Modelling engine wear and WEP limitations

[ICDP]

Seadog no matter how many charts you produce the fact remains that there WAS a limit imposed on the use of +12lbs boost. Even the charts you produce sate that use of +12lbs boost MAY shorten engine life. The fact that an engineer was to assess for potential damage after +12lbs boost was used is a bloody good indicator that potential damage could occur. Not definately damaged but MAYBE damaged, after eventual inspection it may be found that engine is perfect but it didn't mean the potential for damage wasn't there. It doesn't matter if an inspection was mandatory or recommended or even to be contemplated, the fact remains that use of +12lbs boost EVEN FOR A FEW SECONDS, DID require the pilot to make a note in the flight log. It was then up to the engineer to determine if the engine needed overhauled based on the fact that +12 boost INCREASED THE RISK OF DAMAGE. He would not be under orders to do this if there was not some good bloody reason for it.

Not one single person replying to your posts is saying a Merlin will break as soon as 5 minutes at +12lbs boost has passed. We are saying the potential for damage was increased the longer it was used. If you don't want to damage your Merlin then turn off CEM. The rest of us will keep it as close to real as possible.
