E6B Dot Command
« on: September 02, 2007, 01:12:38 PM »
Wish there was a /.command for e6b. When I'm in the middle of a furball and need to check my gas its a lot easier to type /.e6b rather then pull up clipboard and click on e6b.

I know bear that you are a jug pilot, as I myself fly the 190 I know when it is time to rtb, but /.e6b would be cool.

I know it's amazing goldie, but if you push the 5 and the 2 on your keypad, you can actually see all the gauges! :rolleyes:

All of the redone aircraft have overall fuel gauges. One measures the current tank, the other the overall remaining fuel. In most planes, the needle represents the tank and the red arrow (real life equivalent is the bingo bug) shows the overall percentage of fuel. In the P-47 series, they are side-by-side needles.

the red needle indicates the overall percent of fuel left nd the white needle indicates the amount left in the current tank.

Actually, if you open the E6B and leave it open when you close your clipboard it dissapears too. Just open clipboard and there it is again just by pressing ESC. That's how I do it anyway.

I wish the E6B wouldn't automatically close when you tower out.

Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.
