Howdy Rob,
A YASim FDM helicopter doesn't usually define an engine in the
conventional sense. In addition to what you've already done, you might
have to terminate the fuel flow to kill the engine. I had a quick look
at the R22-- it looks like Syd has a similar routine for killing the
engine in R22.nas, but he calls it /after/ fuel supply is terminated.
You might have a look at that for ideas if you haven't already. I'm
guessing Syd will come on after a while and give you some more
information.
