Engine Temp after shutdown

[Brent4512]

After a flight this morning I noticed that after I shutdown and then monitor the engine temperatures found under the plugin menu, the temperatures slowly rise before falling as expected.

However, if I then went to the Maintenance manager page to check out my aircraft systems for degradation, and then select Electrical and then did a Battery Test the ITT temps went from 302 deg to 0 deg instantly when I performed the battery test.  I didn't expect that but perhaps there is a logical explanation.

What do you think?  Is anyone else seeing this behavior?

Cheers

Going into maintenance and have a look at different parts of your aircraft does easily represent a 2 weeks inspection in real life. So you get a cold aircraft back from the inspection.

Good one RobW05!   

However....it doesn't happen when doing a deep dive to examine the engine and 'testing' the battery shouldn't be a 2 week job! 

It appears that when you take any action re:replacement or testing battery it resets the temp to 0 C.

Oh I see and I agree, you're right about that.

While the battery test itself shouldn't reset the engine temps, performing maintenance does reset the engine temps. That's quite by design. Just not the battery test.

Right on - that's why I reported it!

Incidentally, this is using v1.1.6.
