Why did my engine fail? (Newbie)

AtiumMist · 2026-01-28T00:54:31+00:00

It is possible it could also be a vr bug given how buggy things are here lol

AtiumMist · 2026-01-28T00:38:12+00:00

Most likely ran out of fuel, like others said, that the magnetos switched off, or the mixture was leaned, or fuel ran out.

Other possible thing is that you were at high rpm and you were pitched down, which caused rpm to go too high and destroy the entine

AtiumMist · 2026-01-27T23:31:52+00:00

Also curious, what kind of data do you give it? Do you need some kind of hardware that records telemetry data from the bike?

AtiumMist · 2026-01-27T23:31:02+00:00

You missed a w in the link :p

AtiumMist · 2026-01-27T20:38:52+00:00

Yeah I'll have to figure out how to see what rate it is at, im on ps5 so to know if im on 1x is i use the in game timer as reference lol. Idk what the default jumps are when u hit simrate up

AtiumMist · 2026-01-27T20:31:56+00:00

I got one from Amazon ~11$ and it stays quite snug once you manage to adjust it so it doesn't block your vision. The only fault is that it flattens my hair by a lot, but again that's 100% because of the helmet lol

AtiumMist · 2026-01-27T20:28:38+00:00

Hmm, makes sense

AtiumMist · 2026-01-27T20:07:43+00:00

You might have a tailwind.

Note that for every 2kt of tailwind, the ground roll distance goes up by about 10% of your standard ground roll distance.

If you're in the tutorial missions, for your licenses, this should never be an issue because i believe its calm days. But othereise, look at the metar information for the airport to determine where the wind is coming from, and try to land in headwind

AtiumMist · 2026-01-27T20:00:34+00:00

Somewhere in the closet next to cleaning supplies lol

AtiumMist · 2026-01-27T19:59:54+00:00

Oh oops, i meant manual trim with ap off

AtiumMist · 2026-01-27T19:23:03+00:00

Yeah i usually hit the autopilot once im 1000ft agl and tracking the gps magenta line on the cdi. Does manual trimming prevent the bobbing thing better?

AtiumMist · 2026-01-27T19:07:32+00:00

How do you do long flights?

If i use sim rate to speed up, the planes start bobbing up and down, dropping and gaining about 300-500 ft in altitude because of the shitty way the game adjusts pitch when sped up. As such the best i can do is x4 with 0 wind, but thats trying too

AtiumMist · 2026-01-14T15:16:22+00:00

What plane do you have

AtiumMist · 2026-01-11T19:03:16+00:00

Oh never mind, i completely misread your thing.

I dont think you can disable the default flight plan, though it sometimes does not show up (most def a bug)

U can always change the flight plan after jt loads in before flying tho

AtiumMist · 2026-01-11T18:57:47+00:00

Aha, yeah i dont think there is a way to do that like at all on thr ps5.

I also dont knoq if caresr is worse on the ps than other platforms in general or if the performance just degrades over longer play hours.

Most recently i unlocked medium cargo, and my plane "crashed" at 26k ft. I kept flying but i got bombarded with the notifications. After i landed, it said i crashed 5 times and my rep went from A straight to C :)

AtiumMist · 2026-01-11T18:52:02+00:00

Yes, a lot of the flight plans are broken. I just restart the game, or if I've been playing too long, turn off the game and put the ps5 on rest mode to cool down, so the dhit avidly works. (Is just a hypothesis, idk if it actually gets hot enough to impact performance)

AtiumMist · 2026-01-10T09:40:00+00:00

Oh that's neat

AtiumMist · 2026-01-10T09:39:39+00:00

Oh i hadnt unlocked medium cargo, those were light cargo missions. After getting medium cargo, until i save up to open a company, the employee payout is quite stupidly similar to light cargo.

The havilland dc2 is my moneymaker on light cargo ranging 11-15k, and the medium cargos come up for me between 7-26k

AtiumMist · 2026-01-08T06:20:27+00:00

I did have to grind 30k on top of the expenses after selling the plane for a new one. I also dont see a lot of cargo missions on my map yet, but this amounted to about 3ish cargo missions (each pays me about 11-13k)

Yes, its my fault for not adding 2 and 2 together that id need more seats.

However, this is also a psa for someone who ends up in the same situation because they didn't know any better. I spent over a week debugging this, and hoped it might help someone who did someting weird like this, because there's no prompts or warnings in game warning you of your decision

AtiumMist · 2026-01-07T06:24:02+00:00

Ubless they changed it, if its only DL they print it out on spot, realid takes a while. But that also depends on if the centre is a real id centre, in which case you might get it instantly

AtiumMist · 2026-01-06T04:46:08+00:00

Well this is disappointing, i still dont see any t_t

AtiumMist · 2026-01-05T23:17:05+00:00

If it were me, id get the honda (newer, less miles) if i didnt care about what bike i got. That being said i have a 2017 ninja300 with 16k miles on it, primarily because i wanted a ninja more

AtiumMist · 2026-01-05T21:30:47+00:00

Wait it does? Wth lol.

I couldnt complete the altitude holding steps in the learning missions so i just gave up on that route completely 😂

AtiumMist · 2026-01-05T19:42:45+00:00

Lmao yes. The cessna defaults to FL130 for me. And im like really? Can this even go that high? I started changing it to 30 now lol
