Can someone please tell me how to do this, particularly when I have a bleed air warning.

I had a funny experience with this the other night I was flying the final approach to the carrier when I got a caution and lost the port engine (I hadn't taken any combat damage, must have been a random failure), because I didn't know how to shut it down I just kept flying the approach. Just as my wheels were about to hit the deck the whole aircraft blew up.

I completed the mission but lost the pilot I had kept alive through the whole campaign (only a few missions from the end). Funny thing was when I flew the next mission, the fire was still burning on the deck, even though my flight had apparently managed to land after me.

I really don't want this to happen again so any help would be appreciated.

You're a legend thanks. I suspected it was something easy.

Cheers

Hi BlackDog
Just had to say hi. You made me look when you called shadow a ledg. Only us southies use that kind of language. Looks like the broncos will take out the nrl again.

G'Day Grover,

They'll win for sure, although I'm more an AFL and Union man myself (sorry 'bout the Bledisloe, but could you ask for two better games!?!?!)

Good to see a bit of ANZAC spirit on the board.

Cheers,

Black Dog
