Do what the KOTH event does, drop (disable) the engine on..off...on....off...on....o ff stuff please :) Would make things funner, and would offer a nice break from the, "gamey," MA.

We dont have the ability to stop anyone from turning their engine on and off.

with 150+ people flying it would be nearly impossible to enforce.

Besides, it's been shown that starting and stopping the engine doesn't really have more of an impact over just cutting the throttle.

yes, it's immersion breaking, but it doesn't help them much and there's no way for us to police it with that many people.

Ah ok, I agree that there is no way to enforce this rule. After reading the post in the KOTH fourm, I was under the impression that there was a way to control engine start/stoping in midair through the setup panel.

Start and Stop does nothing anyway.

I did full testing and recorded the results. There is a post somewhere in the General Discussion with the results I found.

Bottom line, engine toggle has null effect

Shhh,  don't tell anyone or people will be forced to deal with the fact that they screwed up, rather than being cheated by someone "gaming the game".
