sinelnic Posted October 7, 2010 Posted October 7, 2010 I had a very funny test flight where I would enable crossfeed before TO, only fo find my engines turning themselves off randomly when pushed beyond 80% or so. Besides the thrill of experiencing for the first time an engine failure beyond V1, I was wondering WTH would crossfeed generate that behavior.

StrongHarm Posted October 8, 2010 Posted October 8, 2010 Maybe this? (p130) : Bleed air is used to transfer fuel from external fuel tanks. As such, the Bleed Air switch must be set to BLEED in order to transfer fuel from these tanks. If OFF is selected, the contents of the tank will be vented. It's a good thing that this is Early Access and we've all volunteered to help test and enhance this work in progress... despite the frustrations inherent in the task with even the simplest of software... otherwise people might not understand that this incredibly complex unfinished module is unfinished. /light-hearted sarcasm

But I think this applies to external tanks, I was only using internal.

power5 Posted October 8, 2010 Posted October 8, 2010 I have had same issue and was not sure why it was happening. Always flames out my left engine. Could not restart either. Of course not knowing cause makes it a bit difficult. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Aaron i7 2600k@4.4ghz, GTX1060-6gb, 16gb DDR3, T16000m, Track IR5 BS2-A10C-UH1-FC3-M2000-F18C-A4E-F14B-BF109

Of course not knowing cause makes it a bit difficult. If you are experiencing a flameout on the ground, you need to motor your engine with the throttle closed to purge it of excess fuel. Look for Eddie's extensive checklist. It contains a lot of do's and dont's that are not contained in the normal checklist. Good, fast, cheap. Choose any two. Come let's eat grandpa!

I can't find it in the forum here.
