Hi.
After i accidently turned damage off/on all the engines went from good to excellent , after my flight from YSSY to NFFN was aborted due to a heating failure , and i had to return to YSSY , this was the flight that changed the engine life , while trying to restart this flight , and i thought i had corrupted the engine life , as they never seemed to deteriorate after this , well after my flight from RJTT/PHNL they have at last started to deteriorate .
Airframe hrs at start 199.9 after shutdown 210.9
