Hi Guys

I was anticipating this release for so long, I really was beginning to think my expectations would not be met. They have been far more than exceeded. Great job guys.

One tiny niggle, the ignition switch doesn't move go "off" position, and when I use my switch panel to change it, although the engine reacts (shuts off and changes rpm accordingly) the switch doesn't move to reflect it.

Click your center mouse button or wheel to move the magneto switch to the "OFF" position.
BTW aircraft engines are shutdown using the mixture control and moving it to full lean or cut off. The mags are switched off after the engine has stopped. Using the magnetos to shut the engine down can cause engine damage.
Then again you may already know this and you were just testing for the solution.

Cheers,
Thad

I meant that when my control panel switch goes to off, the engine also stops, but the onscreen switch doesn't change. Thanks for the middle mouse tip - didn't pick up on that.
