Engine cuts out, won't restart...

Hi, I was flying the Quad City Challenger II just now and the engine cut out suddenly, and I was unable to restart it (with Ctrl-E). The propeller turns slowly but then stops.

Any ideas what happened?

Cheers :D

Actually, you know that's possible, I didn't check. But I remember a while ago changing the realism settings, and could have unchecked the infinite fuel option.

I did look at the dash gauges and the fuel one read full, but it's possible the gauge doesn't really work...

And before I glided to a stop without power, I'd accelerated time to reach a destination. So it's possible the small ultralight just ran out of juice.

Nope. I didn't have Infinite Fuel checked. Must have been just a game glitch.
