Until the Reality Expansion Pack came to X-Plane, it was normal to fly the sim without worrying about emergencies, since no faults were simulated except those expressively set by the user.
Since the release of REP, however, many users eventually experienced various kind of emergencies.
In this how-to, we will take a look to the correct emergency management procedure.
Heads up! Winter is here!
When operating in cold weather, it’s better to not turn on the engine if it has not been warmed up before. The IO-520 may not even turn on when the temperature is below 3-4 °C (37-39 °F).
If you manage to make it start, you may damage it. The CHT would rise too much is a short period of time. Nevertheless, the oil would be too thick to lubricate the engine.
But…we have a solution for that!
The sim keeps crashing when I load my REP powered airplane
The crash is most likely caused by SASL. Some users reported SASL-related crashes on Windows 10 as well on El Capitan (see this post by Ben Supnik). To fix the problem you must update SASL to a newer version: Download
Update v2.0.3 for the C210 is now available
The C210 is now updated to the latest v2.0.3 version of REP. This is not only a maintenance update. It introduces a new algorithm to calculate the CHT and the oil temperature. So you should get a more realistic warmup
