;DHi yall!
I'm having a little bit of a hard time figuring out how to add a B737-800 fuel cutoff command. I have a home made trottle that has working fuel cutoff levers. Any ideas.

Hi Radar, I'm sure FS has keystrokes for "toggle fuel valve engine 1 & 2", I used Simboards to connect my fuel valves and I used 'X' & 'C' if I remember correctly, check the FS keystroke list!

Cheers, Gwyn

Fuel cut-off in all FS jets, in all FS versions, is operated by the Mixture settings. Lean = Cut-off, Rich = Idle. The keypresses Ctrl+Shift+F1 and F4 show this. They are the "Mixture Lean" and "Mixture Rich" controls, Separate engines have separate controls, "MixtureN Lean", "MixtureN Rich", where N is the engine number. For an axis assignment you could use "MixtureN Set" provided it is calibrated with good wide Max and Min zones.
