I have been getting uncommanded engine failures on the jet aircraft within FSX, helicopters and piston engine aircraft not being affected. These random failures happen whilst the aircraft is on the ground, during climb out, descent or on approach.

When in cruise there are no failures. Failures can be just to one engine and on restart everything is fine or in a series of multiple engine failures which makes the sim unworkable. As soon as you get an engine restarted other engines shut down.

I have never set up any failures in the system and being an airliner enthusiast it is spoiling my sim enjoyment. I have done

many uninstall and re-installs but to no affect. :(

 

My computer Operating System is on a 600GB Velociraptor, FSX on a 1TB SATA 7200rpm hard disk, ATI Radeon 4870 X2

Graphics card, Intel i7 920 processor and Windows Vista 64bit OEM.

 

Is there anybody that has experienced such problems or who can help with solving this problem? I have only been siming for

a couple of years so have no deep knowledge of FSX and its files. Someones help would be much appreciated. :rolleyes:

Look on the main Free Flight setup screen. Look for Failures on the middle right. Click on it and make sure all failures are turned off.

 

Best regards,

Jim

Thanks very much for your suggestion Jim but all failures are switched off. If you have any other ideas about this problem

that would be great as I'm at a loss what to do. I can't understand why it only affects jet aircraft and not prop or r/w.

Hope this dosn't sound too daft, but have you checked how much fuel you have? Go to the fuel loading page, and at least start by making sure each tank has 100% in it. You could just try altering to say 50%. You just might have a glitch in your cfg file telling FSX there is no fuel on board.

 

Sorry can't think of anything else.
