Created on 5 Oct 2020  路  9Comments  路  Source: flybywiresim/a32nx


Mod Version

latest master, but also on previous versions.
Since the latest 1.9.3.0 release.

Describe the bug

See the video below. N2 and engine temperatures suddenly drop and both engines fail.
Tried with and without anti icing. and with and without icing settings in the settings.

To Reproduce


I got it first once like 3 days ago on a different flight, restarted the flight and it worked without issues.
But today I restarted this flight like 5 times and it would happen around the 8 minute mark after takeoff.

  1. start a flight from EDDF to EHAM. Low altitude airways. Gate A18 Medium direct to direct ILS 27. Fuel at 9% and sky conditions high level clouds.
  2. start from cold and dark get jetway baggage catering and taxi to runway 25C.
  3. take off turn on autopilot follow altitudes and set throttle CLB.

Expected behavior

The engines shouldn't fail.

Actual behavior

They fail.

Additional context

Livery Ryan Air. AI traffic and ground aircraft off
will test next without the livery.
UPDATE: still the same problem without any liveries.

Was this working before/when did the issue start occurring?
it was working before.

Is this a problem in the vanilla unmodded game?
not sure. I will do more testing.
UPDATE: i tried same settings with the plain vanilla game and the left engine dies on me shortly after startup.

updated, thank you.

Update: I think it may be related to fuel. When I start with 9% engines always fail around 6%. And today when i almost ran out of fuel during a long flight i increased it to like 12% until i almost ran out again and nothing happened. But when i increased it again to like 5% the engines immediately failed.

Had this happen twice myself, it looked like fuel issue indeed.

Had this happen twice as well, both when on approach after short haul flight (LFPG to EGLL with 12% fuel at takeoff). Engines fail and all displays go black. Displays turn back on with APU. FCU input still works and plane follows correct navigation and approach until the plane can no longer maintain lift.

I had the same issue twice now - it always happens for me when the inner wing tanks run empty, fuel from outer wings is there but unaccessible. Also crossfeed is not working if only one of the inner tanks run empty (turning the pump off in the empty tank does not fill it when crossfeed and other pumps are enabled)

@ChrisDeadman so the issue has moved from the center tank to the inner wing tanks after the patch. Interesting..

@NickyNiclas When I tested I had center tank always empty, fuel only in inner and outer wing tanks

Just had this happen to myself as well, no way to bleed fuel from the outer tanks to the inner tanks and the engines shut off even with both outer tanks full as soon as the inner tanks go to empty. I always fly with center tank empty so that's out of the equation here.
