You can memorize where they are by zooming into the guages and reading what they measure.

When it comes to throttle managment or rudder control, i'm pretty much clueless

Can anybody can offer any advice on how to manage either, especially in regards to dogfighting?

I would also be grateful for any tips regarding control of either in other situations, such as strafing, diving, etc.

Many thanks in advance

Biggest use of rudder in combat for me is to yaw the plane left and right to spray a target without turning off of that target

now that i know how to read gauges and ive tried to pass tiger hun on sim with one life my p-51 keep losing all the fuel pressure even tough i havent been hit i hope it just a glitch but it seems impossible to pass it with one life because of this, the spitfire doesnt seem to have this anyone passed it with one life??

[SleepTrgt]

One life seems really hard, because you only have 20 shots. First target you already need to take out 5. And it aint easy to hit them!

And yea i also dont know what is goin on with that fuel pressure.
