Yeah this can happen sometimes when using two fingers on the touch screen. Sometimes I put the brakes on but it doesn’t register me turning them off so if I stop while taxiing you know why :)
I’ve had that as well. Many times.
I also overshot the stop line at the gate because of it, but you can’t miss that. I totally missed the engine in this case.
Haha if my aircraft doesn’t gain speed as quick as it usually does I always check the engines, once I only had one on but noticed immediately that it wasn’t speeding up as quick and it turned on just in time for rotation 😂 after it happens once you usually get into the habit of checking them.
Great story it happened to me too last month or so I was heading out of KORD with the DC 10 I thought I had everything right as soon as I took off I got zero lift and crashed , so I retried again and same thing. I than noticed I only had two engines running . Lessons learned even from a seasoned infinite flyer myself ! Checklists is awesome as well as ifinite assistant!
Similarly, when the engine start up feature came into place and disabled the auto start on spawn, I didn’t realise at first and spent ages trying to work out why the volume wasn’t working on the device. It was, though, and the engines were just off.
Same thing happened to me few weeks back when I was doing KLAS -EGKK. I was wondering why my 747 was taxiing so slow. Turns out Engines 3 and 4 were off 😅😔
😂 Don’t worry about it. I made the same mistake a few times as well. First thing that I do when I take off is check my N1. If its orange, then something is off. Either too much power or an engine off. Just a little tip.
Okay, lemme tell you a little story on casual. I’m pushing back, and tap the right engine to turn on. It works
I enter the taxiway, and turn on the other, or so I thought. I had actually tapped the other engine and turned off both engines. I was in a CRJ, and I look behind me, and I see a 747 going 40 GS right towards my tail. I swear. People really tryna reproduce aircraft
This is intresting topic. My story in this case is I was flying all day, had done LAX-SJC-DAL and was on my way to San Diego. I always fly for Southwest so I fly professionaly. So you know all my flights were good and everything until the DAL-SAN flight. Before the flight I had made sure everything was right I triple checked and I had up to 4:30 minutes of fuel more than enough just incase. So im cruising near Phoenix just east at the time, and Im monotering the fuel and stuff when I see that engine number 1 turned off. So I was like ok maybe an bug, I attempt to restart and everything goes wrong. That cut my fuel about 2hrs short so now I had 45 minutes of fuel left and I was about an hour out from LAX and there was atc in SoCal that day so I decided to not head that way just incase and instead diverted to PHX. At this point I was NW of PHX and had to act quickly. Luckily I managed to get on the ground safely. So my first emergency landing and engine failure in IF went well lol. Long story short I never found out what caused the issue lol
