As title: is there any chance to have engine shutdown and start for the Sopwith Camel? This biplane needs more love, I think.
Cold and dark for the Sopwith Camel

Not a bad idea adding more details to aircrafts like the Camel, but a lot of users will call this a waste of time...
Do you remember what happend when IPACS added the ME262? I'm pretty sure something similar will happen when IPACS would do something like that.

The real world Sopwith Camel requires to you hold the ignition button down to accelerate the engine. If you let go the engine spools down and eventually stops. Once it's stopped you need a person outside to crank the propeller by hand. This hand cranking and this "holding the ignition to change throttle" is not implemented, it's simplified so that you can just move the throttle lever to increase/decrease throttle like on all other aircraft. Since there is no starter that you can press in the cockpit and the propellers is also barely visible I'm not sure how we should ever implement this, other than having an obvious button on screen to start engine cranking.
