The fuel flow gauge allows you to monitor how much fuel you are burning. You can output this in either Pounds or Gallons and each has two different ranges  (Lbs 0-8, Lbs 0-16, Gallons 0-16, Gallons 0-64). This gauge is not designed for high fuel burn and or Jets.

N/A

Sidebar has fuel flow in digital output for all available engines.

 

If the blanking plate is used instead of the sidebar, then colour of the plate can now be changed by editing variable [FG_GLOBAL_BLANKING_COLOUR] in SPAD.neXt data monitor.
