Did you open your cowl flaps and was your propeller set in a good position to taxi? Maybe you just overheated your engines while you where on the ground.

Another option is that in the menu of flight simulator, the engine fire failure was enabled so that the engine automaticly catches fire after e few minutes.

Hopfully this may help.
