I found that by diluting the fuel with oil at high altitudes (a.k.a. VERY cold), it brings the pressure back down and the engine does not fail. Works every time for me.

P.S. Reflected, have you gotten around to fixing the level 1 objectives in The Big Show yet? I shot down a 190 and lived to land back at base - but I was a disgrace to my country.

"Right hand selector" function "On/Off" (or Close/Open valve) is not simulated yet, if it is in Off position, still engine takes fuel from external fuel tank.

 

Just to note, I think Off position is simulated now (if it wasn't before).

 

With both "Main Fuel Cock" and "Drop Tank Fuel Cock" off, engine stops.

Turning either one On makes engine run again.

 

Conditions: Under 10K feet (no aeration or pressure complications) with slipper tank. Fuel pump on. With Fuel pump off a little wobble is needed before engine starts again.
