Nick Cooper Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Hello, please don't write in all capital letters. The engine loads with no oil and if you start it with no oil, it seizes up, reflecting real life. If you first fill it up with oil, your problem will go away.

padburybull Posted March 19, 2018 Author Share Posted March 19, 2018 Thanks Nick, apologies for capitals, I hate to ask but how do I replenish the oil ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
padburybull Posted March 20, 2018 Author Share Posted March 20, 2018 Nick, I have found no reference to replenishing oil in quick start up, pilots notes, or maintenance files, if you have a reference I would appreciate it. Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Here you are Page 10 of the manual: Quote User Interface Orbx provides an in-simulator user interface that can be activated with the Shift+1 key. Page 11 of the manual Quote Maintenance First of all the maintenance user interface is divided into three sections; Engine, Electrical and Systems. Clicking the titles will select that section. The engine section displays the engine oil level, each individual cylinder’s condition and finally an overall description of the condition of the engine. To the right of this are buttons above the relevant part of the engine depicted in an image. These buttons are used to maintain the engine. As an owner/pilot you can add oil as the engine burns it away or replace cylinders if any of them develop faults. The compressions are actually what an engineer describes as a cylinder leak down test. This test is used to determine the condition of that cylinder. If the cylinder falls below 50/80 you are recommended to replace that cylinder. If you reach that condition it’s likely you have already experienced some loss of power from the engine so you can understand why. Leaving this condition too long will eventually result in that cylinder failing. Which results in a dramatic loss of power, vibration and furthermore server damage to the engine. Finally, if you have an engine failure or you reach the engine TBO (Time before overhaul) of 2000 hours you can perform an engine overhaul. This renews the engine to new condition specifications and even replaces your oil. The electrical system is a little more straight-forward. Generally electrical components only get replaced if that component malfunctions or fails. The electrical page simply displays an image of each component, its status and a button to repair or replace it. Systems are also similar to the electrical page although they are grouped together. Most of the replace/repair options only become available if a failure has occurred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
