  1. Hi! A few questions about how to handle an engine failure during takeoff (after V1). Yesterday I armed a engine failure after V1, manually climbed 1500ft and engaged autopilot but I noticed that I cannot engage autothrottle. Is that normal? Should the autothrottle not be used under any engine failure conditions? How about the landing weight? Would it be normal policy to land the aircraft in an engine failure (not engine fire) occured after takeoff if you are a bit abowe max weight? Say 5000-6000lbs. Or should you circle around to burn fuel with one engine since the 737 has no fuel dump capability? Thanks! Kaj Ekström
  2. Recently, when I fly the 737 in FSX I have received a continuous engine failure indication abut 10 minutes into the flight. The engine indicators turn all red and the message "Engine Failure" appears below. The revolution indicators temporarily go to 0, but then the engines restart. But the cycle of failure and restart continues indefinitely, and I can find no way to fix the problem. I have adequate fuel, and there is no message on the FMC. i have previously had many successful flights. I have installed no new applications. The Failures Option is turned off in the FMC, and in FSX Can anyone help? Jack Laschenski
  3. Hello. I recently purchsed the 737 NGX and love it. I've been using it with FS2Crew for BAV flights, and it's amazing! However - on about 50% of flights, I run into the following problem: as I try to apply power to begin taxi, or when applying power to begin the take off roll, one or both engines suddenly fail, with 'eng fail' and 'low oil pressure' lights/warnings. Sometimes the engines come back by themselves automatically, sometimes they just die, and I haven't figured out how to re-start them. I am starting every flight from cold and dark using FS2Crew to go through the entire start-up procedure and all the checklists. I've even run into this problem doing the various tutorials from PMDG - so in other words I don't think this is a fuel supply / configuration problem. Any ideas?
  4. There are some Utilities for FSX can do such practice (fstakeofftrainer10,FSiPanel,ect..),by simconnect and some of the addon aircraft for FS9 too(PMDG,LDS,ect..) I wander if there is any Utilities for FS9 to fail one for the engine when hit a per-set IAS, use FS9's own failure system or FSUIPC?
  5. Hello all: I was hoping some of you out there might be able to provide me with a little bit of knowledge that I haven't had much luck finding elsewhere! Last night, Engine #3 randomly failed with the ENG 3 FAIL EICAS warning despite no failures being set - just a werid little hiccup I've never experienced before. My question is not so much as to why that happened, but: 1) Fuel - is there a procedure to follow with the engines failed as far as fuel management goes. I was in tank-to-engine configuration when the engine failed, and had to do a lot of switching pumps on and off when the engine failed to try and keep fuel even between the tanks. I know that British Airways crew a few years ago that flew over the Atlantic on three engines after losing an engine after take-off at LAX ended up with uneven fuel due to not knowing/poor training in the correct procedure. Unfortunately, I don't know what the correct one is either - I thought the procedure was to turn on/open all pumps and cross-feed valves? Maybe I'm mistaken? Do any of you chaps know the correct procedure, or is it a matter of simply fiddling from time to time to keep it even? 2) FMC ENG OUT CRZ page- I have done a bit of forum searching on the matter, but couldn't find much conclusive: a) In your experiences (or if PMDG know that would be great!), is the ENG OUT function of the CRZ page accurate when it gives the MAX/OPT ALT? My aircraft was ~290,000kg and could definitely not maintain the ENG OUT OPT of FL340. In fact, it could only barely maintain FL300 with thrust set to CON. TAT/OAT seemed fine. b ) I cannot seem to execute the ENG OUT page when I press on it - I believe the real-world FMC you execute it. Is this possible with this model? c) When I switch to another FMC page and then back to the FMC CRZ page, it doesn't say ENG OUT anymore. The weird thing is that even although it makes no reference to being ENG OUT anymore, it still gives MAX/OPT altitudes lower than it would for a flight with four engines. If I press ENG OUT again, it gives an OPT ALT of about FL180. I imagine that would be if you were on two engines. So essentially, what I am asking is - does the FMC CRZ page automatically switch to three-engine figures once an engine has failed, and pressing the ENG OUT actually shows two-engine figures? 3) When would a 747-400 pilot use aileron trim? Would they normally use only rudder trim for an engine failure? I realise some of these questions are fairly technical - hopefully someone at PMDG might be in the know, or some of you rather knowledgeable forum members! Thanks in advance for any help you could offer. It just goes to show - the sim is still capable of surprising and challenging me even after a few years. Thanks in advance again. Cheers, Rudy PS don't know if it makes any difference - but I have the FS9 PAX version of the 744. It has all the updates installed - which I believe brings it in-line with the FSX 744 and 744F in terms of updates etc.?
