and how is it possible that you already reached 6000 ft before u noticed the fire? didnt u get a warning or something? Normally, a failed engine (not to mention engine fire) will be detected by the sensors! I bet you were not even watching the instruments, but after 2 minutes of flight??? And not just the instruments, a failed engine causes loss of airspeed and therefore, its either loss of climb rate, or stall! Those are the only 2 options!

@concorde123100 - Still wrong just with more detail!
The 737 QRH (emergency manual) does not mention shutting down second engine unless it fails or also has fire.
Yes you start APU to reduce load on remaining GEN and incase of 2nd engine failure.

@philosofiza If one engine is geting on fire and you are so close
an airport you should turn of the engine so that the fuel dont explode.
I't dippends on how high you are ( around 5000-10000 feets is the best way to shut down the engine and sailfly to the closest airport.)

please find job on the ground ;) you could not be more wrong.
one engine fails - shut down working engine and run APU??? why???!!???

when one engine is on fire you shall turn of all engines and put on APU,make an Mayday call choose an airports that you think is closer,push the safety belt and contackt the crue in the plane.

not aborting takeoff was good and bad. the good news is that in real life, they couldn't abort takeoff because you were too fast too abort. the bad news is that since it a simulator, the braking was unrealistic because of a short runway i was able to stop very quickly.

Considering you didn't see the smoke until after departure, I think you made the right decision to land at Kai Tak. Good job.
He had already reached V1
