What is your altitude in feet or Flight Level when the engine malfuntion happens ?
Depending of your altitude, you need to adjust the mixture. You cannot be at full mixture if you are flying high and this is most probably why your engine is losing power.
Same for me the Engine stops working after around 5 minutes in flight doesn’t matter what you do. Workaround since months is to de activate under realism setting the failures
Same here, finaly i found this thread. After a few minutes its over for the Engine. I can see an overstress in devmode → Debug → Wear and Tear. Piston_Engine goes down really fast. It shows an Overstress for no reasons.
I am having the exact same issue, the strange thing is my friend I fly with a lot has this aircraft and it does not have this problem, he can fly it for hours. We went over everything made sure our setting were identical and mine had this issue every flight but his does not. So this is not happening to everyone which is baffling.
What I believe is the issue is that a specific addon is overrides the planes cfg file. Much like the Lockheed Super Constellation will overwrite the AMS2000 Altitude Management and AS92 Radio. This would explain why the V35B engine blows on my sim but it works perfectly fine on my friends system. It will take a process of elimination to figure out SPECIFICALLY which aircraft addon that in interfearing with the V35B.
I found a FIX for this issue. Enable Dev mode, open the Package reorder tool. Uncheck only show scenery and scroll through the packages and find the V35B Bonanza. Move it DOWN on the tree, below ALL other aircraft, the lower on the Package order, the higher the priority the package is and just like magic the engine failing problem goes away. So what that means is that there is a 2024 aircraft that has a config file that was overwriting the V35B Bonanza and giving it those incredibly short wear and tear ratings before an engine malfunction. Which one, I do not know, I guess I could bump it down the list one aircraft at a time and use the process of elimination to find the guilty aircraft but that will have to wait…..I HAVE THE BONANZA BACK YEAH!!!
I fixed it, go into your package reorder tool and move the V35B Bonanza lower on the Package list, lower than any aircraft in the game and it will fix the aircraft. One of the 2024 planes is overwriting the aircraft cfg file. Moving the Bonanza down gives it a higher priority and fixes the issue.
