Hammer1-1 Posted April 26, 2020 Posted April 26, 2020 I had just flown a half hour already in the Tomcat at 31 or 32k feet at under mach 1. I kicked in the afterburners and accelerated to mach 1.29 or so, wings swept full aft, 5000lbs left of fuel. Both engines flamed out and I couldnt get the engines to spool back up afterwards. No relight, no air start, no nothing. This was during the training mission of starting the aircraft up on the carrier. I didnt save the track, but I do have the tacview for it if anyone wants to look at it. I honestly dont know what caused this issue.

Hammer1-1 Posted April 26, 2020 Author Posted April 26, 2020 They were in the default position as called out in the training mission. IIRC they were flipped in the aft position.

sLYFa Posted April 26, 2020 Posted April 26, 2020 Did you by any chance put the fuel transfer switch to off? Engines shutting down while having 5000lbs of fuel left sounds like there was still fuel in the wing/ext tanks but it wasnt transfered to the feed tanks (that happened to me few times since the switch does not automatically flip to the auto position once fuel in the feed tanks gets low). i5-8600k @4.9Ghz, 2080ti , 32GB@2666Mhz, 512GB SSD
Hammer1-1 Posted April 26, 2020 Author Posted April 26, 2020 I dont think so, only thing I was doing at the time was trimming with the wing sweep and I have that mapped to my throttle.
