This is a real engine failure that happened to me while i was flying, it was a forced engine failure. The Bf109 didnt make it happen either. I have a "How to" video that i will post here shortly as well. I did this on accident and thought it was kinda cool to do. Well have fun guessing! I will post the How to when its done processing.

I did the same thing at 8,000 feet on Saterday. Luckily, I landed and came to a stop just by the tree line. The sounds coming from the overheated engine were cool, even after I landed.

That's not an engine failure, it's called a "prop-strike".

yea, i guess that would be the better term. It resulted in an engine failure though.
