Pip B 1 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Hi love the Airbus A320, and I am working my way through the first Sample flight, but twice just before starting the descent both engines report a loss of oil pressure then shut down, what have I missed??....

Aerosoft Jonas S. 466 Posted November 27, 2014 Aerosoft Share Posted November 27, 2014 Hey Pip, can you provide screenshots of that problem? Have you been using something like FsPassengers that simulates failures for example? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pip B 1 Posted November 28, 2014 Author Share Posted November 28, 2014 Hi I will try to get a screenshot, the warning appears in the PFD in amber oil pressure less than13psi?, then engine one quits then seconds later engine two the Oil pressure reported on the engines is normal, I have checked the P3D failures and made sure they were turned off ( i never use them) and I don't use F/S passengers. I the only unusual thing is that I am using a P3D saved flight as I go through the set up, I will try the whole procedure starting from a default flight today as I know in FSX that sometimes user saves could mess things up!!!! Thankyou for your quick reply and I will get back to you with the results Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pip B 1 Posted November 28, 2014 Author Share Posted November 28, 2014 Apparently the issue is fixed by "load a predefined panel state" but i am not sure what a predefined panel state might be I start "cold and dark" using the FMS do you think this is what they ment? Still having fun flying...... Pip B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still having fun flying...... Pip B Screenshot? FSX or P3D? other addons used influencing an aircraft? did you work through the stepby-step guide? .... Don't know how many hundred flights I did meanwhile under FSX and P3D, but never experienced this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pip B 1 Posted November 28, 2014 Author Share Posted November 28, 2014 Hi P3D, REX FTX central for P3D on a fresh install on a new drive no other addon aircraft, I will do a screen shot, but it takes 45-50 minutes to get to the point when it happens , yes I am going through the step by step guide and yes I also have hundreds of flights in FSX and now P3D including the Majestic Q400 and A2A B17, Cessna 172 etc, and I have had issues like this, both pilot error and code issues, eg A2A's Spitfire overheated radically for three or four patches, equally I may have made a mistake and missed some vital point and was hoping that someone would say "A ha" thats easy he's not done......... If not then I will plod on trying things Pip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51558 Posted November 28, 2014 Aerosoft Share Posted November 28, 2014 Just keep in mind that we did not program any failures or oil leaks. It has to be triggered by something outside our product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pip B 1 Posted November 28, 2014 Author Share Posted November 28, 2014 Hi just complete a flight Innsbruck to Nice, no loss of oil failure, however oil was consumed start at 15.6 and ended at 14.7 at 1hour17mins, the fault lights came on at>13. Hi Mathijs, it is very interesting that you have not programmed for failures or oil leaks, but the Airbus definitely reported (in Amber) Oil >13 and 10-15 seconds later the engines quit. Could the engine failures be unrelated to the oil low warning, P3D i think has icing and although i was in clear all weather flying the temps were low could P3D ice the A320s engines? I was not running the De icers at the time of the faults, this flight i ran them all the way Regards Pip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pip B 1 Posted November 29, 2014 Author Share Posted November 29, 2014 Second flight same profile no issues, so probably finger trouble on my part or the "Cat on the keyboard error!!" So all appears well please close this query thankyou for your support Best Regards Pip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
