Curious issue with Sky Sim DC-9

Featured Replies

Hi,

 

I have encountered a strange 'bug' in the Sky Simulations DC-9. Each time I level off at 3000 at COL ready to intercept the ILS at KLGA, the engines shut down! Both of them! So I manage to get the APU started and make an emergency landing on a road somewhere in Brooklyn.... And now the engines won't start at all. Every time I make a flight with this plane, the engines shut down just before I intercept ILS, VOR/DME, or level off for an approach,......

 

Is anyone experiencing this issue? Have you found a solution?

 

Thanks

What are your fsx realism settings? Unlimited fuel or realistic?

 

Best regards,

Jim

You will have better luck posting in their support forums

Had the same problem with the SkySim DC-9 ... and never determined what the fix was. For a variety of reasons, I hangared it.

Like JRMurray said, I had issues and have long deleted it from my system. Seems like it has been an abandoned product...

Thans for your replies, my FSX realism settings are all set to realistic, but I think I will buy the Coolsky DC-9 as it looks promising.

 

Thanks,
