Vacuum/suction gauge

I don't know if this is a bug either, but the red balls on the suction gauge seem to be missing. The text on the bottom reads L and R as well as Red = inoperative. When either a vacuum pump has failed or the engine is shut down, a red ball should pop out below the R or L indicating loss of suction on that side. The red balls seem to be nonexistent in my 310. I believe I have the latest version as well. Here is a screenshot with the engines shut down.

Well, this model has no 'balls' on the vacuum gauge. I'll see what can be done to "man up" this lovely lady... :lol:

Haha glad to hear! I had some trouble being serious when my instructor kept saying "balls sucked in" during my multi training...

As it happens, another project I've been working on has the same vacuum/suction gauge, so I cloned its balls and have now manned up the C310's suction gauge. It will appear in the next installer, probably tomorrow afternoon.
