In my 200+ hours with WOFF I’ve never encountered the “engine is about to self-destruct” or so tooltip, with oil splash on my windshield. Has it been recently introduced? Is there anything I might have done to cause this? It was really fortunate that I was low and close to a friendly airport - what could have happened had I not turned the engine off almost immediately?

Over the last year the onliest SE5a pilots I have lost were to engine problem. That engine really likes to catch fire.

Oh, I don't mind, I would expect it adds to the whole emersion layer of the game. I didn't tell you how many dead-stick landings after I killed the engine when it started to act up I have done. When flying an SE5 ya gotta watch for enemy aircraft and engine problems. I usually fly the long stretches on autopilot and have the flight instructor on to inform me of problems.

Oh, I'm very happy to have that in my game. I'm always prepared to follow the advice I learned in Wings - never turn around and always turn your engine off right before hitting the ground. I was just surprised to see it finally happen
