MSFS never ceases to amaze. Not always for the right reasons.
No I didn’t Photoshop that. I didn’t even fly it. My imagination isn’t good enough to even come up with a plausible explanation of how it could occur.

I’ve seen loads of images with this defect, but I have never seen it in person.

Do check out WY15 too, not the greatest scenery, but by far the airport with the best name

I was playing around with my head tracking and now I’m not flying without anymore haha. It’s almost like VR.

I see this often. Gotta restart the sim to get rid of it.

I see you found Tokyo Express. Or is that US Navy?

Possibly off topic for this forum but I’m not sure where to put it.
Most of my accomplishments were because I had no idea how hard things were.
I bit off more than I could chew, but kept chewing!

I got a different L39, the Drop Bear, but if it helps normal shutdown on it is:
-
turn off the electric switches at your right hand: Generator 1-2, Alternator 1-2, Avionics, Engine instruments and Battery
-
Under your left elbow is a guarded fuel handle, pull that up

Hi @Tuffbull7923, thanks for this.
Though I can’t quite resist the temptation to point out that the fuel handle you’d have me pull is marked ‘EMERGENCY FUEL SHUT-OFF’:
So what is the non-emergency way of shutting off the fuel?
Well, if you look carefully at your throttle, you’ll see an arcing shelf under and to the right of the throttle, and at its rear is the word IDLE, then below that a red area which may or may not - your picture isn’t clear enough - have the word STOP on it. To its left is a little grey tab you ought to be able to pull.
My guess is that if you pull that tab you can then pull, or lift and pull, the throttle right back to cut off the fuel.
My L-39 throttle is a modified version, which slides back and forth on a rail: still, it doesn’t normally move all the way back, but there is a tab on the bottom which if pressed would probably allow it to move that extra distance to the cutoff position:
However, the tab doesn’t actually do anything in my L-39, and I doubt your tab will work in yours (but do let me know if it does).
There is a similar mechanism which does work in Just Flight’s Hawk T.1 - but that’s a rather expensive third-party aircraft, and this isn’t.
So your method is probably the best available to us.

Yeah right, I wanted to answer your post here 
I checked in my version of the Albatros and you are right, it IS called emergency fuel shutoff. And to think I have 100+ flights with this plane…
I checked the throttle too and I think it should work as you described, but it does not. The throttle has that STOP position, there is a small pin that should stop you accidentally pulling the throttle there, however as I move the throttle backwards the pin lifts a bit, goes over the guarding edge and is clearly indicating that the throttle handle is in the stop position, yet the engine simply idles. My guess is that MSFS intends us to use the emergency fuel shutoff handle.

I didn’t even see that cutoff lever until after I’d got the engine stopped by floundering about with the guarded switches above the throttle.
And I was somewhat primed to notice the throttle shutoff mechanism because I’ve spent a fair bit of the last two weeks taking the Hawk T.1 on a trip round the USA - I like flying in real time and live weather, and it’s light there when it’s dark in Scotland where I live.
I’ve now laid the Hawk up in New Orleans for a couple of weeks to see if I can still remember how to start it from cold and dark after that enormous gap in time.
