It would be great if developers could access users' aircraft failure settings so that the user can decide the difficulty of the simulation and the number of aircraft failures that can occur. As of this moment, aircraft devs must either make the failures ignore the user's preferences (in this case, why have preferences at all?), or, make some sort of custom functionality within the cockpit to toggle the failures.
Apologies if this is already available, I haven't been able to find any information on the matter so far.
