Mixture Cutoff

Post by asriubas »

Hello everyone!

I recently purchased the Lockheed Constellation and I am very much enjoying it. However, when I have the Flight Engineer enabled, and he is doing his stuff, the mixtures go from the auto rich position to cut off when I start the engines. I go through the normal procedures, inertia, prime, start(three turns), magnetos. When the Flight Engineer says oil pressure ok, I bring the mixture to auto rich and everything is fine. I turn the primer off and the engine runs normally for about 10 seconds until the mixture is brought all the way back to cutoff and the engine stops. I have to restart the engine and this happens again. When I start the engine without the flight engineer, the engine is constantly fluctuating in RPM and I constantly hear "oil pressure is rising" and "oil pressure is ok" over and over again. I'm following all of the procedures in the manual and I don't know what to do. Is this a bug or something? Thank you!

Hello Alex and welcome.

Please can you check that "auto-mixture" isn't enabled in the realism settings of the sim. If this setting is disabled and the problem persists, please can you let us know which sim platform you're using.

Thanks,
