Finally had an organic issue with my engine. The walk around went fine, everything looked excellent. Only mistake I made was not check the oil pressure closely enough, as it was not nearly high enough. Run up didn't present any issues audibly. After takeoff I kept my eye on the oil pressure and I tapped the gauge, with no improvement. I go ahead and request to remain in pattern in bring her back down. Once I parked, sure enough the crankshaft was "red." Everything else was just fine.
I only have 33 hours on this engine, but I'm happy to see this type of stuff in sim.

Re: First Engine Problem
You have to love A2A aircraft, you never know what will pop up. My first experience with an A2A aircraft was an engine fire on my B-17. I was hooked on A2A aircraft ever since.

Haha that sounds awesome. Still waiting on my L049 to have an engine fire.

Re: First Engine Problem
I'm too gentle on her. Maybe I'll run one of the engines at max RPM with cowl flaps closed on a hot tarmac for a while.Lewis - A2A wrote: ↑29 Sep 2020, 15:12 Oh I am sure I can help you set things on fire, as a Pilot its my speciality

Re: First Engine Problem
Try flying inverted for a while. You'll soon mess up the engine
