Additional Info and Functions

Dome Lights: The switch will turn on the background lighting at night, however the gauge back lighting is controlled by switches on the upper overhead panel.

Oil Quantity: The Oil Quantity gauges will show depletion of engine oil over time. The higher the rpm's of the engines the higher the rate of lost. This is typical of radial engines, mainly because if the inverted cylinders beneath the crank case and the thermal expansions an air cooled engine experiences. If the oil levels reach below 10 gallons the Oil System warning lights will display on the main panel. If the oil levels reach empty, kiss that fan goodbye. The oil levels will replenish every time you start the sim. Also remember all engines run a little different from each other. When was the last overhaul done?

Wing De-Ice: The gauges show the temperature of the heated air.
