Hello, everyone. I have recently started playing again after an absence of some years. I remember a big part of dogfighting being the "cut engine" function that allowed one to maintain forward momentum while changing the direction they were facing. The default is the "z" key, but for some reason it doesn't always work for me.
Am I missing something? Why with the same ship, it works sometime and not others? Has anyone else experienced this, and might hazard a guess as to what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks in advance, I know it is a noobish question.
For myself I am an optimist - it does not seem to be much use being anything else.

And after the button is pressed it should work untill you try to increase/decrease impulse which activates engine again. And "kill engine" is not working when you enter auto piloting (F2,F3,F4).
