Good point. How about we do something about the ability to turn engine on and off at will?

The ability to turn your engine on and off is a normal part of flying. The thrust delay on restart is modeled.

What's this torque tall speak of....    :D

It becomes apparent when you lose one engine or apply asymmetrical thrust.   :aok

Tie the external and internal engines sounds together.  Turn yours off, his is off also.    :devil

It is something that people who fly fighters need to contend with.  Nothing to worry about for you bomber pilots.  :bolt:

How come when I bottom out my RPM and turn off my engine(s) ... I speed up in a dive?  :headscratch: :airplane: :old:

Isn't it technically when you bottom out your RPM the prop feathers?

If you think you are having a 1v1 in the Main Arena, your SA has failed you.

Because planes fly.  Obviously if they fly through the air, they must be lighter than water.

 :headscratch:  Now I'm actually slightly curious.  I've never feathered my prop with the engine running to see if I sped up in a dive, I just assumed the result would be the same.

Gravity.

Gravity is less when I keep my RPMs up?

Gravity provides the thrust when your engines are off.

You use "bottom out" to refer to high RPM? Isn't that backwards?

What do you suppose has more drag, low AOA or high AOA?

Nope, but when your RPMs are high (and engine power output is low), the air stream is driving the propeller rather than the other way around.  The result is that your prop is creating drag rather than thrust.
