Just bought. 2 questions
I just bought the Beaver tonight for P3D 3.4 and I love it. I haven't had time to look in the entire manual as I only just did a quick test flight.
Couple of questions.
Why can't I move the red fuel shutoff handle to Off? I had full tanks.
Why can't I turn the ignition switch to Off either?
Thanks.

Hi Colin, I did just now, unless I missed something I didn't see where I couldn't move both levers to off.
Please tell me what page it's on?

Re: Just bought. 2 questions
Might it not have been a nice gesture to paying customer to say "middle click" to begin with?

Re: Just bought. 2 questions
I did read the manual and saw that to use the emergency cut off you use the "middle click" 
I assume you mean clicking the scroll wheel. That doesn't seem to work. Handle stays in the same position and the engine keeps running. Thoughts? EDIT - same goes for turning the Magnetos to off…heck I can't even start this thing without resorting to Ctrl E - the I lose Manifold pressure and the fuel & oil pressure/fuel temp gauge…But I'll take a look at the Support Forum once I get registered.

I think you are right and you click the scroll wheel. Maybe it has something to do with your mouse setup?
(The manual is beautiful btw and well worth a look)

Re: Just bought. 2 questions
I know it is…I have it up right now! Seriously one of the best manuals I've seen (and I have been flightsimming since 1985) - I especially like how you highlighted non-functional item - it integrates them smoothly with what looks a like a real aircraft manual. The starting problems were an XMLTools.dll issue tat I figured out and fixed. Works great!
Yes, I think you are correct about the middle mouse button. I got one of those fully programable mouses - and after reading your post remembered I had reprogramed the middle button to "Spacebar" - allows you to look around the cockpit with one hand…I probably don't need that since I now use TrakIR. Thanks for the pointer.
Work around for the Magnets is to use FSUCIP to set a switch to Increase Magneto and Decrease Magneto.
As far as the firewall fuel and oil cut off…I guess I had better to get an engine fire until I fix the mouse.
