Engine Powerdown In WWI Aircraft
« on: July 27, 2015, 11:21:37 PM »
First noticed using the F1 Camel

When you are on the ground and landing.

First turn off your engine and the prop will keep spinning as expected. Then you hear the default engine off sound when the feathered prop ceases to stop spinning well after the engine off button is hit.
The boiling pot is put away and the crab has gone back to sea...

The Camel doesn't have a feathering prop. It has a fixed prop attached to a rotating engine. The engine is rotating and cycling the pistons if the prop is turning.

The alpha isn't using the rotary engine sound for the Camel yet. I expect it will end up the same as the current version when they get to it.
