theophile 2 Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Hi, I accidentally shut down an engine inflight.I tried to restart it,but to no avail.Does anyone know what the procedure is to restart an engine inflight?And has anyone been able to do so in this simulation aircraft?I landed the aircraft without any problems on 3 engines but next time I would really like to be able to restart the engine.So,if anyone has any knowledge about doing so in this Aerosoft DC-8,please let me know. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have restarted one engine in flight before. I think I did it using bleed air from the other three engines. It's been a few months so it is hard for me to remember, but I'm pretty sure I simply used the normal start procedure, and luckily with three running engines I had enough air to start the one engine. A true "air start" would be if you didn't have sufficient bleed air, correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theophile 2 Posted March 30, 2019 Author Share Posted March 30, 2019 That is very interesting.I did try the normal procedure with bleed air from the other engines(bleed air valve open,pneumatics from the other engines on high) but it did not work.I will try to recreate this in one of my future flights.Thanks for the update Mace!

It's unrealistic, but what I have been doing is setting a command to FSUIPC Autostart Engine (non engine specific) trigger the command and then type 1-4. The fuel system seems glitchy and the outboard mains have run dry because they were feeding their respective wing engines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure how you got it to do this. I have 0 N2 rotation in flight in a speed enveloper of 200-350 KIAS between 5000MSL-FL300. Couple we get a fuel tank fix or atleast the ability to air start these engines correctly? I would prefer both as you should be able to Airstart and X-Feed at the very least, I would also prefer to be able to X-Feed or fill the tanks as desired. @Michael2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, I just tried, no restart in flight. But OK as the 737 Microsoft..Ctrl + E and it's OK (not very realistic) LOL !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
