Fuel level questions

[nark]

The red dot on the fw fuel indicator- is that just an over all % of fuel?  I have seen no other red dot type in some of the other planes...Is it unique to the FWs?


also I hear people on vox say they have so many minutes of fuel left...how do I see that indicator?

Costs more.  Send me a one time payment of 19.99 and I'll have your new digital E6B readout installed on your clipboard in no time.

Or if you want to handle the chore yourself, settle in for some reading this weekend and open the Help pages.  You'll find self-install instructions for all sorts of things you didnt know your plane could do.  


Ok ok ok.  The fuel gague on the dash shows the amount of fuel in the currently selected tank.  Click on the E6B link on your clipboard to get total remaining fuel, how many minutes and how much distance you have left at current engine settings, etc.

I think so.
I think so, but some planes have a similar device, IIRC.

Open your clipboard (while in flight), and click E6B (think it's in the lower right hand area. Tells you what rate you're burning fuel at, how much you have left, time you can run at that rate, and also engine settings for various cruise/power settings. Using max cruise while in transit to and from your target/fight can greatly increase your time in flight.

ys that red dot is how much fuel total you have left and in the P47 u have 2 gauges one for the fuel tank and one for the total amount of fuel u have left.
