Plane crash just after loading

Post by atcwiz »

Maybe this is due something I can't find on the manual or in the forum, but I can't use the plane because, just after loading, without doing nothing yet, it bends the prop and crashes the engine.
Sometimes after initialization sometimes instantly.
What I forgot to do ?
Thanks

Hello and welcome to the forum,

Let us know which simulator platform (FSX, FSX Steam or P3D) you are using, and how you load your flight.

I use p3d 4 academic
First day after install was all ok and I flew many times the plane

2nd day no more able to do it, each time I load the plane the prop bends and the engine crashes


I made a try loading the plane directly, after another plane default or not or from a saved fly the result is alwas the same: crashed plane or crash after few second.

Last thing I did the 1st day, was a belly landing to see the visual effect. Have I to reset something ?

Hi atcwiz,

Yes, it sounds like you need to visit the maintenance hangar (Shift 7) and perform a complete overhaul to fix the damage to your Spit. The Spitfire is a complex add-on with a persistent damage model, so it's well worth taking a look at the manuals which can be accessed from the Windows Start Menu.

Thanks,
Nick

What Nick said, but you may have to 'Slew', by hitting the Y key a couple of times, the aircraft back onto its undercarriage after the full maintenance because it usually ends up on its nose when I do that.

I read the manual (both) but I was looking for a switch or a procedure, I was not looking for a hangar.
Thanks
