Feature request/idea

Post by caleb1 »

Just a silly (but possibly useful) idea I thought I might share.
It would be neat to be able to "mark" a gauge in an aircraft. Like one could mark something with a sharpie in real life.
For example, on the EGT gauge in the Comanche 250, it would be nice to place a mark at the desired max temp, since there are no markings.
or on the CHT place a mark at the ideal cruise temp. (since the yellow arc starts at 425, which is probably higher than ideal.)

It is indeed possible. You'd have to do it yourself by repainting, though. I do this to all my airplanes, as I want them to be reflecting my operation, as well as highlighting the powerplant limits.

This also makes it much easier to at a glance check that everything is indeed "in the green".

All the Accusim-planes are in my hangar, but they aren't sitting long enough for their engines to cool much before next flight!

Repaiting, I didn't think of that, thanks!
I'll have to do that sometime.
