Author Topic: POLL: Hot Restarts for Engines (Read 1888 times)

Now that we know it happens, are you for or against HTC implementing code that would make restarting a hot engine take more time. (For sake of discussion, let's say 30 seconds for the engine to restart after it has been shut down) Please, leave the reasoning in the other thread, just answer

A. For : you want engine restart 30 second restriction.

B. Against : you want to be able to start and stop engines at will.

My vote: A. For

A: for

However, I'd much rather see random failures if you abuse your engine in such a manner....cut it in combat a couple times and it MIGHT restart....or WHAM you might have a dead engine.

definitely for. Also, going on a tangent, I just read that when early carburators on Merlins cut off because of negative G's, the engine would make a bang and a puff of smoke. I'd really like that modelled.

A. For - Although I would be happy if engine restarts only took as long as it takes to start an engine on the runway before takeoff. This "instant restart" by hitting E in-flight is bad.
