Magnetos

[Jotayhen]

This is a small issue at best but since you're adding items to the list how about a way (middle mouse button maybe?) to turn off the magnetos. When you load the aircraft in a "cold & dark" state the magnetos are "off". You can turn the left & right magnetos on and off by using the left and right mouse buttons respectively. You can not turn off both magnetos and thus stop the engine.

Its rigged like the fuel valve with middle click to turn it off , to prevent accidental shutdown

Hi Chuck,
I'm afraid the middle mouse click fails to turn the magnetos off in P3d v4. Specifically, on my system at least, a click of the middle mouse button does not move the magneto selector to the "off" position and therefore I am unable to shut the engine down using the magneto selector switch. Any suggestions?

Thanks!
John

EDIT: Please disregard the above. This issue was caused by my not having my mouse's middle button programmed correctly. For those who use Win 10 and can't seem to get either the fuel selector or the magneto selector switches to operate "correctly" due to not being able to use their mouse middle button, do the following before posting the issue:
1. Type in "mouse settings" in the search box in the lower left section of your monitor's screen
2. When the "Mouse" window comes up, click on the "additional mouse options" located in the upper right area
3. When the "Mouse Properties" box opens, click on "Click here to change Microsoft mouse settings"
4 Wnen the "Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center" box opens, click on the "Wheel Button" option
5. Under "Most used commands" select "Middle Click"
The default setting for me was "Task View" which caused the middle mouse button not to work.

Hope this helps
John
