Here's why this is likely the case:
* Gameplay Focus: TDU is primarily focused on driving and racing, not on simulating every aspect of car mechanics. The game engine prioritizes smooth gameplay and performance over detailed simulations.
* Engine Management: Turning off the engine could create unintended consequences. For example, the car might be unable to accelerate or brake, or it might be difficult to restart the engine.
Alternatives:
* Park Your Car: You can park your car in a designated parking spot to simulate turning off the engine. However, the car will still be visually running.
* Modding: Some mods might allow you to turn off the engine, but these are not officially supported by the game developers.
While you can't turn off the engine in the traditional sense, you can still experience the game's focus on racing and exploring its open world with the engine running.
