@fenthanyl I know the feeling. I'm also one to try solve my own problems before asking for help, probably to a fault. I'm just glad it's working now and you're able to enjoy this unique method of navigation. As always, let me know if there is anything else I can do for you!
Hello,
I had the same on the TFDi MD-11. And I believe that if the aircraft is coded a certain way using MSFS's icing model and loading, you will notice the ice weight on your payload manager. On the MD-11 you will see the extra weight on the FMC's payload page as a higher gross weight than the sum of your airplane weight and fuel weight.
This one I am not sure about. All I can think of is that maybe your intakes were clogged with and ice/or your inertial separators were closed. Leading to engines being chocked for air.
Your explanations are always complete and thorough. Thank you every time you provide them. I have already replicated this behavior with SPAD.neXt. Regards.
Thanks for the feedback. Could we kindly ask you to forward that feedback to Just Flight Support via the following link: https://www.justflight.com/support
Our support team will then be best suited to assist with troubleshooting and/or ensuring that any valid bugs are properly logged.
However, just to note that point 1 is intentional logic, as each RJ livery is fitted with accurate equipment configurations by default. Point 2 sounds like expected logic if the engine parameters are on the limit of rounding up/down to the nearest whole number. This will likely vary on every flight as the engines will idle at different speeds/temperatures depending on weather conditions.

Close. You're looking for var_engineDamage_L, and var_engineDamage_R.
Interesting. Is that what the URL gave you while the aircraft was loaded and running, or was that only within the main menu?
@Black-Square When do you expect to implement these changes in your Add-On? I love both Bonanza and Baron and would like the small objects culling problem to be sorted out.
This would be an awesome feature, I would definitely use it on the whole range of JF aircraft, I assume the a300 will have the UNS1 as well so that would be perfect. I think the code would carry over to the Boeing FMC as well, as far as the Pyhton script goes.
Generally speaking you should not utilize the autopilot when flying any light twin single engine. That said if you are single pilot and, it may not be a bad idea to engage it momentarily to maintain a safe attitude while completing something like an approach briefing. I used a KFC 225 momentarily on my Multi IFR training, but found I did not need it. In the sim where you are using a mouse and keyboard to look around and complete actions I can imagine it would be very helpful.
Extra Blurb:
When experiencing an engine failure you are to conduct the appropriate emergency checklist for the phase of flight from memory in a timely manner and then declare an emergency.
My flow for the turbine duke would look like this:
Disengage autopilot
Maintain control (Maintain ALT if able and pitch up to compensate for power loss ensuring your speed does not fall below the blue line speed)
If Fire: extinguish and continue below next two items
Identify the failed engine visually with rpm gauge
verify (utilizing the throttle to ensure the identified engine's gauges are unresponsive to inputs)
Inop Eng Power Lever Idle
Inop Eng Propeller Feather
Inop Eng Condition Lever Cutoff
Op Eng Propeller Full Forward (Not in Checklist but should be)
Op Eng Power Lever 1200 FT-LBS if level; 1260 FT-LBS if climb is required
Establish a safe flight attitude (very important and why you should not utilize A/P):
Hold dead engine wing up with 3-5 degree bank and apply appropriate rudder to keep the turn coordinator ball half out towards the dead engine (consider using rudder trim if extended flight is required on one engine)
Continue rest of checklist items utilizing emergency checklist and declare emergency with ATS
Everything before last bullet point should be able to be executed within 15 seconds of the engine failing if you are proficient. In a piston engine aircraft in cruise phase of flight you would also need to demonstrate executing troubleshooting items from memory as well before cleaning up and feathering the failed engine if the failure was not obviously catastrophic.
