Love this aircraft but I dont get why we dont even have engine wear and tear? in dev mode i monitor aircraft wear and tear tab and there simply 0 elements in engine regard. I’ve tried to overstress engine by doing all things wrong for a prolongued period of time and absolutely nothing happens
It’s a Carenado addon.

Can you name one single Famous Flyer or Local Legend that has it? If there is one, I’m drawing a blank.

Why would you expect engine wear and tear on any aircraft?
Sure, there’s lots of wishlist items for it to be a standard feature Asobo supports directly, but, currently, Asobo only supports engine wear and tear in career mode, not in free flight. Any planes that do have it have it because the developer put the time in to create it using their own tools they’ve created. It’s not a standard item Asobo created and supports in free flight.
So the issue any wear and tear items will have in free flight is they will act differently since it’s supported individually by each developer, if they choose to develop it (Carenado does not for any of their aircraft), and each developer has their own processes and code. And there’s no guarantee it will act the same in career mode either. Typically, Asobo’s code for such things isn’t as well rounded as it might be, so even in career mode, developers might have their own way of supporting it to get around issues with Asobo’s implementation. For instance, A2A completely writes everything about their models, including their flight models.
I think it is entirely reasonable to want wear & tear or at least being able to over stress an engine/airframe. But it’s not a default feature of the sim as others here have said and if that is something you want to enjoy in free flight you have to find add-ons that support it and it could be a good idea to vote on any wishlist item for damage/failures in free flight here on the forums.

You might be right however when I first discovered wear and tear debug feature it was on default Cessna 172. There I saw that engine bar went down a little bit when you have engine running, and running engine at max rpm speed up this process. I mean they’ve simulated carb icing which surprised me twice . So why wouldn’t they simulate wear and tear is a mystery to me. At least some simple scripting
Yes, Asobo does support wear and tear. But only in career mode currently. There’s lots of people asking for it to be a standard feature throughout the sim in all modes. Currently, only a few 3rd party vendors support it, and most of them wrote their own code for it.
Anyone have the bug where you spawn in the plane not matter even cold and dark and can’t get out of the plane? Any idea why? Deleted streamed package, nothing… downloaded plane, nothing… made sure i didn’t have any mods tied to this aircraft still nothing… idk
Actually, no. Mine seems to be working perfectly with the keyboard “shift-c” key binding.

Dang hope someone has some answers lol
Did you check your “shift-c” key binding in the Controls Settings?
Yup, even rebound it just incase something was wierd with it.
Shift C works fine for me too.
Are you sure no other mod interferes? Have you tried with an empty community folder? Empty as in really empty.
In an add-on that costs more than the entire simulator, I tend to agree. In fact, taking the time and know-how to do this stuff is why Black Square, A2A et al have to charge that much in the first place.
There is quite a big gap between having nothing at all and going full A2A though.
