EGT during hover taxi

[bkthunder]

I know that engine damage due to high temp. is not modeled, but is the EGT temperature realistic or is it also not modeled correctly?

I am asking because in a mission with ambient temperature of +20, my EGT is more than 700 just to hover taxi at 20 kts at 5 ft. Empty chopper with 70% fuel.

Or that at least is the consensus among people more knowledgable than me; haven't done any measurements myself, but was merely summarizing what I've heard and seen elsewhere.

Thanks for the info, hopefully they will correct this sooner rather than later, considering that correct engine modeling and damage is one of the main things that set the difference between simulation and game...

Indeed!
