Random engine shutdowns

[Vostok]

Hi,

New here, so please say if Im doing anything wrong.

Ive seen a few threads relating to this but couldnt see a resolution.

So Im having random engine shutdowns. I used to have this on P3D V3 but in P3d V5 its far too often and on ALL my models from freeware to just flight and Carenado.

I used to think it was not having the electrical system on but even with all batteries and gens on it still happens. Also tried all pumps and x feeds but to no avail.

Sometimes I can get it the engines running by holding CTRL+E but then it will fail in a few seconds or if im lucky in a cruise.

Im also using Air Hauler 2 but I get this issue with or without it. Also tried auto mixture on and off

Thanks

What phase of flight when it happens?
Is it single or multi engine shutdowns?
Is it temperature / altitude related?

Im having random engine shutdowns.

Are you using Carenado models as AI? Or do you have an addon that potentially creates them as AI or as static models (WAMA, LorbyLiveTraffic, possibly AirHauler)?

If Carenado aircraft are created in the sim other than as your own vehicle, they pull the Mixture to 0%. This seems to be some kind of copy protection mechanism.

In addition to what Oliver said, some Carenado aircraft require a patch to make them v. 5 compatible. Take a look at the Carenado site.

Hi, Thanks for the responses.

So its typically at startup but also happens during cruise. Not altitude or temp related as Ive tried many models and many airports.

As I said its with all models not just Carenado.

I didnt set anything to be additional AI unless Carenado adds them by default, How can I check this?

Thanks

Is your default flight the LM F35 at KRND?

Check if you have enabled the option "Engine stress damages engine" under the realism settings. If it is enabled in that case you may be pushing the engines too much, or operating them wrongly, so this could be causing the failures after some time.

I have seen this behaviour just today with Nemeth Puma helicopter: I got one turbine down after a hard push on the collective and overspeed hold for few minutes of flight.

Cheers

Yes that is the default

Im fairly sure this isnt to do with any 'real world' or 'simulated' shutdown as it mainly happens when simply trying to start the engines. I have tried with the stress option on and off.

If you start with the default flight (F35 at KRND) does the engine shut down?

Hi, It doesnt or at least hasnt yet.
