Still happening with me as well.
It seems to be a game screen focus thing.
For instance having a second monitor running with a browser opened if I alt tab to that it will trigger the engine shutting down as well as other activities that change the focus away from the game.
This will happen with other aircraft as well.
So I have to hit CTRL E to restart the engine.
Very easy to repeat.
Just to add to this after reading another post, Cessna 172 engine randomly stops in free flight mode
when this is happening, i checked the fuel valve and sure enough, it had closed.
I checked to see if a key was bound to this and it’s blank.
As I stated to the above post this is happening to other prop aircraft as well, although I haven’t had a chance to re-check if it is the fuel valve being randomly closed.
I keep going into the forever spin mode when trying to start a new mission:
Also, the fuel doesn’t go into the aircraft anymore. This ■■■■ thing is broke!
To date, this problem seems to have stopped for me.
I have changed nothing in the sim or my peripherals.
Fingers crossed the problem has been sorted.
Change fuel selector to “all”
Still have the problem with all Cessnas…despite following the advices found here…
For IMMERSION, you will have a very SHORT “CAREER” if you do not use your “Check List” when learning to fly.
When you leave the plane, you are expected to turn the fuel cut-off valve to one tank (to stop flue flowing between tanks). so it follow when you enter the plane for a new flight , you should find the fuel cut-off valve set to one tank only ( assuming the last one to fly the plane, shut it down correctly)
Part of the “Engine Start” Checklist, is to check the fuel tank selector valve, and make sure it is in the BOTH position.
So maybe its not so much a BUG, as a Realistic Feature , and a lesson well learnt,
Avionics - Off
Fuel tank - Both
Throttle - 10%
Mixture - Full Lean (0%)
Park Brakes - Set
Standby battery - On, verify working (Not USA C172SP)
Master switches - On
Beacon Light - On
Mixture - Full Rich (100%)
Ignition - Start
Nice detail / feature Asobo !!
Nope… What I did was not push the mixture to rich on decent and halfway across the ocean crossing to inland. Again… pilot error. But very realistic engine failure. I’m impressed with it. Even made audible valve noise that got progressively worse as the scenario played out. I should have caught it when I was franticly trying to restart the engine but I was rounding final.
Same this happens too me how do you fix it??
Clear weather, level flight, fuel selector set to ALL, plenty of fuel — it’s programmer error, not pilot error.
For those having fuel issues.
I have bound keys F&U (Fill up) to ‘add fuel’.
This adds 25% to your tanks.
Works in flight too.
i had the same problem today , after 200 km of flight with autopilot i was on 2300 feet there was no more power to engine , i could’nt add power to it , the only way to solve the problem i found was to press the key to jump straight to landing session , and i only got 800 euros when the mission said it was paying 6000

thank you , and thanks to this post i found out that i had to turn the tank selector to both now i solved the problem , i also set K key to add fuel , but i think it does’nt works anymore when you fly your own aircraft works only when you fly a mission where you are employee
I am also encountering this issue of running out of fuel enroute and starving engine in the C172 when doing my cargo missions for my own company. and I am SU1 obviously. wasn’t this fixed? I see the L/R low fuel message on the screen in amber but the gauges tell me all green, fuel pump on. I even tried to set quite some additional fuel through the EFB but seemingly still to no avail? Only cure is using ALT-N to teleport to arrival airport, for whatever reason that starts the engine again an let me land safely, just cutting me off my well deserved earnings. I am alone by now or do others see this behaviour, too?
For me It seems connected to the old Logitech throttle wire that connects to the yoke instead of the usb once you get something to the wire plug in bit to stand on while connected to the hub it and not come lose causing random engine shutoffs
Thank you! A real life saver!
