P-39 Fuel Gauge

[tomekpl]

Think its broken, I ran out of fuel when both dials were pointing at maximum, was 63 minute sortie with no prior damage to fuel lines, even with damage the gauges should have went down. Not sure if other planes effected, but P-39 needs fuel gauges looked into, or at least my P-39.

Will test next week.

The p39 gauge doesn't work for me either.

I also have the feeling the p38 3rd fuel tank gauge moves much faster than than the other two.

Gophur, if you are testing this- there might be a real reason for it, but the fuel consumption based on the gauges seems to accelerate in the Hawk 81 and Hawk 87 (didn't test Hawk75) too. The gauges are definitely not linear as the scale would suggest, the first 100L of fuel take about 30 minutes to use up and the last 100L of fuel only about 5-10 minutes, each subsequent 100L of fuel being enough for only shorter time.

Bump.

I have not seen the gauge working yet and want to give a reminder in case you all have some spare time and just forgot.

Also, to add to the Bell (P-39), one of the machine guns (.30 cal) in the right wing has an odd trajectory. It seems to be firing outside convergence. I will make a video eventually to better show since I can not figure how to describe it in type.
