Classic British Flight Sim

Firstly, thanks to DM for a real beaut aircraft. I have installed it in FSX, flies great, but..... the starboard engine dies after about 5 mins into a flight. Tried resetting all switches, checked & rechecked fuel, hydrs, electrics etc but it keeps happening. After 40 odd yrs in the a/c industry I do know a bit but this has me baffled. Any clues please?

Make sure you have the Engine Top Temp switches turned on. These can only be accessed from the VC and are the two white switches immediately right of the HP Cocks.

Hello Johno

Welcome aboard

Yep top temp...........That'll be it

Without the switches on, if you run full power too long you cook the engines and they won't re start as they have been destroyed

Hi Johno

If you don't like flying from the VC or navigating to the top temp switches, an alternative is to keep the temps in the yellow on takeoff rather than gun it at full throttle. The old girl still has enough pep to get you up, up and away I fall into the 'can't be @rsed to go to the VC' group and never had an engine burn

I always pop into the VC..turn them on then go back to the 2D

Gentlemen, thank you! I now feel like I'm flying a real aircraft.... love it

No problem Johnno.. glad to be of assistance. Oh.. sorry for missing an 'n' out of your name earlier. I scrolled down the page and saw Garry had only put 1 'n' so followed suit

I did but it's true I suppose I could have scrolled further but one post was far enough for my old finger
