Title: Spit XIV gear indicators
Post by: popeye on January 18, 2019, 04:55:21 PM

I wish the Spit XIV gear-down indicators were as bright green as the Spit VIII, so I wouldn't climb to 15k with the gear down wondering why it was so slow to altitude.   :O

(Spit XVI and IX indicators are also dim.)

I heard it was so they didn't make the pilot look so bad.

There are gear indicators that pop up from the top of the wings when the gear are down, FYI.  They are modeled in AH.
