My Friends,
I have Maddog about 1.5 year and I have a lot of time flying with this plane and know many things about hot start engines, how much thrust need for take off,... BUT about this problem I don't know how to solve it. I start a flight. Engines start, taxi and take off done normally and after that between my flight the fuel is enough for my flight (in climb, cruise, descend) suddenly one (Sometimes two) of my engines shutdown without any warning or fire,...! I also set the failure rate in Failure Configuration in the load manager to NEVER but it happened to me again! How it happened and how can I stop it? Is it a bug or something I don't know about Maddog? It doesn't happen every time and It happen sometimes. Any help? |

Hi, No it is not a bug, when you fly at high altitude, your fuel is becoming too cold and the fuel filters are clogging. To avoid this, just reheat periodically your fuel filters (spring loaded switches on the overhead). You can visualise the fuel temp on the top of the engines control panel. -------------------- Regards,

Thanks,  I will try to see what happen in my next flights. This post has been edited by Vahid: 22/06/2012, 12:08 |
