Shift-E to switch to all engines and you should be able to control all working engines.

Hmm are you saying there may be a way to possibly control each engine's throttle position individually? That would be great if its true. I'm new here also, the way I used to balance an engine out in AW was to shut down an opposing engine on the other wing. Of course you fly with lot less power but its very managable.

Thanks GA was not aware of that one.

No it appears that all control E does is control any engine that is running. IE # 3 takes a hit in the oil, you shut it down before it blows with shift 3, then E.
If you hit Shift E for all engines again # 3 starts back up.
If you use Control E only the 3 running enines are controled.

Gives one more option in multiengined ac.
