Type of improvement:
Improved CEM

Explanation of proposals:
CloD is so close to full real startup that it is a real shame we can't use the primer and parking brake. Please consider implementing these to make the package complete.

Benefits:
Increased immersion and the feeling of having a real engine up front that can be temperamental if flooded etc.

Would be great if number of primes was dependent on outside air temp, temp of engine etc. Too many priming strokes for the conditions and you risk failing to start or having a stack fire. Too few strokes and the engine catches but fails to continue and must be restarted. I really hope you can add this when things become more stable - I know others feel the same. As this is pre-start code I don't feel it would have a performance hit.

Having a parking brake would really help when warming up the engine and testing the prop. At the moment I need to keep my finger on the brakes as the aircraft turns slowly otherwise.
