During a multiplayer flight my mate and I experienced a blackout when reaching ~30,000 feet even though we had put the masks on, the oxygen valves were open and the oxygen supply was sufficient. There was not much of a warning (i.e. heavy breathing, pumping zoom) until about a few seconds before the screen went black. I could recreate that behavior in single player mode and it seems to happen with all models. Is that a bug?

On the front dash, underneath the flaps (or somewhere around there), did you set the oxygen supply to your current altitude?

Actually I, didn't and it seems it isn't mentioned in the manuals. But it certainly explains the problem. Thanks! ;)

EDIT: ah, it's in the Accusim Manual indeed. Sorry about that. RTFM! :? :oops: :roll: :D

Yes guys,

the oxygen supply is "constant flow" and the old maskes are not airtight...so less pressure outside lets more oxygen escape from the mask...less for you to breathe.
