ISSUE DESCRIPTION
Description of the issue:
The fuel valve and mixture are randomly pulled mid flight causing the engine to shut off. Manually pushing them in again makes the engine start. This can happen several times during a flight.
This happens in cruise with autopilot on and I’m not touching any controls.
I have verified that no keybinds exist on any of my peripherals related to the fuel valve. The only related keybind I have is the default bravo throttle mixture lever.
If applicable, which aircraft is experiencing this issue:
Cessna 172 G1000, have not tried the other variants.
[PC Only] Did you remove all your community mods/add-ons? If yes, are you still experiencing the issue?
Yes
FREQUENCY OF ISSUE
How often does this occur for you (Example: Just once, every time on sim load, intermittently)?
Intermittently. It’s nearly every flight and it seems random when it happens during the flight. Some flights I’ve had it happen only once, my last flight it happened something like 5-6 times one immediately after the other, and then a few more times throughout the flight.
REPRODUCTION STEPS
Please list clear steps you took in order to help our test team reproduce the same issue:
I’m not sure what exactly is causing this and it seems to be intermittent, these are rough steps I took on my last flight. They may or may not be important to the bug.
- Load a flight in free flight (in my case, ESOE to ESOW)
- Start with C172 G1000 cold and dark, make sure mixture is fully in and fuel is on “both” tanks and fuel valve is pushed in before starting engine.
- Prepare flightplan and autopilot in the G1000
- Take off and upon reaching safe altitude enable the autopilot in NAV+ALT mode
- Sit back, enjoy the view
- Suddenly fuel valve and mixture is pulled / shutoff, engine dies
- Push them back in, engine starts
- Rinse and repeat until you land
Again, I’m not sure what’s really triggering this so it may happen only once, may happen multiple times during the flight or maybe not even at all. I hope more people can test and chime in with their experience to narrow down the exact steps.

Screenshot of the fuel valve and mixture pulled during flight, unfortunately I don’t have a video of it which would probably be more helpful.
