I'm pretty sure the gauge is on the current Hawk 87, it's just that it's location prevents it from being seen, owing the the view limitations of IL2's cockpits.

The gauge for the main (center) tank in on the floor ahead of the joystick.

A real pilot would only have to lean a bit to see it.

Here is a photo of a real P 40 N cockpit.

On the floor, just ahead and to the right of the joystick is the fuel gauge for the main tank.

You know they fixed that issue a couple of patches ago? You can now lean forward, side to side, etc? So you can see the gauge just fine now but its non-functional. Doesn't move regardless of fuel state.

Like I said... I believe the plan is new P-40E/M external model and cockpit as well. It's basically going to be a new plane.

Any updates today?

So yeah, early Yaks, Fiat G.50, late P-40s and the F6F Hellcat don't have fuel gauges. It's a drag, because I don't want to fly a plane that doesn't show fuel. A workaround would be to put the fuel level as an individual hud option like the speedbar. Wouldn't have to update the F6F cockpit at all, heh, heh, heh.

I just love the music used in these updates...

I'm pretty sure that even with TIR seeing that gauge is nigh on to impossible.

I'll fire up the game and have a look later today.
