Hi,

I'm on the free trial deal right now and have a newb question.

After a few minutes flight the engine cuts out. No visual or audio cues, no overheating (still in yellow).

Can it be lack of fuel ? I'm sure it can't be that even with half fuel i'm sure a P-51 can stay up for more than 10 minutes.

What can it be ?

My guess is that you have changed the fuel selector switch somehow by mistake and when that tank runs dry the engine stops.

Yeah, try changing the fuel selectors-shift f (I think, I rebound it to a different key, forget what default it)

lol may be the fuel selector remembre skip between the fuel tank, using shift+f but remember, just for now, select everithing corrisponding to that

" A- xxx"

i mean do not matter what u choose instead be carefull that the beginning must be an "A-"

that will enscure u an automatical fuel switch when u are going to finish that tank

later try to learn how much fuel can carry your plane and also how
many (and where) tank it has....

to be able to enjoy flying without automatic fuel on:cool:
