Caravan issue

[scanham]

I just purchased the Caravan pro package for MSFS2024. I love it and have completed 3 flights in the passenger variant without issue.

I first noted the annunciator light for Chip Detector on but everything seemed to function normally otherwise. I understand stand this might have been caused by over torquing the engine. I tried to administer repairs but the light won’t clear.

Also, not sure if related but now I can’t get enough torque/power to take off. I tried the amphibian variant and it worked fine and took off and landed. I restarted several times but to no avail. I also did a clean install of passenger variant but no change and the light was still on.

Help would be appreciated.

Have you checked if the Engine is still ok?
What does it show on the condition?

[scanham]

Engine is at 100%. Failures are turned off.

[RealPax]

Did you also Clear Engine and Clean Filters?

[scanham]

My Chip Protect is “red”.
I have Cleared Engine and Cleaned Filters. Nothing fixes it. I also did a clean. Reinstall.
Nothing helps.

Sorry I am out of ideas. Hopefully someone with more knowledge then me will help you.

Thanks, I appreciate your help. There must be a solution.

Do you have any damage other than Engine Stress damage on in the assistance menu? There's an issue with the core Sim where having one of the airframe or aircraft stress damage enabled (e.g. not checked) in that menu will damage the engine outside of the Black Square damage modeling.

Seems like it was usually accompanied by an in sim message about engine or turbine failure that you haven't mentioned, so perhaps not the issue, but worth checking.
