I've had this problem for quite sometime... I think it stemmed from putting failures on and somehow they stuck? I think I put 1 or more engines to fail, tried to land, exited FS, and thought that was the end of it... Now every time I fly, 5 mins into the flight, engines cut out. I went through the whole failure menu multiple times, and nothing is still activated. I uninstalled and reinstalled the whole program, and nothing. It effects both MD-11 and MD-11F, no matter which. I've learned that I could somewhat control the throttle by using F1 and F3, but after the engines cut out, my throttle stick on my X52 becomes useless. This problem is only on PMDG MD-11 though, no other payware I've downloaded. Any help for this massive problem?Ted

hi just an idea for u to try next time have tu tried to rectifiy the problem by solving the failure when the engines cut out like follwing the problem solving in the manaul for failures. Or i know in the 767 there is an option in the menu for fix all failures afeter u land just an thought

This is confusing. If the engines have quit, what are the throttles supposed to do?Do the engines quit after 5 min if you create a new flight (not a saved flight)?
