December 19, 20205 yr In the C172 (not G1000) and the Carenado PA44 when I have started a flight from cold/dark I noticed that the engine would not start. Then I thought - I haven't turned on the fuel and/or selected a fuel tank. I tried to look around the cockpit for the fuel lever (often on the floor, between the pilot and co-pilot's seat), I could not see the red handle for the fuel tank selectors. I was not able to see far enough back. So I gave up and used the keyboard to turn on fuel, and the engine started. Am I missing something? Is there a cockpit view that will allow one to see the floor and the ceiling of the cockpits?

December 19, 20205 yr The tank selector is in the centre console of the c172. Ignore the mouse over hints they are just plain wrong it is NOT an emergency selector. The selector is labelled left/both/right in the 3D cockpit and that is correct. HOWEVER it is more likely the FUEL SHUTOFF is the issue not the tank selector. That is the red pull knob just to the right and above the fuel selector. You can see me moving it in the video just after I move the fuel selector. Note to pan around the cockpit click the mouse centre button. Edited December 19, 20205 yr by Glenn Fitzpatrick
