FENIX Engine Failures after the most recent update MSFS2020

Featured Replies

Hello,

Even though I have all failures turn off (set to NONE in MCDU), I got 2 times right engine failed on most recent 2 flights during take off phase. Looks like I'm not alone in this. 

Any other victims? And your help would be greatly appreciated.

Yep, same here. Last night during cruise both engines failed despite having no failures enabled. I also checked if any failures were active, but none were.

Intense solar radiation Airbus issue.?

Just flew the fenix yesterday with 0 issues.  I don’t think I’m on the most recent update of the fenix though- maybe that’s the solution.

Did you ditch it into the hudson?

I just posted on their discord and smoke begins to clear. My flight was from KMSP (-6C, heavy snow), and I did not activate either Fan Heating or Anti-Ice. I had not idea until now that Fenix finally implemented icing "consequences" whether you have Failures active or not. Most likely I ran into one of these icing conditions. 

There will be second attempt later tonight with historic weather.

He needs to make sure he didn't toggle "Sully Mode" in the EFB.   Very important.

Thanks mate. Interesting, my flight was in icing conditions too, although I thought I had anti ice enabled. Either way, if this is a newly implemented feature I’d be impressed. 

I’ll test some more tonight.

It’s always been there - they don’t have the visible icing feature so you don’t see anything, but the plane reacts correctly (as per Fenix, I’m not a real pilot to tell the difference)
