After seeing the nice video made about starting up a Spit IK - I thought I would try it. Everything worked but I could not get the fuel cock lever to move up in the cockpit. I did get most everything else to move by using the clickable cockpit features. It just seemed to be this one item. I don't know if I have to have this thing flipped up or not. I did toggle it by keys rather than using my mouse in the cockpit. But even then there was no visual change in the cockpit.

Any ideas?

That's a new one on me, the one thing that does that in the spit is the trim wheel, the problem is that it does not move though it does have an effect when you click it. Can't think of a reason why the fuel cock wouldn't work *unless* have you got full CEM enabled? The reason I went full CEM in the first place was because not everything seemed to work properly. Or have you ticked everything on in the CEM including anthramorphic controls(however you spell it)? It's supposed to model only having two hands, but sometimes it can have unusual results, if you've got it on turn it off and try again.

I was just messing around with the game so have not got back to this. Yes, on full CEM. I am guessing you have to have a key or button assigned to the object. If not, i am guessing that the mouse won+'t be able to click it. As it is I have it set to a CTRL+PGUP so that may be a problem. I got distracted with making a mission for just a ground start and messing with the graphics. Another post on that.

Did you maybe had unlimited fuel checked?

I went back and set fuel to 30% - still no affect. I even assigned keys to fuel cock position 1 and 2 and the toggle and still no affect.

Just what is fuel cock supposed to do anyway. I am guessing it just is a cut off value on the fuel line.

I meant unlimited fuel in the difficulty options, set it to off.
