ctguy1955 Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 I only seem to have this problem in Mission Editor and I start the mission in the air. My electrical (guns light) and engine just shuts off. I did a repair that took all night long, and the problem still is happening. Also I set up for the Dora against the spitfire and now I cant hit the F2 key and view other Dora's and then change into the other planes. I would appreciate any help I can get with this Thank You Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctguy1955 Posted January 26, 2017 Author Share Posted January 26, 2017 (edited) Well I was just on multiplayer, and I took off and did not get very far, and the engine shut off again. This has never happened before and because I did a repair I dont understand what the heck is going on. HELP I just tried open alpha, and no problem there, Only open beta sure has me stumped Edited January 26, 2017 by ctguy1955 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cthulhu68 Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Not sure if it's overheating or something else but I had a lot of issues with FW and P51 engines konking out too. I think they don't like sustained wide open throttle. Now I usually pull back on throttle a little and have a lot less engine problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brigg Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 make sure you have all your circuit breakers clicked on. Also make sure you turn the wep on before going full throttle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctguy1955 Posted January 27, 2017 Author Share Posted January 27, 2017 When I start up myself, I may not do everything that may be needed with radiator or some other things, but if You use the left win home, it does everything for You. I do not turn on WEP before going full throttle, but this stopping of electrical or motor happens even when I throttle back to half. It does not happen at all in Nevada Testing Range either ! Thank You all for some hints and tips !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razo+r Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 tell us more how does it sounds like when the engine dies? normal or like stuttering? are temps ok? have you pre-heated the engine? water and oil temps? magnetos on? fuel pumps on and fuel valves open?

Art-J Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Well, he wouldn't take off with disabled magnetos, pumps and valves, would he? Nor fly at all after air-start. Agree however, that the description doesn't say much. I wouldn't mind watching a saved track with this happening. Preferably the offline, air-start one (they seem to save and play more reliably). Then we could investigate. i7 9700K @ stock speed, single GTX1070, 32 gigs of RAM, TH Warthog, MFG Crosswind, Win10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whisper Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 make sure you have all your circuit breakers clicked on. Also make sure you turn the wep on before going full throttle. Full throttle is 3250 RPM and is stated for 30 minutes ok in the manual. Only 3 minutes with WEP engaged. Why is it a requirement to turn it on? I only put it on when I need extra power.

mkiii Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Assuming that it isn't just overheating or some other finger trouble, I had a similar problem in the spit a while back. What was happening seemed to be related to the Headtracker device turning off bug. Sometimes some USB related glitch would turn off both mags, which were mapped to switches on my throttle! The only indication was that the switches had moved, and if caught in time, they could just be turned back on, so it isn't beyond the realms of possibility that this IS a magneto related problem (sort of).
