marcus2us Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 Ok, today I created a mission with targets along a river between the mountains. I thought it would be cool to fly low between the mountains following the river to the targets. I'm all set on the flight line loaded with CBU's 97, 87 and oh yeah those mk82 airs. now its time to light the fires and burn the tires. I get the ok to take off from ATC and as I reached TO speed I ease back on the stick and then comes the master caution. The right engine is burning. "bird strike perhaps" ok I turn left to make my way over the water to jetteson my weapons and called ATC inbound since no IFE calls are implemeted in the sim. I land and everything is cool. I have failures set to on and exspect these things to happen. My question is 1. why is it always for me anyways the right engine that craps out? 2. after landing and taxing to the flight line I refueled, re loaded and the crew chief repaired the right engine, so I thought. I get the old girl up and running again and before I could taxi for TO. The master caution lights up and guess what? Its my right engine on fire again. I called it a day and its time for a martini. has this happen to any of you? :cry: Window 7 64 Home Hp 180T I7 930quad core 12Gb DDR3 1066mhz SDRAM(6DIMM) 1TB Raid 0(2x 500 SataHDDS 1GB ATI Radeon HD 5770 HP monitor 2159m full HD

LostOblivion Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 My friend had an engine fire once, and after he had landed and repaired, he couldn't start that engine again what so ever. Now I know that you now think he missed something or didn't try all available options for making it run, but he tried everything, it would not start. Might be something bugged in the repair code for the engines? Nice plane on that gun... OS764 P930@4 MBUD3R M6GB G5870 SSDX25 CAntec1200 HTMHW
hassata Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 "Friend" lol. Sure, we believe you buddy. J/K. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Frostiken Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 Did he reset the engine fire handle? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
LostOblivion Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 "Friend" lol. Sure, we believe you buddy. J/K. LOL! I had to laugh there, but sure, I've had tons of engine fires, but the repair not working thing never happened to me... ;) Did he reset the engine fire handle? Yes. We tried everything. The engine spooled up to about 30 % rpm core, then didn't go any further. Nice plane on that gun... OS764 P930@4 MBUD3R M6GB G5870 SSDX25 CAntec1200 HTMHW
marcus2us Posted July 7, 2011 Author Posted July 7, 2011 Hey lost oblivion, After the first engine fire I had a helluva time getting the right engine to start. I motor the engine and after about 5 min. she came to life. as far as the crew chief fixing the engine I'll have to check the maints.form to see if he signed of the red X. or pencile whiped it.
