109 e7 engine stop

[LTcommander]

just did a hard pull up and cut throttle to zero from combat ata in the e7 and suddenly the engine stopped, radiators open and no wep used , was to force an overshoot and he had no gunsolution all the time ,just engine stopped like hitting E button and wont restart and no, no hands on keyboard

maybe wrong forum section ^^ just wanted to know if its a normal and known way the DB engine reacts or maybe a bug

You'll need to upload a track so people are able to comment better on what happened, next time.

I know the phenomenon. The Prop is kinda Sluggish to React to quick changes in Speed and may just Stall the engine. Never Managed to keep it off though, Always windmilled back into life.

Any indication your engine was hit? Sometimes the hit sounds are pretty subtle if you haven't "tuned" your sound in the Windows mixer. What season were you fighting in? I've heard, unconfirmed, tales of shock cooling and breaking the Fw 190 radial on the winter maps but I've always been really cautious to avoid it and keep a small amount low RPM even when cutting back hard.

 

Like Luke said, without a track it's really hard to positively diagnose.

No, it's the quick loss of speed combined with the quick reduction in throttle. Engine is Ok Otherwise, it's just the slow change of Prop Pitch that stall the engine, like letting the clutch go to fast in a Car.

Happens to me as well. It's not catastrophic and the engine comes back immediately.

I don't fly the E7 but I've never had that occur in a G2. I have been known to flog an engine pretty hard after going defensive and slipping or jinking.

It's uniqze to the E-7.
