For backstory, i was doing some basic A.I dogfights, me in a non-funky-tree'd Mirage 2000(except for the guns and missiles), VS a knockoff F-14.
to cut straight to the point, we merge, i'm going about 600mph, F-14 probably 850mph. I climb and get higher to drop some extra speed and right as my nose is coming back down my fuel immediately drops to 0% from 90% and my engine kicks off. The F-14, being an A.I Idiot, was too low and dove down, just hitting the water. After the 'successful' dogfight i fly off to an opening to see if i can land it(i do this after almost every dogfight) and my fuel returns, but this time my engine's flame is black rather than orange. there was no sustained damage to my Mirage and i've never seen this happen before on any aircraft. If there's somebody that can explain this, please do. No, i don't have footage, my computer's too potato to run a capture software at the same time as funny physics game(SP).
@Puflamez lol
@FujiwaraAutoShop the same thing happened to me while I was dogfighting my a6m Corsair (yes I combined two planes not a spelling mistake) vs the ingame mustang, the fuel suddenly dropped to 0 for a good 30 seconds, the whole 30 seconds I was free falling and gliding, I managed to recover after my engine restarted, it was weird but kind of fun, I think it is related to the fuel tanks though because it happened shortly after I dropped fuel tanks and bombs, sorry this comment is long I just wanted to share my experience with the glitch
@FujiwaraAutoShop Dropping the tanks could explain that
@IceCraftGaming nope, just the fuel went out. No damage to the engine. I did drop my tanks beforehand and they caught on fire, rather than exploding on impact with the ground. Maybe that had something to do with it? Also the mirage isn't all too maneuverable, not as much as some other vehicles i have like a Su-27.
Can confirm this is a bug. On my old aircraft with infinite fuel, this happened sometimes
Probably a bug
Could it have been possible that you maneuvered too much and broke the engine in the process?
