Hi Murray, not it wasn't apparent right away I was doing a turn and the F-14 started to feel more heavy, I the realized that one engine flamed out.
Because of the pipe design on this F-14 which if you see is a bit outwards at the end the F-14 kept flying almost straight, I just had to give some correction inputs to the sticks but nothing much.
The circuits made where of course at full power and keeping the same altitude.
Landing was no problem, I just did not use full flaps so I wouldn't loose speed to quickly, so I added half flaps when I had secure runway and the F-14 landed perfectly.
The circuits whee flown using elevons, very little rudder was necessary.
Hope this helps.
