C152 fuel shutoff valve

The 152's fuel valve, no selector: the one valve for both tanks, ON or OFF. The black square placard with its raised rim, FUEL and its usable gallons, ON at the left and OFF at the bottom; the cast aluminum handle turns a quarter turn between them and clacks into place. It sends the simulator's fuel shutoff.

Simulator data

What the Hub reads from the simulator for this instrument, and what the instrument sends back. Names are the simulators' own: MSFS SimVars and events, X-Plane datarefs and commands.

Add-on aircraft with their own systems may use other variables; the Hub reads the standard ones.
