  1. Good day ya'all. 

    Had my first MSFS A310 emergency experience yesterday. For whatever reason ran out of fuel, resulting in dual engines flameout. I decided to  play the "Gimli glider" scenario and try to land. But to my surprise the moment the engines flamed out the aircraft lost control, went into a right side bank and unrecoverable nose down dive and subsequenty crashed. I helplessly watched all that in horror from the "reality" of my VR set while keeping the stick and rudder yanked in the opposite direction in a desperate attempt to save the day... 💀

    Here's my 2 cents and question. I would assume, in such scenario the hydraulics should be able to provide at least for some time enough pressure to maintain controlability. AFAIK the A310 is equipped with a RAT which should deploy automatically and provide hyd pressure for one of the systems powering the FCS. Or at least that's what I thought.

    So the question is, the crash as described is due to systems not being fully developed and/or implemented or I should have done something prior to the engines flameout?
