Benargee: engineOn False does not work on helicopters. Here is a workaround using setFuel and fuel. [] spawn {_gas= fuel Heli;Heli setfuel 0; sleep 0.01; Heli setfuel _gas;}; //Heli A.K.A. _obj Also sets helicopter fuel back to original quantity. Works on every other vehicle, although unnecessary. (Old bug since Arma 2 or earlier, still exists in Arma 3 1.26.126789)1.26.126789
