Hi all,
This is just a little "reminder" topic. The information was in fact given to me several months ago by somebody right here on this forum, but I could not find the link anymore.
You can add engine damage very easilly to any piston plane in FSX, simply by adding this parameter in the [piston_engine] section of the aircraft.cfg of the plane:
detonation_onset = xx
XX is a number that defines the manifold pressure that will damage the engine if exceeded.
For example, on Milton's Howard, the gauge in the cockpit tells something like 80 as maximum. I have set the parameter in the aircraft.cfg to 40 just for easy testing, and you can see on the screenshot below what I got after a minute or two flying at max throttle.
And it works also with FS9 planes, as you can see in the second screenshot. The max manifold pressure on the Corsair seems to be 60, I set the limit to 55 and got engine power slowly getting down, and finally some flames and smoke got out.
Sorry if this is old news, but I forgot about it and just made my first tests today. Also, the search engine didn't return anything for this parameter, so I thought about making an 'official' topic
