Something for 1.05 patch when ya get time

Multi-engine management. I know the navy types are gonna be whinning for this after their first run in an elco boat.

I want it for flying four engine planes. Say #3 eng gets shot out. I can shut down #2 to balance things out, but then I have no throttle control for the remaining engines. I can get that control back on #1, or #4, but not on both, without restarting #2. (shift + e)

Possibly a key command like ctrl + e to assign throttle control to running engines.

This would greatly enhance the flyability of shot up bombers. If this already exsists, could someone enlighten me as to how to accomplish it? It's not anywhere to be found in the read-me file.

Of course it would be nice to have individual throttle advance, retard for each engine. (dreaming here)

You can do single engine management right now (ctrl+1,2,3 or 4---or shift or alt,dont recall it).

after you press that combo of keys your rule exclusivelly the engine selected. I used to do that offline with the P38 to "train" a bit on one engine handling   was fun

Shift + 1-4 is individual engine control. The problem is once you cut #2, you can't control #1 and 4 with the throttle at the same time. Since you selected #2 and cut it, you have to hit Shift + E to re-select the engines. Guess what, #2 will start back up when you do that. What's needed is a way to select the engines you want to control WITHOUT starting one you selectively cut.

Funny you should mention this, I second this.
yesterday i was in my 17 and i tangled with 4 fighters and a insane b-26 and i was down to engines 1,3and 4 and i had no tail fin, I was supprised I was still airborn (got it on film too) but the only way i could steer left and right was with the engines and its very hard to do that the way it is.  Good thinkin weave.

Yep, this would be a nice addition for both the Navy and the existing buffs.
