But personally i was already being carefull with WEP hardly using it.
So i will try and figure out other reasons why the engine could die.

Edit: Flew above flak for a while, nothing happend.
I did notice however, if throttle is around 100% it can go into WEP without boosting the plane, still damaging the plane.
This only happens using a flight stick ofcourse. Makes me wonder everyone who has problems with the engine is using a Flight stick?

So this finally happened to me (shocking right), to me it felt like a mechanical error. About 15 min before, my wingman told me to check my oil... I did... nothing unusual (I don't think) and then preceded to engage the enemies over the trains. Got into some dogfights, wasn't hit, got some awesome kills B) and then my engine died on a REALLY hard low-yoyo trying to kill my target. Out of the yoyo, the engine died, I took it into a dive where it ALMOST started back up... but didn't..... and I couldn't land it in the frozen river :/ ... I don't feel like this is a glitch. This is very powerful engine that can get pushed past its limits.

What I was trying to say was that if it WERE something to do with the plane, a little indication of what's going wrong would be nice. The PC version had engine updates, etc.

Yeah, I was hoping for that too. Like: Overheat!, Dead, Off, Damaged, etc.

But i also noticed like i said earlyer, WEP can be engaged on flight stick throttle without really boosting the plane but still giving higher pressure into the engine.
