I've put engine starter switches (which also turn the engines off) into a number of my panels which come from the M$ concorde gauge - would this help? I think you can get the gauge from this site somewhere.

I will try the Concorde gauge but I really need something that doesn't actually say "engine 2" or anything like that and I can't repaint the switch and re-distribute a modified Concorde gauge. 

The keypresses won't work in this situation for some reason and besides, this is for an upcoming release so I really do need a lever or switch to click on in the 2D cockpit.

I've tried writing a XML gauge to do the thrick nut can't get my head around the code and it toggles when it shouldn't. 

<later...>
Darn.  The Concorde gauge idea won't work after all.

Nope, I NEED a fuel shut off gauge that will shut off the fuel to engine 2.  The commands are available in XML as a toggle but I don't know how to ensure that it toggles the right way as I know almost nothing about XML coding.

What, you couldn't tell?

Er, <blush> coz I wasn't paying enough attention to realise that there was a panel design forum... er... 

It's OK, I have managed to achieve what I want with my own gauges after all plus that nice Concorde gauge (big isn't it?) to start and stop engine 1.  Engine 2 gets handled automatically.

Thanks folks.
