Fuel Gauge Textures
-
I noticed that the right Fuel Gauge Texture is skewed as opposed to the left. The 10 Gallon tick mark on the left gauge is left of center, where as, the right gauge is right of center. Really looks odd.
-
Does anyone else have this issue? No one seems to reply, which makes me wonder if it has something to do with the cleaned texture replacements.

You can tell it's a weekend and in the middle of summer
it's very quiet. Yes, you're right, from the original panel the look of the left and right tank gauges are not the same. -
But if you notice, they have symmetry depending of the tank they indicate. I haven't flown a warrior in real life so I don't know if it's like that or not.
The following photo of a real panel shows that both indicators are the same

This Warrior was based on a real aeroplane - G-BOZI. Since the XP11 and P3D versions are the same as the MSFS version, I would assume this is reflective of that aircraft's gauges.

@richavery That may be so, it just makes it a little weird trying to keep them the same while flying. The Arrow's are symmetrical which make it really easy to judge. I am just glad it isn't my install only..
-
@Pivot2163 I agree with you. It's a case of balance really, isn't it? While the way the aircraft looks might be truly reflective of G-BOZI, I suppose it isn't necessarily reflective of the other aircraft whose liveries are included in the package or any other liveries people might use.
Just as JF give us the option of having clean textures as opposed to those depicting scratches and marks in their research aircraft, maybe it would be a good idea to give us a choice of having symmetrical fuel gauges (preferably both being the same as the current left tank's)?

I look at it as a matter of adapting to the aircraft you are in, I don't think it will take very many flights for me to 'eyeball' the correct fuel in the warrior. Look at the 172, it's fuel gauge markings are symmetrical and nearly useless.

I can confirm that this configuration is an exact replica of the real life G-BOZI. It's common to have all sorts of non-standard configurations, at least in the UK training fleets of this age.
