Jet engine cuts power on stall
New, NormalPublic

Description

When turning hard, the engine cuts out when the plane begins to stall on the new Jets. (181/201/149) This makes it really hard to fly a jet on the edge of its envelope, making dogfighting, or any manoeuvring close to the edge of the envelope, impractical.

The lack of thrust in low speed regimes makes recovery impractical, even if stall recovery techniques are attempted. Recovery of the engine RPM is much more pronounced if you reengage throttle.

Steps To Reproduce

Scenario A - Turn flight:

  1. Create mission with an airborne jet
  2. start turning hard enough to bleed speed

2a. continue turning until plane stalls.

  1. observe lack of power in the engine, jet no wing stall. Accompanied by engine rev sound and indication of engine revs going down in instruments

Scenario B - level flight:

  1. Create mission with a jet on the runway
  2. Start accelerating to takeoff speed and take off immediately upon reaching this speed.
  3. pull up to just over the AoA limit so that a stall is induced.
  4. observe lack of power in the engine, jet no wing stall. Recovery of the engine RPM is much more pronounced if you reengage throttle
Additional Information

It would seem that the stall is modelled through the cutting of engine power, instead of (either partial or complete) loss of lift from the wings.
