Nah i have it all the time, Its losing Fuel pressure, many reported this already.
I started checking the gauges fuel stays high, its just fuel pressure thats dropping.
I still dont know why this is happening.

This isn't happening to me... then again, I finish these missions kind of quickly. I'll see if I can make it last a little longer and see if my plane starts to drop and I'll keep an eye on the gauges

Just go dogfight, 1 life. and try kill as much 190's
I even let myself get spotted at the start just to spawn an additional flight of 190's making it a total of 28 190's in the mission. Made it out couple of times.
But often my engine fails, could be after 40 mins or after 15 mins.

Do you have WEP engaged? You can burn out your engine if you use it too long, at least that's the case in most sims I've played.

No tested it many times Engine can get damaged like that without using WEP or getting hit.

Ok i went in flying around doin lots of G's for 40 minutes, engine didnt got any problems. Then 5 minutes of WEP and it lost power, so indeed be carefull with WEP.

But personally i was already being carefull with WEP hardly using it.
So i will try and figure out other reasons why the engine could die.

Edit: Flew above flak for a while, nothing happend.
I did notice however, if throttle is around 100% it can go into WEP without boosting the plane, still damaging the plane.
This only happens using a flight stick ofcourse. Makes me wonder everyone who has problems with the engine is using a Flight stick?

So this finally happened to me (shocking right), to me it felt like a mechanical error. About 15 min before, my wingman told me to check my oil... I did... nothing unusual (I don't think) and then preceded to engage the enemies over the trains. Got into some dogfights, wasn't hit, got some awesome kills B) and then my engine died on a REALLY hard low-yoyo trying to kill my target. Out of the yoyo, the engine died, I took it into a dive where it ALMOST started back up... but didn't..... and I couldn't land it in the frozen river :/ ... I don't feel like this is a glitch. This is very powerful engine that can get pushed past its limits.
