Stickler Posted Thursday at 09:04 PM Posted Thursday at 09:04 PM According to RL flight manual, a utility hydraulic system or double generator failure renders the variable bypass bellmouth and auxiliary air doors inoperative. Operation of an engine with an open variable bypass bellmouth and closed auxiliary air doors will allow engine compartment secondary air to recirculate to the engine inlet. During low altitude or ground operation, the temperature of the recirculating air may be high enough to initiate T2 reset. As seen in the attached track on the EFB engine page, switching off both generators after a hot spawn with the corresponding closure of the auxiliary air doors does not cause T2 to increase (T2 remained at OAT = 50°C for 3 minutes, I did not continue the test afterwards), and therefore T2 reset does not occur. Even though the game manual does not mention T2 reset/auto-acceleration as a possible malfunction, I was expecting auto-acceleration due to malfunctioning auxiliary air doors to be implemented since T2 reset due to high-speed flight seems to be accurately modelled. If auto-acceleration is intended to be modelled I recommend to check for a bug here; if it is not intended to be modelled, consideration should be given to model the effect as a low-priority item. no_auto_acceleration.trk
