A tell-tale hand for the G-meter would be nice.

Hope you consider it, HTC.

I can never find these so-called "G-Meters" in any of the planes! Are they real or not!

He means a marker for the higest value reached during the flight.

u mean like if the highest G's he has reached during flight is 4 than a marker on the G-Meter stays at 4?

An additional marker for the highest value the regular needle reached.

I don't know if "needle" is a more used the term in the US than "hand". Has hand a bit more British ring to it, dunno. Anyways, moot understood what I meant.

There could also be a separate key for resetting it and maybe the scale of the gauge could be taken up to 10Gs. It would provide some entertainment as you limp home with a 262 with missing wing tips.
