might recall an ongoing conflict there over the past
few years? Well, Iraqi Airlines operates between Baghdad and Amman primarily with a few smaller routes in between. The problem I'm encountering
is... well, to be quite frank... getting shot down! I've updated the dangerous war areas cfg file to what I feel represents the current war scenario
in a place like Bagdad, but I have yet to depart ORBS without sustaining serious damage from anti-aircraft and small arms fire. In reality, yes,
there is a threat. However, even the 4 Iraqi Airlines pilots currently flying will admit that you don't get shot at EVERY time you land or takeoff.
It's just an ever-present threat that occasionally surfaces, almost like rolling the dice.
My problem isn't conflicts or even danger. My problem is that FsPassengers seems to rate dangerous war areas almost as "The percentage of how much
you'll get hit" vs. the more realistic "chance of being hit at all, and then the level of severity when it occurs." Turn down the war percentage in
the config file, and you get shot at less... but you still get shot up.
Ideas? Solutions?

The A330 rotates at 8° or less because tail strike occurs at 9°. Not common, but there are "exceptions" to everything.![[Image: 101031.png]](http://status.ivao.aero/101031.png)
