"Engine off" unuseful?
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

When you exit a vehicle it will automatically turn the engine off.
This make no sense!
If you exit with "eject" command, the car/truck will remain with the engine ON, and that's ok but if you simply get out, the engine will go off automatically.
I think the engine should remain ON until the "engine OFF" command it's used.

Firstly, "unuseful" isn't a word.

What you're suggesting would make "Get out" useless. "Engine off" is used when you either want to jump out ("Eject") of a moving vehicle and still turn the engine off or when you want to, for example, be silent while still staying in your vehicle.

That's everything you have to say?

I've already said my idea, people are not according to it and that's ok!

Do you always leave your engine running when you get out of your car? I don't, except in very specific situations.

It seems prudent to take the time and turn it off if you're not in a hurry. The default behavior is fine and the "engine off" still has a use. Many times when playing tank driver when not moving or in combat I turn the engine off so you can hear people talk on the radio/outside.

That's why u should click Engine OFF before exiting the vehicle

Well, in that case vote up authentic pre-start systems checks and other fluff that just add extra actions without really adding anything to gameplay.

"Getting out" of the car action assumes you turned the engine off, just like taking off with a jet that you did all the pre-flight checks.

Hello,

this behaviour is intended. Thank you for your feedback,

Have a nice day!
