So between “Career Flights” I do free flight missions for my virtual airline - running with the C208b right now. So for two flights in a row I have been trying to fly and have received ENGINE MALFUNCTION warnings when I power up for takeoff - I actually took off the second time and the engine failed about two minutes later…really fun in IMC conditions. Once was ruled as a fluke since there is no setting for random failures that I can find. The second time…something is up. Now I can understand in career mode you have to upkeep your plane…but in Free Flight? There’s no mechanism for maintenance and I follow the flight manual procedures…so it’s not that I"m running the engine at redline for an entire flight.
Anyone else experienced something like this?
