So it's my first time flying a Heavy for Tradewind, the A330, on leg 1 of the June cargo dispatch.

When this happened! Help

Notice the blank MFDs, toppled secondary instruments. Double engine flameout and no idea why it happened, but think it's a sim bug. I couldn't restart the engines and had to glide to runway10 at KIAD which was luckily in range, but no flaps no gear meant a very expensive landing Ashamed

and lots of work for the NTSB and engineers! Hope to have a replacement aircraft available for leg 2!
