Partial panel is also a reason to land at the first opportunity.

I've never played with VATSIM, so here's a question you might be
qualified to answer......Can you play with partial panel emergencies
on VATSIM. That might actually be kinda fun.


VATSIM allows emergencies within reason. You can declare an emergency, but
unlike real life, ATC has the option to decline the emergency if it is too
busy to handle it. The reason for this rule is that some pilots would tend to
declare emergencies excessively otherwise. As it is, total engine failures
are suspiciously more common on the network than in real life. But most
people behave.

What happens if you do not follow their instructions?

Do they have a virtual destruct button to remove you from their airspace?

You can be disciplined, which can include a suspension or ban from the network
for serious offenses.

No, although that has been discussed.
