Engine doesn't shut down, if battery switched off

If the generator is on then the engine doesn't stop just from disconnecting the battery, for what I know. Anything in need of electric power get it from generators, alternators and magnetos, all driven by the engine when running.But dying when re-enableing it sounds strange.

I am not talking about just disconnecting the battery.

I am talking about shutting down the engine (throttle to stop, fuel pump off, etc...". And if u disconnect the battery too early, the rotor keeps on spinning infinitly.

 

Yeah, this is strange. Just a tiny bug.

I don’t know about the single Huey, but in newer versions (412 for sure, perhaps 212 as well) the throttle idle stop is actuated electrically, meaning you need battery power to allow the throttles to close.

 

Rotor brake is hydraulic but had no pump, it’s actuated by a piston like the brakes in your car. (Does the single Huey even have a rotor brake?)

Apparently the civilian versions (205A-1) have it, or could have it as an option (Rotor Brake Hydraulic System):

Not clear of the military -1H had it:

Since the DCS Huey is modeled after the Australian Bushranger, I wonder if the Australians received the UH-1H or the 205A-1, and which is used in this sim. Anyway, I noticed the same longer rotor wind milling time with the battery turned off and started looking for an answer but didn't find it. I think this auto rotor brake is implemented in the sim, realistic or not.
