After some 200-odd flights, I think I might have just sufferred my first failure..
This is how I ended up coming into Shannon :shock: First, engine 3 cut and as I was doing my cool, calm, headless chicken routine trying to start it.. engine 4 died :curse: I did manage to relight engine 3 as you can see but No.4 refused to light. Surprising just how much 3 big props will fight to keep you off the centreline!!
Having a quick natter to John, he wondered if it were 'sim' induced (eg.. a fuel starvation problem as can happen with the Viscount) but I've flown this particular route with the same fuel (7300kg) out of Manchester on numerous occassions and this is the first time it's happened. It cannot be a similar prob to the Viscount as I rarely take much more than this fuel onboard for any flight and I'd need to load up in excess of 11548kg before the outer tanks started taking fuel. I generally land with around 4tonnes remaining (in case of emergencies e t c) and shutdown at Shannon was no different.. 4210kg onboard.
So.. is this beware fellow simmers or has my pc just had a bad day??
