Mohamengina Posted September 7, 2019 Posted September 7, 2019 Just did a mission where I was full throttle at about 30-35 thousand feet the whole time. After about 20 minutes I had a significant decrease in engine power and had the oil and eng exc light come up. Does the engine crap itself if you use high RPM for too long?

Mohamengina Posted September 7, 2019 Author Posted September 7, 2019 Good to know - thanks. What's the best way to use engine power to get the most out of the plane without it crapping itself?
ricktoberfest Posted September 7, 2019 Posted September 7, 2019 Good to know - thanks. What's the best way to use engine power to get the most out of the plane without it crapping itself? Keep the exhaust temp below 645 as much as possible. That’s essentially max sustained.

Harlikwin Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 It would be nice if we could get some "bad engine sounds" or maybe some sort of haptic feedback, I assume it might make those.

Canadus Posted September 10, 2019 Posted September 10, 2019 It would be nice if we could get some "bad engine sounds" or maybe some sort of haptic feedback, I assume it might make those. I would assume, that there are no bad engine sounds or much of a sort of haptic in the real aircraft. You push the engine too much and raise that exhause temp for too long, you will just kill the engine, that`s it. :D Ryzen 5800XD - 32GB RAM - Sapphire RX 7900 XTX - VKB Stuff + MFG Crosswind Pedals Homebase: Southwest Germany
Harlikwin Posted September 10, 2019 Posted September 10, 2019 Based on what whats been written about harrier engine failures, there were usually clues, excessive vibration, a bang, stuff like that.

vstolmech513 Posted September 12, 2019 Posted September 12, 2019 Hearing anything in the cockpit above the 'whine' of the engine is near impossible. The effect the massive LP Fan has in creating a frequency that is close to the most annoying sound in the world can't be understood unless you are near it at high RPMs. Most pilots 'feel' a thumping in their back or bucking of the plane more than anything. Those are generally the typical feedback we would get, and usually indicated some sort of compressor stall or sometimes a stuck open/closed Blowoff Valve (BOV).
BEHill75 Posted January 25, 2020 Posted January 25, 2020 ... or sometimes a stuck open/closed Blowoff Valve (BOV). Ugh, I hated rebuilding the BOV's. Never could find the tester so we would just pucker up and give her a good hard suck or blow. If the valve opened and closed with mere lung power, she was good to go. If you did your job, it would be clean and you wouldn't get a chunk of old gasket when you sucked on her.
