Thanks for the advice. As for Beechcraft's placement for the carb heat, this is a new one for me. Of all the planes I've flown in real life (Cessna, Piper, Beechcraft) I've never seen it like this. Now, I've never flown (or been in) a Sundowner, my 1963 Musketeer was not setup like that. as for noticing the oil temp prior to the engine just shutting down, no I never noticed that; I was basically just poking around to see what my Honeycomb yoke/throttle body assignments worked. I did not even know about the chocks being placed All good now; so thanks!

OK, just downloaded because I thought it would be very close to my old 1963 Musketeer, Anyway, other than needing to remap some of my Honeycomb buttons, it seems to work fine. Two questions: 1) What is that lever between to throttle/mixture controls. I can't find this is your documentation, and it does not reference it in the checklist. 2) Once I had it loaded, I started the engine and as I was poking around wondering why I could not release the parking brake (figured that out eventually) the engine shut off and will not restart. I had to reload the plane in the simulator. Is there some kind of trick to this restart (why and how). Thanks;
