engineOn False does not work on helicopters. Here is a workaround using [[setFuel]] and [[fuel]].
<code>[] spawn {_gas= fuel Heli;Heli setfuel 0; sleep 0.01; Heli setfuel _gas;}; //Heli A.K.A. _obj</code>
Also sets helicopter fuel back to original quantity. Works on every other vehicle, although unnecessary.
