    I dont seem to be able to do any damage to the engine. I have the 'enable' checked.

    Anybody else?

    Please make sure to read the EFB Maintenance section of the manual (page 43).

    Even with failures enabled, you won't always get engine damage from firewalling the throttle and triggering the overboost light. If the overboost valve hasn't failed (which it won't most of the time) then after a short delay it will open and prevent an overboost and subsequent damage, but the overboost light will remain illuminated to warn you to reduce throttle.

    @Martyn Hello, do you mean there is a documentation delivered with the plane when purchased ?

    @Biokerozen Yes, within the 'Documentation' folder inside the aircraft package folder.

    I abused the engine up to failures a few times, and it lost power and caused an emergency landing as wanted. :-)
    But the tablet showed always 0% damage.
