Fuel Low lights

[bpieke]

I just ran down my main tanks without getting any warning lights..

.. and I see no mention of the "Fuel Low" gauges in the panel.cfg file..

Are they operational?

From the other thread:

However, I flew the main tanks dry without a single warning.. switched to aux tanks when
the engines stopped, and flew on until the aux tanks were down to a gallon and a half..

The indicators are for the aux tanks, not the main tanks and should indicate when it is time to switch back to the main tanks.
Procedure for long flights is to start on the main tanks, later switch to the aux tanks, when they're empty switch back to the main tanks. See 5-11 (page 52) in the user manual for reasons, timing and more details.

(but I haven't verified yet if the indicators actually work)

Edit: Oh, I just noticed that I seem to have mixed up the "low fuel" indicators and the "aux tank in use" indicators.

Actually, the lights do work... I guess I just did not really really notice them
