on the Patagonia bush trip the engine of the x-club suddenly fails. The oil PSI flashes red. Is there any key combination to fix that and keep flying?

This exact issue happened to me when I first flew the Patagonia trip.
The only remedy I know of it is to bind the “Repair and Refuel” command to a key (I used F12).
I then pressed F12 before setting off at every stop.

By your left thigh.

Yeah this is something to watch out for! Gotta manually switch those tanks.
I got a 7.5 hour flight yesterday out of an X-Cub! And I probably could have squeezed one more hour out of her too before running out of gas.

thanks to all of you … I think I got it now.
you should know the basic functions of every aircraft before you fly it any longer

I don’t know if you already found it, but if you look above and behind your head on either side in the X-Cub you’ll see the fuel sighting tubes. That’s how you keep track of how much gas you have (unless you want to cheat and see the percentage in external view :-D). I generally switch the tanks back and forth as they decrease to keep the aircraft balanced.
