I'd like to know what's the proper shutdown procedure for the P-40 is. This point seems to be omitted from the manual and the pilot's notes. Thank you.

Increase MP say to about 15-20 and shut down with the mixture as in most planes

Thank you. Just wanting to make sure. Up to now I did a bit like in the Spitfire. I cut the connection to the fueltank, waited until the engine started running rough and then I cut the mixture.

From the real world manual T.O. No. 01-25CE-1:

Stopping Engine

A. Apply toe brakes and set parking brake lever
B. Hold flight control stick back and run engine up to about 18 inches Hg for 30 seconds
C. When the outside temperature is below 0C, dilute the oil system before stopping engine.
D. Close throttle and move mixture control to "IDLE CUT-OFF"

I know most of that is pretty self explanatory, but that's it!
