Seven years later this is still the case. Bezos will do anything for money. Sad. I bought the version of FC2 that came with the ring bound manual and a map. It was a version of LOMAC with a separate disk for the FC2 mod.

Indeed it was not turned on. Imagine that. Fly all the way to france with no fuel pressure on. I suppose the pumps on the wobble pump at the start was enough to for the external which i was using. Thank you. Bagged two huns this time. I started on the mustang so this spit is pure joy to fly.

Same here. I moved to the Spit from the mustang and there you just select the tank and that is all you do. For my first 20 hours i was flying the mustang on very lean fuel as the switch was not even set to run. I figured that out later. I was limping all the way accross the channel and struggelign hard to even reach the height of the bombers. It would take me forever to get that high. That is when i said this cant be right as the plane was seriously having issues even getting to 20k. That is when the facepalm moment happened. You idjit, set mixture to run. From then on no more issues. But it did teach me how to fly better and deal with temps, opening the vents and closing them and RPM settings. With the spit you have to shut off main tank and then engage the drop tank. When empty i drop it and switch tanks. I am on mission 4 now of The Big Show and i had to learn how to deal with fuel since i ran out of fuel on the first mission. Learned how to use it but fuel is still an issue. Main tank fuel was down to less than %20 once landed last mission (3). Will need to start using proper climbing/engine management technique now. I am worried about fuel as i was dogfighting the last two missions and still had fly home. The limits on are that plaque in the cockpit. cruise ~2600 +4 Max Cont ~2500 +7 Max Climb ~2800 +9 Takeoff 3000 =12

I will look at engine temps more closely at high alts cos this is happening to me too. This initially happened to me when switching from drop tank, which was empty, to main tanks. The engine would just stop more or less and i would have to wait a bit, while pumping the hand pump, to get the fuel pressure back up. The engine would then start back up. The three times ive been up on the The Big Show campaign this happened to me. All three times when changing tanks and then also later on during the flight. All well above 25k. All of a sudden the fuel pressure light would come on despite the switch being set to pressurize the tank and the only thing that makes the light go off and get the engine running again is using the hand pump till the light goes off.
