A couple of the other gauges seem to be slightly off, too. I'll see if I can give them a good going over and PM you the results. Maybe I'll try to make the temperature gauges more useful, too, although I really don't know what temperature level should correspond to the overheat message.
[EDIT] Yuck, the fuel gauges were all screwed up even before this mod. Instead of having the zero point at -60 degrees, they had the zero point at -49.5 degrees and were scaled up 32%. To top it all off, the gauges went from 0 to 1250 kg of fuel, when the flight model data says that the P-38 only carries 1164 kg of fuel (which, combined with the screwup in the zero level, made the gauge point to 100% when full).
I think I'll try to do this the right way and give them nonlinear scales and make the main tank needle move to zero before the reserve tank needle moves. I take back what I said about "quick edits."
