It has already reported here in Dec that the fuel shutoff valve of C172 apparently not opens.
(The little lever with the red knob on it, at the right side of the fuel selector)
When clicking on it, it moves in and then immediately out again. This is annoying because you never know exactly the status of this valve: Is it open or still closed? If the engine doesn’t start, the valve is closed.
What is even more annoying is that there is no key binding for the OPEN/CLOSE valve function available (ist it?). With a certain key action one could know for sure the status of the valve. Only looking at the valve doesn’t help because it appears always in out position as being closed.
There is a key toggle for it, “Alt-V”, but it does the same as clicking it in the cockpit, just a quick in-out motion.
Thanks, TheSevenflyer, this solves the main problem. The key is “Toggle all fuel valves” but this key is only available at the keyboard. I missed it because I was looking for a binding to my throttle unit.

You can bind it to your controller.
