Engine failure

First of all: A wonderful and extremely nice flightsim-model. But after approx. 5 minutes flight both engines stops, and I'm not able to start them again. Plenty of fuel, fuel pumps are working, no warning signs. And suddenly both engines are dead. I have tried flying manually , with autopilot (and autothrottle (!) within FSTramp). In all cases I experience a complete loss of power...
Have any of you had similars problems ?
I use P3Dv4.4 .

Are you remembering to pull the prop levers down to reduce the prop RPM after takeoff? Can't let them run for any great length of time in the RED zone.
 
Make sure you turned on the generators and that you have sufficient fuel. Also, proper engine management is a must with Manfred's C-47 and C-117D. Abuse the engines and they will quit.
 
Beautiful plane .

There is 1 thing i dont understand though.
I switched the warning signs too test and now they wont go back to the default stage .
They all keep burning like a christmas tree .:dizzy:
