Great stuff, looking forward to it very much 8-)
Will it be compatible with single engine aircraft as well ?
Thanks

No this one is for Dual engines only. Since Tony had already made one for single engine, I didn't want to be redundant.

It’s a WIP, but when it will be finished, I will put it on the store, sure.

Tony won’t share it for now.
I’ll have to modify your version to single engine then, if you are willing to share it with the community :)
Thanks

I didn’t say I won’t. I said I can’t. There’s a big difference.

Since the behaviour is quite different between the two gauges, even in the startup sequence, it’s gonna be a pain.
Anyway the gauge is not ready, currently working on other projects, namely the 320Neo mod for MSFS.
When steam will be released with the other project, will probably resume work on this one, but no ETA at all.

Hi Jacques,

would you mind if I use the graphics you posted for the single engine version? I've already completed quite a bit of code in the last few days so most of the everyday features are completed:

DONE:
- Manual selection and cycling of the 6 display modes
- Trip Mode
- Resetting USED (via hold AUTO for 3s)
- PROG MENU supports FUEL ADD, TRIP y/n, and cycle RATE.
- Initial FUEL ADD after startup
- Fuel-Unit and Main- & Aux-Tank Size can be set via user properties
- An automatic fill mode can be activated via properties (useful for casual pilots)

TODO:
- Lots of testing
- Alarms
- (Optional) persistence of current fuel (which only makes sense if your aircraft in XP persists the fuel as well)

Best regards
Florian

Sure. I can even send you the different graphic resources elements as ready to use png elements, as long as you share the final result.
Can't wait to see what you've ended up with.

Will send you a PM in the following days

Great! I'll submit the instrument together with the other gauges I made (Piper Arrow III Airspeed, FF&MAP & RPM) as soon as I've thouroughly tested everything... should only be a matter of one or two weeks now...
