This schedule only holds true if the engines are operated within their
limits. This means that the engines won´t be over torqued or overheat-
ed! If they are being run outside their limits the degradation happens
faster as a function of how much and how long they have been run
above their limits. With increased degradation the engines will start to
run hotter over time until INOP state is reached, then they will stop
running and cannot be started.
The real Bronco has a time between overhaul at 1600 hours (Some
even extended to 3400 hours). Since no flightsimmer ever well reach
that figure this time has been reduced to 1/10 of this i.e 160 hours.
This is still a lot of flight simming time, and since degradation happens
exponentially you won´t see any change before reaching 80 hours.
For those who want to speed up degradation further the option has
been added to decrease this time even further by selecting 2x or 4x
this rate. This option is disabled by default. To enable – click to cycle
between disabled, 1x, 2x & 4x.
On the above figure the selection box labelled “Accu. Wear” can be
seen. It is disabled. Engine health state can be seen to the right
together with their operating time Hours:Minutes. Clicking on the
small “Wrench” symbol for each engine will overhaul it and reset the
timer. The Wrench symbol will also repair the engine(s) if they have
failed and reset the fire extinguishing system for the affected engine.
