FIRE EXTINGUISHERS

[Shooter503]

I would like to see Fire extinguishers on multi engine bombers.
If an engine catches fire I have seconds to shut it down before I blow up.
I am in a B17 with a ten man crew and I need to man the guns,  fly the plane, and shut down that engine.
Give me a key that I can ignite the fire extingusihers bottles in that engine so I can keep flying.
 
It will make it harder to take me down yes but come on its a B17 you fighter jocks can't take down a B17???

There are no engine fires in AH. Only fuel tanks burn.

The fire does not come from the engine. Usually it comes from the fuel line feeding into the engine. Extinguishing the Engine would have no effect, unless you were to shut down the fuel line. Sometimes in the B-17G the fuselage just catches on fire due to the Auxiliary fuel line/tank.

Ok Ok I got it.  Turn off the fuel, shut down the oil pump, feather the prop and open the engine cowls, and turn of the ignition. Fly home.

If you want to do all that manually, and accept that if you just can't do it fast enough, that your wing is coming off, then I'd be fine with that.

Well there you go then....Wishing for Fires in engines...cause that did happen in real life...so lets have the ability to shoot an engine up..and have it catch on fire...with the ability to extinguish it

If you can do that in the mere 3 seconds you have before your wing is gone I'll mail you a batch of cookies.

Can you say, "macro"? I knew you could!

You need the oil pump to feather, and leave the cowl flaps closed -- less drag and you don't want to feed the fire more O2.

+1  I like the idea...   Would have a lot of fun nursing a b17 home. Seems like 90% of time you just get shot down when hit.   Would love more damage modeling like this... not that I fly bombers....      but ...    maybe.... I would

This is AH. Unfortunately there is no such thing as check list procedures

[HornetUK]

Maybe you could dive to put out the fire like in that other online flightsim which won't be mentioned

I'm curious , of real pilots who fly AH, how many wish we had check list procedures?

I am not trying to slight you, this request just made me think of how I really don't enjoy running long check lists in real life.
I wish, as I would think many others do, that I could just get in  real airplanes , push 1 button and go fly.

I like the idea, to add some realism 

but I suppose that many are against me
