FS2024 version engine issues

[Editer]

Hey team,

Great job getting one of the first native FS2024 updates out! Was excited to grab the T-33.

Alas, ran into an engine problem when flying: Thrust would drop down to about 25% and no movement of the throttle would bring it back. Messed around a big with the fuel tank switches s wondering if that's the issue, and eventually thrust came back. But it happened again twice in the flight. 

Over on the official forum, others report the same issue. See the posts from Jigsaw407: https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/inibuilds-t-33-jet-trainer/649882/302

Having same issue.  No matter combination of fuel tanks, all tanks or just tip tanks - get off the ground and minutes into flight lose thrust and crash.  Everytime.

😟  Ditto 4 minutes into flight.

Hi all. FS2024 has brought with it new and better engine and fuel management simulation which requires a more thought into how one operates their aircraft. 
For the T-33 ensure when you are advancing the throttle, it's being done in a slow and controlled manner. If you move it too quickly, the engine will surge and stall as per the real thing.

Damn realism keeps getting in the way lol…

Thanks, @IniSteve! Confirming it was pilot error!

At first, even being more gentle with the throttle, I was still getting stalls. Then I realized I had started the flight with the hardware throttle pushed forward to about 66% and then pulled it back rapidly, which to the sim looked like a quick shove forward at start and then fast reduction.

So next flight, I pulled the throttle all the way back before clicking Fly, and then upon starting the flight, held the brakes and slowly and steadily advanced the throttle to full. Everything worked great! Engine stayed up, no stalls, flew a perfectly normal flight.

Well, until landing, when I realized I’d come in way too fast and bounced, so I instinctively slammed the throttle forward as I raised my gear to go around. And that stalled my engine. But that was pilot error and not a problem with the plane! RIP me.
