This is pretty trivial but I'll post anyway. Had my left engine shot out, landed. Could not shut down the right. It felt like it was trying to start the left?

I did not try the commads to shut the engine down independently.

When you lose an engine the other stops responding. You have to manually select the still-working engine and then throttle back or shut it off. This is a bug that's been around for a while (I think it's present in all 2-engined fighters.

Also effects the multi-engined bombers. In TA recently I was flying around in a B-17 and noticed I bent the props on #s1 & 2, the basic e command did nothing and I had to use individual engine commands to shut them down.

What are the individual engine commands?

Shift-1, -2, -3, -4 select individual engines.
To select all engines at once again, hit shift-E

Actually 'shift e' is start/stop all engines. Select all engines is 'ctrl e'.
