Engine stall on takeoff

Hi @ArcanePython931
I have had a peculiar situation occur to me, it is the following: either once I take off from the airport , or, if I start flying over a city, about half a minute later, it systematically stops the engine. It is not lack of fuel. I have as joystick a Saitek X52 Pro, and as I had already assigned the functions programmed by the Sin designers, I have not changed those functions. I usually fly in “ready to fly”.
Surely I have modified something unintentionally, what can it be, what circumstances produce this anomaly.
I look forward to your advice. Best regards: Delfin

It may be a pain, but I’d reset your X52 back to default in the controller options. After that, reassign functions as needed.

Hi @SpottedAxis7643 , I’m afraid I’ll have little to add here, except you may consider testing the keys on your keyboard, for reviving your throttle when it fails… You can find the keys that work with a Search for THROTTLE in the Keyboard settings.

There is also a default key combination Control E that starts the engine. Check that too.

If keys work, revise your controller assignments in Options ! You should assign the same functions. I cannot help with that… @tclayton is the expert on controls settings, I guess… not me. Anyway success with solving the issue. :+1:

Make sure you did not accidentally activate failures.

It can happen if you have the Lean function assigned to joystick for flying piston engines aircraft. You need to unassign this function for turbine engine aircraft as it shuts of fuel. Unless they fixed it this is what happend to me soon after MS2020 was released

Hi @tclayton2k, @ArcanePython931, @ITDreamFly and @SierraHotel2873
I thank you for your effort in solving my problem.
I was making a special effort to remember something specific that I had done that caused this engine stoppage. Thinking and thinking, I remembered that I had tried a motor stop “Shift + Ctrl + E” with the keyboard, and the motor stopped.
When I started another flight, that worked and I don’t remember exactly when it failed again. Then it would systematically fail. After thinking and thinking (and with the help of your messages), I remembered that that engine stop could be the cause. I went to fly and it also stopped, I applied: Ctrl + E, and … it took a few seconds, but it started the engine again with the consequent satisfaction. Problem solved, folks. To all: thank you very much.
Kind regards: Delfin

Now I present another small difficulty:
When I put my previous message in the Forum, to the right of my written message, there were other problems very similar to mine raised in the Forum, but I could not find the answers to these problems. How can I read the answers of the problems that other partners have already raised?

I await your answers.

Regards: Delfin

Well, you could use the looking glass on the top right, to do a search for your “simular problems”?

@Steinways it’s easy to find similar problems on this forum, not always to find actual answers… I think SpottedAxis rised a very valid (off topic) point there. A solution would be, to have a larger search screen with a second column, where submits marked as solution can be shown.
