Not so any more -- our default aircraft is a 172P, which is carbureted. We just don't happen to model the subtleties of either carbureted or fuel-injected engines yet. > I thought we had a red light coming on to indicate parking brake, or did I > imagine it? That was back in the 2D panel. We need to add the parking brake lever. I'd like to add that in my experience, the parking brake is very, very rarely used. Here's when I've put mine on: 1. During a 5-minute lean ground run at 2000 rpm to clear a possibly-fouled plug (I didn't want to cramp my legs holding the brakes that long). 2. Leaving the plane for a few minutes on slightly sloping asphault. 3. Tying down once, when there was a slope in the asphault. Normally, you tie down and/or chock the plane, but don't put on the parking brake; otherwise, the line staff won't be able to move the plane around (for fueling, to get it out of the way of another plane, etc.) without having a copy of your key and climbing into the plane. It's worth noting that linestaff are often not pilots, so it's 50:50 that they'd even find the parking brake if they climbed in. > >and trim wheels?

For actual trimming, I think that we have some keys assigned, but the easiest method is to use the scrollwheel on your mouse if it has one.
