Maybe we should have a wish list post. In Fighter Ace, we could see the engine we selected, also when we selected an engine to shut down you could just hit enter or something like that, and you would be back to full control of the 3working engines.

Earl, did you guys visually sync on the 4 engine stuff by looking "through" where the prop arcs intersect and "stopping" the shadow?  For those that haven't seen this, looking from the cockpit you get a vantage point so your line of sight goes through both prop arcs.  If those two engines are different RPM you will see a "shadow" from where the blades on the engines coincide…this shadow will move/rotate, direction depending on which engine is turning faster.  You changed RPM on one of the engines so this "shadow" becomes stationary…voila those two engines are synced.
:airplane: Yes, I would have mentioned this to, but I figured the guys in here would think I had been in some kind of "sauce" or something!

To control a specific engine its shift (engine #), and to control all its Ctrl+E not Shift.
only a moron would use Dolby positioning in a game.

  I fly the P-38, and I have used this.  Just to make sure, I hit offline training real quick to confirm.

  Shift-1, E, shut down my left engine.  Ctrl+E then let me control the remaining engine.

           Just took up a B29 offline to go through the procedure.

            Shutting down inboard engines..   Shift 2 E, Shift 3 E
            Controlling Outboard engines..  Ctrl E.
            Restarting inboard engines..         Shift 2 E, Shift 3 E
            Control all 4 again...                 Ctrl E.

Earl if you don't have it already you can print a one page reference sheet from the trainers page. Just scroll down the left side of the page, look for One Page Quick Reference under downloads.   http://trainers.hitechcreations.com/
