 Do you have a double assignment in your key bindings where A and E have crossed paths?

I would go with Adam’s suggestion,  I was having no problem last night, switching between the bombsight view and cockpit view (“auto” kicks in, when in bombsight mode).

Autopilot turned on or turned off?  I always lose engine power when I start on autopilot and turn it off in Allied planes. Reason is mixture.  The game does not auto set mixture for you when you come out of autopilot.  You stat on the ground full rich, go to auto pilot, climb to altitude, come out of autopilot and your mixture is wrong and the engine cuts out.

 

Solution is to set mixture to something in between before engaging auto pilot.  This way when you come out it may not be ideal but it won't be so far off as to cut out the engine.

 

Anyhow, that's what happens to me.  My or may not be what you are experiencing.

My key bindings seem to be ok.  Ill take a look at the engine mixtures, It cuts out when autopilot is turned on. It just happens in Flying Circus, the other modules are fine.

Pat, it was the mixture.  I had it set to auto, I put it to manual  and set it .  Problem solved...
