Engine Problems

[Gadreel]

I manage to break the engine of the Dora almost everytime I fly in multiplayer. The propeller just stops in midflight and the engine is of. Restarting it in flight does not work.

I do the warmup procedure lieke this: 1000-1200rpm until 40° oil temperature. Then 1800-2000rpm until oil is at about 100°. Takeoff at full power, then 3000rpm for climbing, 2700 rpm for cruising. I´ve read some advice in this forum, so I try not to move the throttle suddenly. I try not to decrease throttle when diving.

I have a x56 throttle, which when you do not move it the throttle in the aircraft moves anyway a little bit. Might that be a problem? I´m getting pretty frustrated, because I like the aircraft and I do not know what I´m doing wrong.

What do you mean "track"?

A replay track you can save after exiting the mission. If you do so, It will be stored in C:\Users\[username]\Saved Games\DCS\Tracks.

If it's not a too big file, you can post it as an attachment to your message.

 

That being said, there has been something iffy going on with Dora Engine since a couple of game versions ago, so it may or may not be your fault:

This is happening to me also.. Twice now since the update today

Thanks for the Info. I didn´t know, that you can save a replay of the multiplayer session. I hope the problem gets fixed, or there are at least reliable infos how to handle the plane to keep the engine running.

Tracks are automatically saved in MP. Just check your track folder.

Problem seems gone now. 10+ hours flying and not once did the engine fail. Bought the Spitfire at the curent sale, think I´m gone leave the Dora for some time.

Na it's not gone.

[Gadreel]

I didn´t fly the Dora anymore. I tried the Spitfire (bought at Sale) but went back to Bf109. I think it´d easier as a beginner. But I hope they fix the Dora. I like thet plane a lot.

@Gadreel attach a track please. I fly the Dora since release and I never had an engine failure out of the blue

[Gadreel]

I watched some videos about tracks and what to do witch them. Then I wanted to find a track where my engine failed, but that replay thing takes ages. I couldn´t find a track where my engine is failing before I got too annoyed because I spent more than one hour . Next time I save the track seperatly when something important happens.
