Multiple Engine Failure ( all engines fail at once)

[ohboy710]

This happens to be quite often. At least once a week or so I am in flight at various times, and all of my engines just shutoff. Doesn't matter if I
have a 2 engine plane, 3 or 4.. they just suddenly all turn off. I can then immediately re-start them no problem with CTRL E, but still I wanted to
know if this is a bug or by design. It only happens when I am using FSPassengers and not when I am just playing in regular Simulator X. If this is
considered a failure, it seems a bit unrealistic to have all the engines stop at the same time.

Are you sure u have efficient fuel on board?

What Airplane do u use? Might help, if there is a glitch on that airplane.

If u think it is a glitch in FSPX, then re-install the program. (make a backup first of course!)

Are you sure you are using the right fuel tanks?
sometimes I forget to set tanks correctly, once I almost crashed my DC-3 because I left both engines in the auxiliary tanks.

I am sure it has nothing to do with the fuel. I have fuel in all my tanks when this happens, and it's completely random. It happens on every
aircraft at completely different times, different altitudes, and different speeds. Just all of a sudden, every engine starts to spool down... but as
long as I am watching I can quickly do a Ctrl E and they restart one by one.

I did a reinstall of fspassengers and it still happens. It does NOT happen however when I am using FSX without fspassengers running

I have figured out why this happens. I don't know why, but for some reason if I fill up both the center tanks and the wing tanks, when the center
takes runs dry, the engines shut off. I then have to restart the engines and it works fine on the wing tanks. Any idea why this happens?
