Newb - Aircraft won't start
-
I am a totally idiot when it comes to this stuff. But I also just want to fly.
I did one successful flight, then I started a second from the airport I was already at, engine died mid flight. I restarted the flight, turned off all failures because I don't want that. Can't get the engine to start. I just want to fly. I don't care about realism of gas and a turbo prop and all that right now. I just want to fly the $40 plane I bought.
Please help, I know I'm a dumb newbie.

Since you said the engine shut down mid-flight, I assume we're talking about the Turbine Bonanza? I imagine you might have kept the throttle fully forward so the torque was well beyond the redline, which will cause the engine to self-destruct quite quickly. After your previous flight, did you reset the engine condition on the tablet's engine visualizer?

Look, I get your eagerness to fly, but all BlackSquare aircraft are professional-grade. They're complex. It would be good of you to read some of the manuals. They're very instructive and will definitely help you get to grips with the basics of the systems. It might seem a bit intimidating for those without much experience (which seems to be your case) but with a little dedication, it all works out. Good luck!
