Engines dieing at altitude
I'm finding that both engines die if I go anywhere above 12,000 feet above the ground and immediately start back up if I drop back down to a lower altitude. Do I need to redownload or is this a coding issue, or what?

Same problem. No one has an answer?

Mixture settings? This was before the automixture tech I developed for the FG-1D Corsair.

Ensure the fuel pumps are switched on, you should have no problems with engine cut out above 12K ft if they are on.

<blush>RTFM. If I had I'd have known that the book says to use fuel pumps above 12,000'.</blush>LJToranaXU1 wrote:Ensure the fuel pumps are switched on, you should have no problems with engine cut out above 12K ft if they are on.
In RL the engines certainly wouldn't have cut out or recovered at exactly at that altitude, but a good Lightning pilot wouldn't know that anyway if they'd turned on the pumps climbing through 10,000 as recommended.
