How To: Manage an emergency with REP
Until the Reality Expansion Pack came to X-Plane, it was normal to fly the sim without worrying about emergencies, since no faults were simulated except those expressively set by the user.
Since the release of REP, however, many users eventually experienced various kind of emergencies.
In this how-to, we will take a look to the correct emergency management procedure.
The Reality Expansion Pack v2.1 is now available
Winter won’t catch you up anymore with this new update! With v2.1 we finally added the Engine Preheating System that will help you warm up the engine before start and a Winterization Kit that will keep it warm right after.
Heads up! Winter is here!
When operating in cold weather, it’s better to not turn on the engine if it has not been warmed up before. The IO-520 may not even turn on when the temperature is below 3-4 °C (37-39 °F).
If you manage to make it start, you may damage it. The CHT would rise too much is a short period of time. Nevertheless, the oil would be too thick to lubricate the engine.
But…we have a solution for that!
