Jet Engines should Spool down

[DeputyLOL]

Saw a question about this in the questions forum, so I thought I'd put it in suggestions.

When a jet engine flames-out or is shut down, it should spool down like real life engines do instead of instantly cutting off. It would basically act the same as putting the engines to idle except the loss of thrust is much quicker.

Thank you.

I think they do, at least when you shut them down. As for flameout, they generate less and less thrust, before they shut off completely.

In real life it's pretty much instant. Usually a turbo jet will be down to less than 10% thrust in less than a second. Same goes for throttling down, the compressor/turbine shafts just aren't heavy enough to hold any significant kinetic energy.

The only reason, say, an airliner engine will seem to take ages to slow down is there's no reason to slam the throttle down. Pilots like to keep things slow and smooth whenever possible.

Speaking of which, have they fixed the thing where I'll power down my jet engines, but the sound don't stop?

at least until I right click and deactivate

That's supposed to be the engines idling, as they do in real life.

IMO, they should have three modes. Off, starting, and on.

It takes hardly any time for a jet engine to go from idle to full thrust compared to the time it takes to start. When you activate the engine it should slowly come to idle (starting, won't respond to throttle inputs), after that they could work like they do now but with much better throttle response.

Yup engines do spool down. Just slower than IRL. If you want to cut thrust instantly you just have to bind the air-intakes to an action group. By turning off the air intake you cut thrust instantly.

Also when you deactivate it it just gets silent. Like if there was no spinning turbine in it.

I'm talking about when the engine flames out or is shut down. I know that the engines spool down when you reduce power.

Currently in the game
1. The engine will be running normally
2. BANG! ? Engine backfires like a car.
3. Engine is completely silent and dead.

The engine shouldn't backfire when it runs out of fuel, it should spool down and shutdown. (I will admit that if the air flow gets cutoff that would cause the engine to surge/backfire)
