Engine stopping too quickly after setting mixture to cutoff?

[gulredrel]

Hello,

Don't know i this is a bug or not. Anyone else also noticed, that the engine stops too soon after going to cutoff on the mixture lever?

Going to cutoff there is still fuel in the fuel lines which will be sucked into the carb and cylinders slowly stopping the engine, also propeller and rotating mass in the engine will have quite an inertia coming to a stop more slowly. ED's P-47 with the same engine stops much more slowly.

The sudden stoppage also appears when switching the mags to off. I had no luck being in low idle to do a mags grounding check with going mags off and immediately on again which should result just in a short drop in RPM and recatching of the engine ignition (also working in P-47).

If necessary I can create trk and record a video of what I mean.

Please see her real engine stopping at around 5:25 in the video.

Thanks

Jens

Yup, it's impossible not to notice that, although I suspect it's just a low'ish priority WIP aspect of engine simulation. I wouldn't mind, however, seeing animation extended somewhat in the future to more accurate levels for such a big prop, as the real vids like the one above show.
