1. DDz Quorum Friar Posted October 13, 2019 1. DDz Quorum Posted October 13, 2019 Salute chaps, i am getting engine over cooled warning message when starting up. What am I not doing? Or doing wrong? now that I have my stick sorted and with sids help got the mapping profile software working, this will probably be the first of many questions...... friar Quote
DD_Arthur Posted October 13, 2019 Posted October 13, 2019 Is this when starting from cold in a quick mission? Is it on a winter map? Which plane or planes is this happening with? Quote
1. DDz Quorum Friar Posted October 13, 2019 Author 1. DDz Quorum Posted October 13, 2019 Yes starting from cold in the quick mission. Trying to get key bindings sorted. Plane is parked with everything off. i have put mixture and rpm to max throttle to about 15% got it on the yak yesterday but think I have had it on others? Quote
DD_Arthur Posted October 13, 2019 Posted October 13, 2019 I think this is normal. Over cooling - as well as over heating - represent problems for aero engines therefore the technochat gives a warning. An engine starting from cold would be within the parameters that would give an over cooling message. As the engine warms up these messages should cease. Quote
delta7 Posted October 13, 2019 Posted October 13, 2019 Iv seen this and it goes away once throttle is used and airborne Quote
1. DDz Quorum DD_Fenrir Posted October 13, 2019 1. DDz Quorum Posted October 13, 2019 The viscosity of engine oil changes with temperature; when cool it is too thick to circulate quickly enough to exchange the heat generated by the engine at higher power settings. As the oil warms it runs more freely allowing it to move more quickly and better transfer the heat from the engine to the oil radiator. There should be min operating temps in the aircraft guidelines tab in the briefing window. 1 Quote
Perfesser Posted October 14, 2019 Posted October 14, 2019 There's a setting under the realism tab where you select the type of mission (single, one on one, dogfight) to start with a "warmed up engine"..... Quote
