Continued engine shutdowns of any aircraft

Discussion Hub General Discussion
1

Since July 7th of this year, the engine of most of the aircrafts continues to stall, especially the Extra 330, and even the recently acquired Eurofighter Typhoon.

The stalls occur in any circumstance: at start-up, at the beginning of the flight, when I have been flying for some time, etc.

I usually fly in “ready to fly”, so there is no possibility that the stalls are the consequence of some incorrect manipulation by me in any configuration of the flight conditions. I think it is a programming problem.

Please reply

Have you checked to see if you have a psuedo button applied to switching engine off. I had this with the right brake once. I cleared it by binding a button to the function on each device and then clearing it. For me it was a function bound even though it was not showing up in the assigned function list.

My first thought was also binding issues. Perhaps the mixture axis is bound to something it shouldn’t be? Though I’m not sure if the Typhoon uses it for anything (clearly not quite for mixture, but e.g. the Cessna 208 uses it for the condition lever AFAIK).

Engine auto stop and start function is here.

yep mixture settings would also do this. You can test this by setting assists to ignore mixture settings.

Hi,
I have this issue when I hit the ESC-button and after “resume” the engines are shutting down.

Hi @sildon13, @Aeluwas, @RudyMiner

No, sildon13, I turn on and off engine with key combination, better said: I turn it on, turn it off I never turn it off (to my misfortune, it turns itself off). I have the Saitek X52 Pro Joystick and to my surprise, it was already included in the program, the assignments of the aircraft functions to the joystick.

In your second “assistance options” image I modified: “Droft turn” from ON to OFF, as it is in your configuration. I immediately started to fly to verify if the engine stopped. Indeed, after 5 minutes it stopped.

In your first image, it appears something different from mine that I send you. In my configuration, I understand that the motor is assigned to the “button 8” of the joystick.

Aeluwas : I think it is a problem of the Asobo program, I have not configured anything in the Typhoon, and it also suffers from engine stalls.

RudyMine r: I am very glad about your answer, it turns out that I have in addition to the one already described, exactly your same problem, which I had NOT discovered yet. By the way: have you already corrected it, does the motor only stall after pressing Esc?

Thanks for your effort, let’s see if we continue to investigate and solve this annoying hiccup.

Kind regards to all: Delfin

For you, sildon13

Bindings are not “per aircraft” but it must be noted that some inputs perform additional or different functions in different aircraft depending on how it was coded by the developer.

An example.

The MB-339 reacts to fuel mixture control input by putting the throttle into its “stop” position.

Also, not all aircraft actually respond well to certain start states.

It may be that the Eurofighter (for example) is just badly configured for that start type by the 3rd party developer.

I think it is a key-bind problem.

I have written to the 3 of you who responded to my difficulty with the systematic engine stops, none of you answered me. Now I am answering you directly for the second time: I would like to know if you have solved your problem, and if so, how?

Thanks for your effort, let’s see if we continue to investigate and solve this annoying hiccup.

Hi,
it is not happening with all aircrafts. I had this problem e.g. with Fiat G91.
After hitting ESC I didn’t touch my joystick or any other controlls. After resume the engine is shutting down and I had to restart it. The Stearman and Ju 52 is working. I really don’t know what this behavior is forced by. And I don’t have any solution. Sorry

Ciao

Hi @RudyMiner:

Thank you for your reply.
Have you reported your anomalies to this forum? Do you know if there is in this forum or elsewhere the possibility to report these strange behaviors?

For me, after pressing the Esc key, all the engines of all the airplanes stop, except for the Boing 747, 787 and Airbus 320.

Sometimes, when the plane appears on the runway ready to take off, it stops immediately. After starting it, sometimes I fly 30 seconds, 5 minutes, 30 minutes, etc. and it stops again. There are days when it is impossible to fly these airplanes, there are also days when it does not stop, but they are the least. But I repeat: after pressing Esc, the engine stop is safe and infallible.

I have the impression that they do not pay real attention to failures of this magnitude, and this is quite serious. Of course in “Aerofly FS 2”, in the Forums the problems raised are attended with other dedication, especially by the moderators, and if not, we resort to the “technical support” and they always solve any problem raised. Especially here, I see that the moderators are the least responsive, and whenever they do, it is in a very short form, which is the same as nothing.
I await your reply.
Kind regards: Delfin

Hi @RudyMiner:

I wanted to know if the problems you were having with the Extra 330 LT engine stall have been resolved. Do you have or do you not have engine stalls after pressing the Esc key? I continue to have that problem and quite a few others, all related to engine stalls on most prop planes.

The latest complaint made to the Forum about my problems is this topic:

From today 09/11/2021, new generalized shutdown of engines on aircraft…

I await your reply: regards: Delfin

Hi,
I never had this problem with propeller planes only jets like G91, F2H-2 Banshee and Sea Hawk
