Excessive leaning does not damage the engines?
-
Hello everyone,
two weeks into the most fun I have had with the simulator in years due to the excellent Professional Series aircraft, I stumbled over an issue I'm not quite sure of if it's on purpose or not:
When I lean the engine down the very minimum, audible detonations set in. As far as I understood the matter, those must be avoided at all costs in real life because of the damage they cause on the cylinders and the engine as a whole. I therefore expected to see a direct impact on the engine's health status, but it looks like I cam fly with a detonating engine for hours without any impact on the engine status.
While I'm not a motor pilot in real life: Did I get something wrong here or is this just a nitpick that's not part of the engine simulation yet?
Best regards,
Mathias
