torquesim sr 22 Torquesim sr 22 won't hot start cuts out when hot

[Rob Carson]

The sr 22 cuts out after long flight and taxying and then won't start whatever hot start technique is used.

We are looking into the engine cutoff bug at near-idle power when taxiing, there seems to be something in the physics model that needs a bit more tuning.

Any update on the fix?  My plane is stopping on the runway at low speeds and idle.

I haven't had the cutting out when taxying for a while. I leave fuel pump on and lean the mixture significantly and keep rpm up.

With regards hot start I can sometimes get it started but haven't quite figured out the exact procedure.

This issue occurs for me when I use real weather data and the outside ground level air temp is above 25C.  Today its 29C and very humid in Cincinnati and it stalled out 4 times trying to get to the runway to take off.

Oh, I had forgotten to take note of outside temperature, so my problem is probably not solved.

Thinking a bit more about it hot humid weather will result in less air to mix with so if you apply a bit more throttle (more air) and lean more (less fuel) you will get a better air to fuel mixture and maybe it won't cut out.

Still have a problem. Can get it started when hot but it will not continue to run whatever I do.

I taxi this thing like I used to drive my old 1960 Chevy... 1500-1600rpm and just burn up the brakes.   Scared to death to drop below that else it will stall!
