This has been an issue with many twin engine birds, including the P38. Half of the time, if you lose an engine (from battle damage) you cannot wep the other.

If you manually turn off one engine, you cannot wep the other but Hitech told me this is by design.

The other issue I found is that if you get a fuel hit in a twin engine bird and the tanks were almost dry, it will kill the engines instantly. You need to manually switch tanks and restart the engines. This happens alot when my aux tanks are almost empty and they damage one or both aux tanks.

I had this happen to me last night in a Bf.110. I was surprised, to say the least.

I forgot to mention, it IS possible to wep a single engine, if you select each engine individually and both engines are either running or one is dead from battle damage (with the occasional bug).

I saw Murdr do this on a film one time to do a hammerhead, he has a single CH Prothrottle with engine selection being the 3 buttons in front of the unit.

The poor guys that have dual throttles can't do that, however. Frankly, I think we should be able... my recommendation is a programmable 2nd wep button.

Also one of the trim gauges in the cockpit is reversed (I believe it's aileron, but could be rudder).  You input left control and the plane behaves correctly, but the indicator in the cockpit slides to the right. 

Slightly O/T but still a B-25 bug (happens in both models). :)
