Are engine fires a thing in MSFS?

I know you can turn on a specific failure but can you have failures be random and have the engines catch on fire?

There are addons to achieve this but nothing built within the sim at this time.

Both the DA40 NGX and the DA62X mods will catch fire if you keep the throttles wide open for too long. No flames just smoke, and then you ned to do an emergency landing.

Oh thank you for this info! This makes these planes interesting to fly just like the PMDG Cloudmaster. :slight_smile:

And now I got curious if the Cloudmaster can have engine fires too (so far I had only engine failures because of overboosting and overloading BMEP) and will ask about this topic in the PMDG forum.

Well we will see…

From that movie Memphis Belle we all know how to extinguish such an engine fire by the book:
Not pressing the fire extinguisher button but by descending so fast until the propellers howl like the siren of a StuKa when getting close to Mach 1 one or two thousand feet above ground during the nose-dive :smiley:
