+1, watching virtual RIAT right now and had the same thought. Is it just some custom assets on one of the Caucasus airfields or a full custom made map?

I figured it out! The inverted flight without the boost pump causes the engine to go out, performing an in-flight restart brings the fuel flow back and now all is well. This thread can be deleted.

Hi everyone, I've been really enjoying flying the C-101EB lately and decided to look in more detail at some of the systems. One of the things I wanted to know was what the purpose of the Fuel Boost Pump. From the manual I read that it "permits inverted flight for about 30 seconds". Interesting, so from the manual it seems to be the case that the boost pump is only needed for inverted flight, and otherwise the fuel will be fed just fine by gravity. Based on this I thought I'd try an experiment. I gained altitude, switched off the fuel boost pump and rolled the plane into an inverted attitude. My expectation was that the fuel flow gauge would begin to drop, and eventually the engine would be starved of fuel. This part of my expectation was correct. However, I also expected that once I'd returned the plane to level, gravity would continue to do its job and the fuel flow would increase back to normal. This in fact did not happen, the fuel flow continued to drop and I was not able to get it back up, resulting in an engine failure. Even switching the fuel boost pump back on was not enough to restore the flow of fuel. Just for my curiousity I wanted to ask, is this realistic behaviour, and if so, why does it happen? Are there any experts here who can tell me? Thanks for reading.

This makes finding user created skins for the Eagle difficult/impossible, I'm surprised it hasn't been added yet since this is a pretty simple addition.

My impressions of the eagle have been great so far, but I did notice a minor bug with what looks like a missing texture on the fuel valve control. The fuel valve currently looks like this: In the manual it looks like this:

If you didn’t want to use the mission editor, you can also use “Rearm and refuel” in the radio menu (bound to \) after loading into a mission, this will allow you to select any payload you want.

Would love to see this, it does get in the way a bit if you're just doing aerobatics.

It was created by Belsimtek but is now maintained by ED. Same as with the Huey.

Seems to still be an issue. In YouTube videos back from release I see the behaviour with the engine cranking a few times before starting, but for me it just starts instantly even without priming and on a cold day. Starts no problem at idle throttle too, don't even need 1/3.
