WEP Gone After Disco/Reconnect
« on: August 12, 2012, 07:55:54 AM »
I disconnected in flight, and the reconnect feature worked, but when I hit WEP, it responded as if it was exhausted.

I only tapped WEP a few times prior to being disconnected, but I was't running with it on, so I wouldn't have been using it.

This was in a 38-J.  I have a film, or films, if it helps.

Was the temperature gauge in the red?

No.  Verified by looking at the film also.

It is a side effect of getting discoed.  Your WEP will recover but it's exhausted when you come back in.  Maybe the AI must be treating your plane like a rental car while you're gone.  ;)

Awesome line for the splash screen I think.

More like your 11yo nephew one summer vacation with the oldest tractor that used to still run and that was parked in uncle Fred's barn.

I expereinced this issue on Friday evening after discoing and reconnecting shortly after taking off in my Dora and leavign it on auto-climb with WEP on.  I found it most odd that I had 100% internal, ~85% external (300 litter tank), and a red-lined engine (if this weren't a game :uhoh  :bolt: ).
