Mohamengina Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 I can't keep this thing flying for more than 20-30 minutes before my engines cut out and I lose all power. I keep an eye on the RPM meter to make sure it's not exceeding it's limits. Are there any other strategies to stop this from happening?
ricktoberfest Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 It sounds like you’re missing a step in startup. Like a fuel pump switch or generator switch or something. Or maybe you’re turning your engine rpm setting to emergency max and running out of gas. Without a track it’s hard to tell Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
FragBum Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 What about EGT? Control is an illusion which usually shatters at the least expected moment. Gazelle Mini-gun version is endorphins with rotors.

Mohamengina Posted January 21, 2019 Author Posted January 21, 2019 Tried to upload a track but said it failed the security check for some reason. I auto start the heli which you'd think would start it up correctly. I can hear the engine whimper as I'm flying around which may have something to do with it? The mission I'm flying is during winter so does the cold weather affect engine performance at all? I have rotor anti ice on.
MTFDarkEagle Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 Yes temperature can definitely have this effect. The aircraft not only has rotor anti-ice, it also has engine anti-ice. The switch is right next to it. It's a switch combined with the inlet anti-dust "filters". To be sure you can zip the trackfile and post it here.

FragBum Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 Ice build up on turbine intake turn the anti-icing heaters on. You'll slowly loose power until you fall out of the sky.

Mohamengina Posted January 21, 2019 Author Posted January 21, 2019 Tried it with anti ice on and don't have the issue anymore. Thanks for the help.

I had this problem even when flying carefully the BS, before I checked the malfunction percentage in the mission editor! I changed 100% to 0% and now I can enjoy this beast and finish my missions!
