kelpie Posted March 21, 2018 Posted March 21, 2018 (edited) Ok, ignoring the not-so-great takeoff, After the second to last update to DCS 2.5 I can't keep the 109 flying for more than a minute or 2 before the engine suddenly stops. There's no warning, all the gauges seem to indicate that there's no problems. Suddenly the plane bounces, the engine goes dead, and then the coolant temp gauge suddenly jumps to just over the top arrow. It makes no sense to me and I've flown the 109 well for a month prior to the update and I am doing nothing different. Can someone take a look at the track and tell me what I'm doing wrong or if there's a bug that is causing this? I have no trouble at all with the 190 or the 51D. Just the 109. Update: I noticed that something similar happens when going down the runway and the right rudder is pressed even slightly. The plane suddenly dips right and the engine stops with no way to restart it and no damage to be repaired when the ground crew is called.bf109 engine failure.trk Edited March 21, 2018 by kelpie Modules: Owned: P-51D, F/A-18C, AJS-37, NTTR, F-5E, M-2000C, Bf 109, Fw 190 D-9, F-86F, Mig-15Bis, A-10C, Combined Arms, Mi-8Mtv2, UH-1H, Black Shark 2, Mig-21Bis, FC3, F-14A/B, Mig-19, Spitfire, JF-17, Persian Gulf Would Like to See: Mig-29K, Su-24, Mig-25, J-8II, J-10 , Tornado __________________ Specifications: Windows 10 64Bit, i7-7700K 4.2Ghz, GTX 1080, 16Gb RAM, T.flight Stick X

kelpie Posted March 21, 2018 Author Posted March 21, 2018 I didn't watch the track, but, did you make sure you set the prop pitch governor to ON and the radiators to Open or Auto? The radiator was set to Auto but the pitch governor could very well be the problem. I'll need to test it out when I get back home. ;) Modules: Owned: P-51D, F/A-18C, AJS-37, NTTR, F-5E, M-2000C, Bf 109, Fw 190 D-9, F-86F, Mig-15Bis, A-10C, Combined Arms, Mi-8Mtv2, UH-1H, Black Shark 2, Mig-21Bis, FC3, F-14A/B, Mig-19, Spitfire, JF-17, Persian Gulf Would Like to See: Mig-29K, Su-24, Mig-25, J-8II, J-10 , Tornado __________________ Specifications: Windows 10 64Bit, i7-7700K 4.2Ghz, GTX 1080, 16Gb RAM, T.flight Stick X
kelpie Posted March 21, 2018 Author Posted March 21, 2018 The problem was definitely the governor switch. I had it set to manual instead of automatic. Well, case closed. :P Thanks, amazingme. I probably wouldn't have caught it if you didn't mention it.

LeCuvier Posted March 21, 2018 Posted March 21, 2018 After engine start-up it's good practice to check that the engine governor is working. When you rev up the engine, you should see the needle on the prop pitch indicator move. That's the instrument at the right of the dashboard with a clock-like dial, marked "Luftschraube/Stellungsanzeige" LeCuvier Windows 10 Pro 64Bit | i7-4790 CPU |16 GB RAM|SSD System Disk|SSD Gaming Disk| MSI GTX-1080 Gaming 8 GB| Acer XB270HU | TM Warthog HOTAS | VKB Gladiator Pro | MongoosT-50 | MFG Crosswind Pedals | TrackIR 5
