EHM-1651 Christian:
My number two engine shutdown in flight, and now I can't get it started again.
I have tried all sorts off fuel configs but it seems it won't give the engine fuel anymore??

Any ideas?

EHM-1001 Robert:
Just seen an Air Crash Investigation episode on NGC. Engine 4 stopped on a 747 and they could not restart it on FL350. It is said, it is normal. They should descend to FL100 for a successfull engine start.

Is not it possible that you cannot restart engine on cruise level in PMDG ? I am just guessing, have not tried emergency situations...

EHM-1001 Robert:
I tried a manual shutting down with Fuel Valve on FL350. It gave me an error message on EICAS, to descend to FL250. But when I turned on Continous Ignition and Both starters buttons, I could spin it up mid-flight even at high altitude. I did not changed any fuel config.

I do not know if it is a real simulation, but it just worked. Also it is important on the ground to shut down air bleed while engine is started.

EHM-1651 Christian:
It shut down at the same time as the CTR fueltank was empty and i swithced off the fuel pumps, I decended down to 25000ft and tried to restart sevral times, got the engine running but i got no fuel, no matter how I configured the fuelsystem.

I need to do some research here......:%
