Hey,
      i just got the FSX pack of the North American X-15 from Xtreme Prototypes. Anyway i cant figure out how to get the plane to go as im not sure how to start the engine and the throttle as it has other things to do before hand such as the fuel pump and oxygen switch.

if anyone knows how to start it can u plz tell me..

Thanks

You light the rockets, after being let loose from a B-52  

Thanks i've got it working now, but one more thing.... when im in mid flight the engines just randomly turn off... does anyone know why that happens.

Thanks

I'd imagine that they've run out of fuel.

It's a rocket..  It drops from the B-29 wing.. fires its rockets..  goes really really fast, and glides back to earth.

It could be but it happens about 30 seconds into flight

Check how much fuel you've got in it. You might accidentally only have 1% fuel on. That's what happened with the Mirage III I bought.

The X-15 has very limited fuel. If your not too into the realism aspect, you can give yourself unlimited fuel in the "Realism" settings on the UI Control Panel.

This is true, there was not enough fuel for the X-15 to last for more than 5 minutes.

Yeah All u guys were right... i changed the realism to unlimited fuel and it worked. ....why didn't i think of that? nyway thanks
