After putting in fuel, the engine won't start.@camera-y4mOn ItzVexo’s beginner guide

01
Repair
Work through the starting part prompts before expecting the plane to move.
02
Refuel
Check your fuel before departure and keep supplies in mind when you choose a stop.
03
Fly
Learn pitch and throttle separately. Small corrections are easier to understand.
04
Explore
Search abandoned places, gather useful supplies and keep the aircraft working.
A useful distinction
Running engine. Stationary plane.
That is a different problem from failed ignition. Check throttle and the parking brake before going back to the engine.

What is A Long Flight?
A Long Flight is an early-access Roblox survival game by VSC Games. You repair an old aircraft, gather fuel and supplies, explore a desert and try to keep your journey going.
Official game descriptionWhy do repairs and supplies matter?
The aircraft is your way across the desert. Repairing it, keeping it fuelled and searching abandoned locations are part of the survival loop described by the developer. Flying is one part of the journey; keeping the aircraft usable is another.
Read the developer’s descriptionHow do you get started?
Follow the starting repair prompts, check fuel and enter the pilot seat. Hold M for ignition. Check the parking brake, add throttle with Shift and use a gentle S input to lift the nose once you have built speed. Our first-flight guide breaks down each step.
Follow the first-flight checklistWhere should you check for changes?
Use the VSC Games Roblox experience page and the prompts in your current game session. This is an independent PC keyboard guide. The game is still in development, so controls and mechanics can change.

Questions actually raised by players. We link to the original comment and separate verified guidance from open questions.
Collected from public player threads · Reviewed 27 October 2026.Why won’t the engine start after I add fuel?
Fuel alone does not establish that the aircraft is ready. Check that you are in the pilot seat, hold M rather than tapping it, and finish any outstanding repair prompts. If the engine already runs but the aircraft stays still, check throttle and the parking brake instead. These checks help isolate the symptom; they are not a confirmed diagnosis of the commenter’s aircraft.
See the engine troubleshooting checklistAsked by @camera-y4m on YouTubeHow do you fix contaminated oil?
We have not verified a reliable fix for contaminated oil in this game. The question appears in a player’s comment, but the sources checked do not establish a tested drain or replacement procedure. Read the fluid label and the in-game interaction prompt before changing anything; do not treat advice for another Roblox game as a confirmed fix here.
Read the known limits and observation checklistAsked by @3vix_rblx on YouTubeHow do you play A Long Flight on iPad?
Use the action buttons and interaction prompts shown in your game session. In reply to this exact question, the walkthrough creator says the sequence is the same but the buttons differ. We have not verified a complete iPad layout, so the PC keyboard table should not be treated as a touch-control map. Follow the repair and flight sequence, and use the current on-screen control for each action.
