Three more contributions to the bug collection:

*) Weird thing: The model seems never to consume any fuel.  I dumped
  the property list and discovered that engines/engine/fuel-flow-gph
  takes on reasonable values and tracks the throttle setting, while
  engines/engine/fuel-flow_pph remained stuck at zero.  This is a
  particularly bad disconnect, since apparently the latter is what
  gets integrated to calculate engines/engine/fuel-consumed-lbs.

*) Weird thing: No "flags" on the instruments.  The GS needle goes to
  mid-scale if there is no valid signal.  That'll kill you for sure.
  I'm told that the hi-res instruments implement flags, but the lo-res
  ones don't, and the c182 model is using the lo-res versions.

*) Weird thing: Causing failure via the "heading indicator" option on
  the "instrument failures" popup has no discernible effect on the
  HSI.  I dumped the property list and observed that the "serviceable"
  flag on the heading indicator was false, in accordance with the
  desired failure ... but somehow the backend routines are not
  respecting this setting.


I added these to the list at
