stech Posted January 17, 2021 Report Posted January 17, 2021 Hi all, I have had this problem for a while, but only once in a while, and a restart would fix it. Recently though it happens all the time and a restart doesn't help. I give full throttle and the power of the engines doesn't go up to where it should be, low rpms, and the manifold pressure just stays low. It happens to both engines, but on occasion, it only happens to one. Usually the hotter the engines get, the worse it gets. I have tried to remove all plugins, reinstall the islander, restart the gizmo plugin, and even went with a fresh install of x-plane with nothing but the islander installed and it just will not work! It is driving me crazy. I love this plane and need it to fly again. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have sent the log.txt and gizmolog.txt files along with some pictures. Thanks in advance, Scott GizmoLog.txt Log.txt Quote
Coop Posted January 18, 2021 Report Posted January 18, 2021 Try opening the inlet heat, the levers are located on the center pedestal under the engine levers. Quote
DiggerD Posted January 18, 2021 Report Posted January 18, 2021 Did you try resetting all failures? Quote
stech Posted January 19, 2021 Author Report Posted January 19, 2021 I have the inlet heat open, but I did try this by opening and closing them, and it made no difference. Also all failures are turned off and reset. Thanks for the quick replies. Quote
stech Posted January 24, 2021 Author Report Posted January 24, 2021 I think I have solved the problem?? I add some carb heat when warming the engines up, and the problem went away. I have tried to duplicate the icing problem, but it works fine now, even with the carb heat off. Like I said in the original post, it doesn't do it all the time, so I'm not sure if the problem is solved. Thanks for every ones help. 1 Quote
Ch.Cole Posted January 29, 2021 Report Posted January 29, 2021 That't typical behaviour for carburettor icing, which obviously depends on weather. you can have carb icing at 15C on low throttle settings. this lua-script pops up values is you have carb icing, or you can assign the command FlyWithLua/BN2P/Toggle_CarbIceDisplay to display it constantly. if PLANE_ICAO == "BN2P" then CarbIce = dataref_table("sim/flightmodel/engine/ENGN_crbice") create_command("FlyWithLua/BN2P/Toggle_CarbIceDisplay", "Toggles the CarbIceDisplay", "CI_displaytoggle()", "", "") showCID = 0 function CI_displaytoggle() if showCID == 0 then showCID = 1 else showCID = 0 end end function show_CarbIce() if showCID == 1 or (CarbIce[0] + CarbIce[1]) > 0.02 then draw_string(50, 70, "L Carb Ice: " .. math.floor(CarbIce[0]*1000)/1000) draw_string(50, 50, "R Carb Ice: " .. math.floor(CarbIce[1]*1000)/1000) end end do_every_draw("show_CarbIce()") end Carb icing is most pronounced in high humidity air with low throttle settings. 2 Quote
stech Posted January 30, 2021 Author Report Posted January 30, 2021 Thank you for the reply. I will add this to my lua scripts. Quote
