Re: [Flightgear-devel] Single engine takeoff simulation

That's very interesting to know John.Coping with the windmilling drag would
be the next step. But first I want to be able to cut the engine.

Thanks Victhor and Ron.

Victhor, I've tried Method 3 but I cannot find any MTBF for the engines;
maybe this is only available for a specific aircraft model? which one? In
methods 1 or 2, do you refer to cockpit toggles?

Ron, do you mean setting /engines/engine[*]/running to 0 in the jsbsim-set
file?
