Engine Ignition (or igniters) are on the left lower FADAC OHP, these are the A and B channels and MUST be kept switched on when the engines are running or for the whole flight, switch them off and it will shutdown the engines...
That isn't the case and if the model behaves like this then it should be fixed. Once a gas turbine engine is running it does not need ignition to stay running. In the MD-11 you need to turn the ignition system on to arm the engine start. Switching it off after engine start will inhibit auto ignition which protects against flameout in adverse conditions but it won't shut down the engines.
Thanks for the very detailed and informative review.
