[Released] BN-2 Islander Damage Mod v1.0

[Kekelekou]

Hello,

I am much pleased to announce the release of the Damage Mod for Flight1’s BN-2 Islander.
This addon brings a wear and failure engine to the Islander “à la Accusim”, based on the flight manual of the real airplane and the DM concept created by Ismail Hakki Güzel.

The following systems will wear out and will be inflicted damage in case of improper use :
- engines
- generators
- propellers
- flaps
- flaps motor
- flight controls
- autopilot
- vacuum
- pitot tubes
- brakes
- structural deicing (the corresponding switch is added to the virtual cockpit)
- landing lights

Extra features :
- avionics dying if on when engine starts
- blown tires in case of hard landing
- foul spark plug if engine runs at low rpm and rich mixture for too long, (rpm drop during mag dead-cut test simulated)
- engine dies in case of quick throttle movement with fuel pump off
- sluggish engine response to throttle input with cold engines
- door lock and alarm

Please have a look at the instructions included in the package for more details.

Happy flights, and don’t forget to pay attention to the instruments!

There's an error in the installation instructions. It reads:

[WindowXX]
Size_mm=350,665
Position=0
Visible=0
Ident24479
Gauge00=BN2_PanelDM!BN2_PanelDM,1,1,350,665

Should be:

Gauge00=BN2_DMPanel!BN2_DMPanel,1,1,350,665

Oh boy!
I feel so bad to have let this one slip through...
Thank you for the heads-up.
Will amend the instructions ASAP

No hard feelings about that. Your mod is awesome. I've got fouled spark plugs in my Islander already.

Your mod is awesome. I've got fouled spark plugs in my Islander already.

Only in the world of FS would someone actually thank a person for fouling their plugs!

I agree with Alpha Charlie....your mods are fantastic, Kekelekou. I haven't had time to play around too much with your revisions yet, but I've been following your SOH thread for some time. The F1 Islander has always been a great plane, but it always seemed too 'sterile' and lacking in systems feedback. Your hard work has rectified those deficiencies....and then some! Great job.
