How's your engine in 2.9.9?

[Tea-Pig]

I just updated from 2.9.6 to 2.9.9 and was hopeful for a fix for the apparently long standing Dora engine random failure issue. The changelog for 2.9.8 claims:

• Fixed: Random engine failures (adjustments to oil system)

and in a recent thread here @NineLine said:

"This should be fixed now, thanks. "

Out of three flights, two ended in spurious engine failure in the usual fashion: oil suddenly overheats and engine dies. So alas, no apparent change for me. How is everyone else doing?

Please post tracks.

 

So far i didnt have had engine failures in the same way it was before.

Usually mine broke even cruising at 2500 and then increasing throttle.

 

Combat overheat can happen if you fly below 300kph at full power for too long.

I think I perhaps see my issue. In a hot start or air start mission, when I first spawn into the cockpit the MW50 circuit breaker is on, but when I click the 'Fly' button to begin the mission the breaker immediately pops out. So I fly believing MW50 is engaged but it's actually disabled, hence the engine failures. I'm surprised I didn't notice immediately, but I think the engine sound has been tweaked a bit so this might have masked it. Since noticing this and pushing the circuit breaker back in at mission start I haven't had any unexplained failures.

Feeling hopeful.

Not feeling hopeful now. Another failure and track attached. The failure event starts just about 10 seconds into the track. The rear fuel tank light flashes and there is a momentary drop in engine RPM. The oil temperature immediately starts to climb and engine is toasted shortly after.
