Does engine performance reflect engine damage level?
-
For some reason the update to SU6 made it so when I loaded the Starship my engines were at 10 and 26%, with chip detect showing on the 10% one. For science, I decided to fly with this and see how the engines perform. I cannot detect any difference at all between how the engines behave at 100% versus their current supposedly bad state. I thought I'd be able to tell something is going on with them, especially the one at 10% with chip detect. Is the damage level purely a thing that shows up on the EFB but doesn't actually affect anything?

@rinkerbuck Maximum torque becomes increasingly restricted below 40% engine health, and I have some new things coming in the next update, as well.
