metallic banging sound on MilViz Beaver?

[mslim 12]

I always felt the Beaver was one of the best default Airplanes in the original FSX. I bought a Turbo Otter from MilViz but never bonded with it. I was excited to see the Beaver was offered as one of the generous "freebies" from Blackbird.

I have a problem in that once the revs are advanced above 2300 rpm there's an irritating metallic banging sound. Has anyone else experienced it?

I thought maybe I had screwed up the download or gotten a corrupted file so I uninstalled and reinstalled it a couple of times but I can't make the banging go away. Any thoughts would be welcome.🤨

Have you checked the oil cap? In the Milviz Beaver, it can become loose and start to rattle. A nice little Easter egg from the dev...

Hi,

If I remember correctly it is Engine Detonation. In this aircraft you must keep the carburetor temperature in the green zone, even if you have to use the carburetor heat even at takeoff.

Hehe, yep just what I was going to say, that banging sound is the engine on the way to self destruction.

I too bought the Turbo Otter and it did take some getting used to as the engine realism most definitely meant keeping the gauges out of the red sections lest the engine dies, which for myself was often untill I got the hang of it.

Cheers
