Engine explodes when startin/shutting down with more than 15m/s wind

[Anatoli-Kagari9]

From this thread, and attached trk and mis files it's appears that there may be some bug with the engine / prop models and probably other components of the p51d systems, causing it to explode when trying to start / stop the engine with winds above 14-15m/s, under certain circumstances. Around this lower values an aileron can be lost, a wing, etc... At 19m/s the airplane simply explodes when you crank the engine on start, or if you shut it down.

 

Yet, I should point out that I only faced the problem when I use the track or mission attached to that thread, and until now was unable to reproduce it even at much higher wind values at ground level!!! It's strange :-/

Ok, some more findings:

 

1) It really appears that this problem only happens when the wind component is strong and from near 6'clock

 

2) On the supplied mission and track, if we request ground power, strangely the engine does not explode
