[REPORTED] engine death from nowhere again

[Little_D]

Hi gents,

 

it looks like the engine death from nowhere is back. Had it now a cupple of times, that the temps where all ok, fly with 450Km/H go on full power with MW50 and 1 minute later engine is death. Before i only used MW50 for about

5 minutes in different dogfights and let the engine cool down with open rads till temps went down under normal. Put rads back on auto again and was flying for about 10 minutes befor start the next fight. Also the needle dident go over max from water, as it does it when it comes to oel or the 109. As the engine stops, the needle from water raised to over over max.

 

regards

we observed that mainly caused by aaa and spits. so it may has to do something with cannons?

Hi Fox Delta,

 

no, it was way out of AAA range or alt. Happens often too, as the Burning Skies server did had AAA on the map or over water at alts between 3 - 5 KM.

Its the same problem we had in 1.5 before with the 190.

ok.

flying ww2 just 3 months

,so i don t have that experience like you.

i trust u

 

they should fix that, now i have to change to the bf109, on which i have just a few hours and no combat experience nor air skills. damn i miss my dora:cry_2:

Yes, i have same problem with FW. 1) Engine die after first hit(in Multiplayer on BS server). 2) Strange sound.

Known problem for a long time. I just dont use mw50 almost at all (just once to run home). Just to be sure to get back home. =)

[zerO_crash]

I got no problems at all. Combat or not, auto cooling-flaps (why do you even run them open???). Must be on your side. Either you are not heating up the engine before taxi, or you are skipping out on something else. Are you running at too slow speed when at higher RPM (2500rpm+ at 300km/h-?).

 

Also, problem was never there before. It was people that didn`t do warmups before until the engine simulation was updated and requiring it. If you don´t preheat the engine, then it`s typical that it shows cool temperature shortly after takeoff and all of a sudden explodes with the needle for coolant temp shooting off scale.

I got no problems at all......

 

 

Confirmed. Even with MW50 usage (for about 1-2 minutes overall) I flew about 40 minutes without engine fails.

 

But I hate the 1 bullet hit and engine death.

 

Edit. Checked my Tacview records and found that I've got 5 hespana hits to my rear, but I cant imagine how the hell they can travel through the whole plane frame to engine.

Well 20mm bullets are no small beast, but I guess things will add up once we have the updated damage model :)

Maybe Dora's DM was "updated" to make it "compatible" with Mustang, which very often suffers from prop governor failure whatever else on the fuselage or wings gets hit :D.

LOL!. THIS.

 

We have been dealing with magic bullets that find the governor more than any other bit for years. POP POP VaROOOOOOOOM! Aaaaaaaaand, we're bailing out yet again.

 

The Dora shouldn't have to deal with this, no one should, but it is kinda funny.

 

The Stang gets no love.....

Is this bug reported because it's getting annoying. It seems related to the damage model though..

[NineLine]

Something is fishy with the Dora, I am looking into it, might be related to the MW50 issue. As well, the visual cues that your engine isnt happy are lacking... not to say it would tell you its about to explode every time... but I have to think certain conditions would produce smoke, oil or water discharge... anyways... any info, data etc you guys can give me with your reports will help (means the less flights I have to do to test every condition)

 

Also mention if you are online or not... may be something we dont see... Thanks guys.

PROJECTILES ?

 

maybe its caused by the type of projectile. SPIT cannon (more than obviously has something to do with it) and some FLAKs ????

that weired engine sound might be a symptome of an update in the A/C parameters/engine behaviour or so??? might have something to do with too.

it came with an update after the normandy release so it might helps to check what had been changed in the files since

[rogonaut]

random engine failures, one garand rifle bullet hits my wing and the engine dies, guns jamming whilst they shouldnt due unjammer mechanisim....

 

do something or at least tell us its reported! its barely flyable espacially in multiplayer!

[FoxDelta]

i hate this" one hit governor failure, second hit incarnation bug"

 

(for me happening online, against Spits, Sherman and Troopers, it doesnt ever happen against P51s for me)

 

is there an estimate for repair? and please don't tell me that a new DM is comming!!(i assume in 1 or 2 years)

The new DM will change how all this works, I imagine it will be different in the new DM. The new DM is currently in internal testing.
