Engine stops working after minutes of flying [Resolved]

Post by DAVID_wI » Sun Nov 14, 2021 11:18 am

Hi Guys

After flying for 2 or 3 minutes, the engine stops working and it can't be started in air.(P3D V4)

Thanks, David

The engine can be damaged from hot starts or pushing it too hard(firewalling the throttle) . Have you run the MVAMS as an admin and reset the engine wear?

1) Can't see any Engine wear in the MVAMS, thanks
2) Managed to fly with less stress on the engine and now it flies fine :D

Here is where you restore the engine. If the state is too bad it will likely fail.

You are showing the PC-6 not the DHC-3 Turbo Otter :oops:

Long day lol, sorry about the confusion. Our turbine modeling is similar across several products. The engine repair was in the 350i and PC-6, not the DHC-3T :oops:
