Engine cutting ranks among the dweebiest, ghey things you can do.
I have flown against quite a few 'old timers' who do this.  If there is a real issue with it then ask it be 'fixed'.

I didn't bother watching the film, but whats the difference between turning the engine off and throttling all the way back?  

It didn't used to be anything, you didn't slow down faster one way or the other.  

If you get killed because you overshot against some "gamer" who turned his engine off to slow down.. you would have been killed just the same had he throttled back.

I recall someone testing it quite some time ago to really find and those were the results.  Widewing perhaps?

I can name three (3) guys that do this very thing regularly and against anyone that knows whats going on at least it doesnt help them at all yet they will deny it even after having done it and knowing it was filmed. Somehow they have come to believe it will help and still continue to act this way.

Why should you care then?  Just throttle back and slow down faster than the guy turning off his engine.  You can then throttle up immediately unlike the guy who turned off his engine.

I don't understand why you are so touchy about this.

I don't see what the issue is with someone cutting their engine other than it's a stupid idea.

I dont know what made you think I was touchy about it. It makes for a good laugh when you find someone so 'pressed' that they resort to doing stupid things like this.

EVERY AIRPLANE in this Game (and in RL) has a little RED KNOB called mixture. You pull on that knob, the engine goes putt putt... Most of you commenting about this "Engine Cutter"  crap don't know this because your cartoon pilot status has your ego so big, that you think you know everything about airplanes right?

In RL, you have free will to cut off your engine(s) anytime, anywhere, for any reason.

Even if it's a dweeby thing to do in game, the point of this thread was to share a movie with our community and enjoy it. Not to start hating on people.

Thanks to those who did watch it. i hope you enjoyed.

Thanks Gian, that Glasair III cruises nearly 300 mph. It's a biotch to land, as you come over the threshold at 90 knts... It's a blast though. Thanks for checking that out bud <>.

I don't think he was "pressed" to resort to doing anything remotely stupid.
I think you were wrong and are now just trying to back up something stupid you have said.


1. he wasn't trying to turn tighter.
2. if you overshoot on someone turning off their engine, you'd overshoot if they throttle back.
