Engine Fire!

Featured Replies

So, I had a failure of an engine fire.  (Cause could have been pilot error, but that's not the question).  So, had the alarm go off, pulled the level, discharged the bottle, performed the remaining checklist items.... and nothing.  Flame continued unabated and I didn't burn up.   

 

Is the extinguishing of the fire modeled/ animated?  Clearly burning into a a crisp isn't since I kept flying on one engine with flames from the other one to see what would happen.  i would be nice to know if they simulated the recovery as well as the failure.

 

Anyone else had something similar?

Could be an error. I sometimes have the plane start up in flames, and nothing makes them go away.
