CRJ 200 Power Failure

[paulferg]

I'm about 10nm out from TNCM, descending, gear down, throttled back, in the CRJ 200 when all of a sudden I totally lose engine power and power to some of my instruments.  I was just about at the next waypoint and in my continuing glide the AP actually executed the turn.  I had x-plane set for no random outages. and when I checked each tab in the systems failures area everything was in the green.  I'm attaching two screen shots. (Hopefully the "attach" process works - the advanced loader would freeze on me so I used the basic loader).

 

Earlier in the week I had experienced a pitch oscillation problem.  Cameron sent me a revised acf file, I did a reinstall of the CRJ 200, swapped acf files, plugged back in my new navdata and all seemed well.  I started the flight with engines running, programmed the FMS, took off, punched the APENG and she flew like a charm until the moment mentioned in the first paragraph.

 

I had plenty of fuel on board and rendering was set to default.

 

Any help would be most appreciated!

Hi Paul,

 

no attachements here.

 

I know that the CRJ200 may lose engine power when to much G is put on it (somehow this cuts the fuel supply).

I had this once and it took me quite a while to figure it out. But of course it's hard to tell if this is related to your problem.

 

Cheers

There is a dedicated support thread for this plane. You might find the experts there.

Yes, unfortunately I couldn't get the attachments to load.  I was in a slow steady descent and still on autopilot, using VS and was probably set at about 1500 FPM.  Now, I did just successfully complete the same flight only this time I started from cold and dark.  Only problem was that I started getting only about 1 FPS when I was on final so it took forever to land.  This was likely due to the fact that I had the TNCM add on scenery which is pretty memory hungry - this is the St. Maarten airport that has its threshold right on the beach almost.  I'm pretty sure I was still set for default in my rendering.  I'll plan my next flight in some boring area without add-on scenery and see how I do.

 

Having fun!
