now that i know how to read gauges and ive tried to pass tiger hun on sim with one life my p-51 keep losing all the fuel pressure even tough i havent been hit i hope it just a glitch but it seems impossible to pass it with one life because of this, the spitfire doesnt seem to have this anyone passed it with one life??

One life seems really hard, because you only have 20 shots. First target you already need to take out 5. And it aint easy to hit them!

And yea i also dont know what is goin on with that fuel pressure.

i have no problems with getting targets, u only need to destroy 5 heavy arty and the five tanks then the train my problem is by the time i get to tanks my fuel presure is going down steadely and dont have energy to fight the squad of fw190s, and then i find my self wreaking cant even set her down....

A plane isn't going to start loosing oil pressure for no reason. Look behind you and see if there is smoke, remember that there is a lot of flack in the air during that mission, so while you might not think you have been hit, you probably have been.

[SleepTrgt]

Nah no smoke when im losing fuel pressure! and even getting hit by flak should get your attention and then there is always the damage indicator next to your map!

So yea the plane is losing the pressure by it self, but it might be just because of heavy manuevers!

I suppose if you are pushing the engine to its limits then you might blow something. Try not using WEP too much and maybe maintaining flight with flaps set to combat, to reduce the amount of force needed to produce lift. That IS strange though.

Has anyone else experienced this or is it isolated with you two???

[SleepTrgt]

Unlimited fuel
But i think its just over use of WEP.

I remember at least 2 times that the engine stopped working. These were long missions. One battling the enemy planes, the other i was trying to fly as high as possible. That time the engine stopped at 7000m(?? i dont recall, seems very high, but i remember being surprised)

Anyway, i assumed that i simply had run out of fuel. But could be that 'oil pressure thingy'

Well I had my engine stopped in Dover but it was due to damages.

Was it in sim mode or another one ?
