Fuel pressure
Hi, I was just flying a Hurricane online (ATAG server) - took off, climbed to 12000' , circled for 15 or so minutes and got into an extended turning game with another lone aircraft which eventually lost me (not sure if it was even an enemy or not, didn't get that close) after which I spotted a flight of Wellingtons on their way to France, with 109s in tow so climbed up, keeping an eye back for the one that lost me, when I got close to the bombers, my engine started spluttering, temps all good, oil pressure good, rpm fine, fuel pressure 0? hang on a minute? while I was pondering that a 109 latched on to my six so just before he fired I pulled back hard on the stick, my engine died completely and put me into a rather violent flat spin. did about 25 revolutions before I could get the nose down without power, and stayed in the dive until I was sure and thankful the 109 guy had not given chase. now I was roughly in the middle of the channel at about 7500' and fuel pressure was still 0. Aiming for England, I cycled the magnetos and fuel and ignition and after about the 4th time, bang, fuel pressure jumped up and she roared into life @ 5000'. Then I humbly flew home and landed (still with nearly full tanks) but a little bit too worried about my aircraft to carry on with it.
I have recently turned the damage display off, so does anyone here have any idea what might have caused this? blockage in the fuel line? is that simulated?
I learned the CEM by trial and error so I might be doing something wrong regarding mixture etc... would appreciate any pointers.
Regards,
Sam.
