missing info Engine Degraded

[NineLine]

Yeah if you see anything like that send me a track so I can review, we have tuned failures a little, but it isnt released yet, should be next open beta I think.

It has gotten better. Last I was home I managed to use WEP and the engine held up, the next sortie I did a similar run but slightly closed the oil cowl to just open of neutral to set cruise power and a few minutes later I got a 'degraded engine when I get home again ill see what I can do about a track. Doesnt seem to happen if I just leave the oil full open. 

Not sure what's going on as i can and do regularly run at 2750 64" until the water tank is dry. Pilots were also trained to use it like this as well as with doses of 5min intervals. Hell if oil temp and carb temp are good i have even run her at 70" for brief spells of about of a minute (well until my bottle goes ). Tbh the only quibble i have with her engine at the mo is the sensitivity in dives, but its not anything that cant be managed. Aso are you warming the engine enough but also how are you warming the engine?

One thing that was a real problem during the war for the USAAF and which was the real reason for the implementation of the interlink for the boost and the throttle, was pilots killng the 47s engine by retarding the throttle lever before the boost lever. IF YOU DONT INTERLINK DO NOT RETARD THE THROTTLE LEVER PAST THE BOOST LEVER. ALWAYS BOOST FIRST

I got home and ran the latest update 2.7.16.28157 and have had no problems now unless I intentionally abuse the engine to breaking. I have been running WEP for dogfights and cruising afterwards with no issues. I ran the tracks that I had previously recorded the issue on and the engine ran fine the entire time, which it didn't previously do so and I got the "engine degraded" failure.

As a side note, I noticed I can run the oil cooler a lot more closer to neutral as well and the oil temperature more readily/believably stays in the green even at combat power, it seemed previously to be more arbitrarily linked to airspeed and not power settings and airspeeds and I had to run the oil cooler more open all the time even at lower power settings....it might just be a placebo effect or the fact i missed a couple of updates being gone for a while.

So hopefully this is one bug that has been squashed. Thanks for looking into it! The P-47 is by far my favorite warbird in the sim.

@Lixma 06 your oil temperature ran away.

this happens to me also the oil temp only runs away after the engine is degraded

or when oil cooler isn't open

If you think you are seeing an issue send me a track, thanks!
