Thanks for the tip about enabling the reserve amount to show up on the fuel gauge, didn't know that.

I found out you can switch to the reserve fuel tank last time I was online. Was in a Hurricane, coming back from a long sortie over France, when the engine started spluttering within sight of the English coast. I looked at the fuel gauge, saw it was on empty and realized what was happening. Was preparing to ditch in the sea, when I thought, hang on...what happens if I switch to the reserve tanks? Sure enough, the engine started running smooth again and I was able to make it back to base alright. If I'd known I could make the fuel gauge show the reserve tanks' level I would have done so. I actually wondered at the time how I was supposed to know how much reserve fuel was left, but just figured it was a given amount of flying time that the real pilots would have been taught and which I didn't know.
