Title: E6B Dot Command
Post by: Husky01 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.

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.

And it shouldn't take a whole pile of coad to make it happen.
