Well this is new... PRI C/W

I clicked the next event to go to deorbit on STS-1 and this happened

I was under the impression that malfunctions were not modeled into the program.

FC3 stack temp was off scale high, so I shut it down and landed safely.

I had no idea that failures were simulated in SSM2007. I wonder what could have caused FC3 to do that.

Wow, of all the times I have flown a SSMS mission I have never seen a failure, I thought the whole process was 'on rails' so to speak.  Like I know you can shut the fuel cells down and get consequences but I didnt know things would actually fail on their own from normal use.

I thought there were no random failures built into the program and I would suspect that this isn't the result of a "random" failure but more likely the result of a pilot (astronaut) error.  Its been a while, but I recall being able to simulate some failures by incorrect procedures (ex. putting a switch in the wrong position).  There are some procedures that will halt the program if performed incorrectly.  However, I have found some incorrect procedures that will permit the program to continue and will result in a warning light/message.

i was following shutdown procedures on STS-27 (the LACROSSE mission) and I turned ON the coolant loops per the shutdown check list and got a Freon loop C/W
