Suggestion: Add a key to the ignition.

[Bill Grabowski]

This suggestion for a future update would be 1. more realistic and 2. easier to see the position of the ignition.

Also, the mouse zone over the ignition doesn't indicate possible actions; there's only one mouse icon, a hand. I suggest either a mouse zone where a left mouse press turns the key to the left and a right mouse press turns the key to the right, or a plus/minus mouse zone, or a drag mouse to left or right.

Also, is the primer button really functional? Could there be better mouse indicators here?

Bill,

Thanks for the suggestions.

The ignition that is currently in the Corvalis is a standard XP instrument.  As you know, the functionality of the ignition includes several positions (L, R, BOTH) as well as a "spring loaded" position for starting, which is not available in a basic generic instrument.  In order to implement this it may require some additional programming in the plugin.  I'm not sure if I can implement this but I will make a note to look into it for a future update.

The primer button utilizes the Dataref... "sim/cockpit2/engine/actuators/primer_on", so it is "functional" in that when you press the button the primer is "ON"  and when you release the button the primer is "OFF".
