A few questions before purchase

[Andreas]

Hello! I'm leaning towards buying the DC-3 v2 but I still have a few questions to which I have not yet found any info on.

1. Engine damage modeling: Does things like overheating, carb icing or man-handling of the engines effect them in either performance degradation or even total loss of engine?

2. I'm the owner of the first DC-3 released by LES, I missed the train when there was a discount for previous owners. Is there any possibility for any discount?

Best regards, Andreas

If you manhandle the engines, it is very possible to fail. Engine performance is degraded (power output is different in a just maintained aircraft vs one which maintenance is due) as you use the engine. There is a maintenance system, you must follow to keep the engine in good condition. There is an option to enable X-Plane failures, which MTBF depends on aircraft condition.

For the discount, it is an X-Aviation matter, but I don't think that is possible now to get a discount as previous owner.

Thanks for the information Ilias.
