Hi,
On the Cessna 172/150 range of aircraft the carb-heat control is a "progressive" knob as for mixture. The operators recommendation is indeed that only "FULL" or off should be used and it is represented as "bool" in flight gear but is this a correct interpretation. If the actual aircraft panel is a variable control should the representation be variable and up to the pilot to use in the recommended fashion. Anyone any opinions
on this point (maybe I am just being too pendantic!!)?
cheers
Jim
FGControls::set_carb_heat( int engine, bool val )
{
    if ( engine == ALL_ENGINES ) {
        for ( int i = 0; i < MAX_ENGINES; i++ ) {
            carb_heat[i] = val;
        }
    } else {
        if ( (engine >= 0) && (engine < MAX_ENGINES) ) {
            carb_heat[engine] = val;
        }
    }
}
