Post by: buddyshamrock on November 16, 2017, 05:05:33 PM
Add fuel available in the top right display box ... saves going to E6 for status.

  Real pilots use E6B.  We use E6B.  These planes do not have a single fuel tank, so you don't have a single fuel gauge.  The P51D, for example, has three fuel tanks and three different fuel gauges.

Wait a minute....there is already a single fuel gauge. Its the red indicator on the fuel gauge. You want time till empty up in the hud/right corner?

  DUDE YOU IS WRONG
the only planes to have multiple fuel tanks I think are the bombers
the pony only has 1 fuel guage as with all the fighters I have seen. the have selectable fuel tanks though but only 1 fuel guage

what key would you use-as all the keys are already have uses for the-of course if you don't gv-then you could use the w's'a'd' buttons-but then again you have to use the Ctrl-Q and Shift-Q for CV action-so that means you can't use the Q button-tough choice to pick a button to use for E6B b because you to lazy to keep an eye on fuel guage or to check your e6b.. such a shame.

One gauge with 2 needles. Large needle showing selected tank, little red needle showing total fuel.

You are aware that we can make custom short-cut keys, right?
