Yes, not many, and I haven’t changed anything in Community since before Sim Update 5. The issue appeared from Sim Update 5.

Brief description of the issue:
If the mixture is set correctly and I set the throttle to idle, the engine stalls.
So, to avoid the engine stalling, since Sim Update 5, we now have to:
- either lean the mixture more than it should be
- or never go to idle with the throttle
Example: see video, with explanations here:
I am at l’Alpe d’Huez.
I start with CTRL + e, so the mixture is set properly at 52.6 %
But if I set the throttle to idle the engine stalls (it stalls at around 660 RPM). So, I have to keep the throttle a bit above idle to avoid the engine stalling.
If I want to set the throttle to idle AND avoid the engine stalling, I have to set the mixture at ~ 45 %, but this is too lean!
Even at sea level, when I go vertical and put the throttle at idle to do a hammerhead (maneuver in which an airplane pulls up in a vertical climb until it almost stalls and then drops the nose in a wingover so that direction of flight is reversed) at ~ 2000 ft, then the engine stalls!
To fly the Extra like before Sim Update 5, I needs to enable the automixture in Assistance Options, Aircraft Systems, which is ridiculous.
Recently this problem had been fixed by upping the revs on the engine, which was a quick fix rather than a proper fix (see
Higher idle on the Extra since v 1.16.2.0 makes it difficult to land, as too much power - Bugs & Issues / Aircraft Systems - Microsoft Flight Simulator Forums
, but at least it worked OK.
Provide Screenshot(s)/video(s) of the issue encountered:
Detail steps to reproduce the issue encountered:
Using the Extra, raise the throttle to ~ 20%, start the engine with CTRL + e (this will set the correct mixture), then lower the throttle to idle. See video!
