Engine keeps quiting

Postby aewest » Thu Nov 30, 2006 5:13 pm

In many third party missions, I get to a waypoint and my fighter engine quits. I can not restart it either with"E" or manual. Is it me, the missions, or what?

What is your fuel state when you get to the waypoint? It's unlikely to be 100% still unless you use unlimited fuel.

Are you certain that the air/fuel mixture is set correctly?  At altitudes of 3,000'MSL or above some mixture adjustment is necessary if you are doing it manually.
