Sorry I’m late to the party @SinfulDanTheMan , but I notice in your screenshot here that you’ve got the throttles pegged and your manifold pressure is way up there at 41 inches. Whenever I’ve done this I eventually end up “damaging” the engines and lose a LOT of power and you can see the EGT in your …

I hadn’t read that engine damage was modelled. I’m pretty sure I’ve left the throttles fully forward for extended periods without causing any damage. Do you have an idea of how long it would take to cause damage? I’m guessing really abusing them, by leaving the throttle fully forward then pulling …

I had no idea that damage was modeled on this one either. I don’t recall seeing anything about it in the manual.

Isn’t that a setting in MSFS options?

Honestly, I’m not sure if it’s actual modeled damage, or if it’s a bug, but any time I fly the 414 with the throttles on full to where the manifold pressure is up near the “red line” (41 inches), after a while I notice the EGT on the left engine starts to reduce and it loses power. Then the same thi…

Are you still at WOT more than 500’ AGL after takeoff? 35”/2500RPM to climb, keep that until cruise alt. You’ll need to increase throttle over about 21000 (turbo critical alt) to keep it at 35”. Watch the turbo limits approaching 24000. Then level off, speed up, set an appropriate cruise power.

[image] Lerxtwood: it looked exactly like what I see when I lose engine power by running full throttle. Just testing this now. No damage after 5 minutes. [image] About 10 minutes of caning the engines now, and they haven’t broken a sweat as yet. [image]

Interesting… I haven’t flown the 414 for a while (been busy with the PMDG 747 :slight_smile: ) but I just loaded up beta 2.0.0 and am trying the same thing. Full throttle 41 in manifold pressure. Flew for about 10 minutes at 3000 ft. with no issues. Climbing to 18000 now to see if that changes anyth…

Those damage options I think end your flight with the black screen.
