Generally speaking retiring with honour (no engine or fuel and on own side) or forced retiring through rudder damage etc are both acceptable.
It is also possible that planes automove off the board. This happened in one game of mine recently when I was away for three days. This is not ideal but sometimes unavoidable.
Otherwise retiring is not good especially if playing in a league or multi-player games as this is unfair on the other players. Please note though that it is not always possible to identify rudder damage moves as you will not see the damage displayed if the last turn that took the enemy plane off the board was the last one restricted.

I know that it's good play to retire when it means you can win the game.
But just now i watched as a person retired and had no chance of winning.
the top 3 were all out, 3 were left, and they were placed either below or above the retiree.
Whenever im in that situation i just fly around and try to get some points..or "donate" my plane to who-ever's good enough to get me.
I find that retiring when one cant win is almost sour grapes and shows that a person really takes this too seriously.
has anyone else seen this?
excluding damages that make not retiring impossible..i.e. left turn only, on border..can only go off map...
