Engine shutdown?

Featured Replies

Anyone know how to shut down the engines properly? Fuel cutoff seems to be bugged in 1.3 at least.

Works ok here. Just make sure that the condition levers are fully aft. If they are even a fraction forward of the fully aft position, you will not be able to move the red backstop release levers to shut down the engines.

At least in P3D 4.4, I'm 0/0% on the throttles and condition levers and still can't get things shut down. I hover over the red cut offs and get a hand pointer with the tool tip, but I can't do anything. I get an Engine 1 shutoff (shutoff) on the left and Engine 2 shut (On) on the right as pop up tool tips.

0% condition levers is not feather, that's only minimum rpm!  You can't pull the props into feather with the mouse.

You need to either use an axis assignment, a button or a key for 'reduce prop rpm' to move the props into feather.

IRL there's usually a gate or at least a noticable increased resistance so you can't accidently pull the props below minimum rpm into feather.

Thanks. I reconfigured my assignments on the throttle quad and this worked.

Great that it works 🙂
