You have the ability to set the position of the tank with the setting to suit the aircraft. Due to the datum point being different on all aircraft Oliver isn't able to get the external loads placed perfectly for all aircraft. Once you have the position set it will remember that position for that aircraft in the future. I only mention this because the tank in the above picture is to high in the belly. It would normally sit below the fuselage by an inch or two hanging from 4 bolts normally.
Cool screenshot though 😀

The Fireboss, CL215 and 415 all land on the water with the scoops deployed already 95% of the time. That being said all firebombing aircraft that I am aware of have a switch to arm or disarm the tank. Retardant aircraft take of with the tank armed so they can jettison the load in the event of an emergency. Once they are at cruise, the tank is disarmed to prevent accidental dropping of the load. The skimmer aircraft take off dry land with the tank disarmed and land on the water with the tank disarmed to prevent the doors from opening. A switch that could prevent the tank drop button from dropping the load as well as an emergency dump switch that overrides everything including the drop controller and dumps the load at max drop rate would be very realistic.
Lorby Firefighter X is already the most fun I've had with a flight sim so these are only suggestions : )

That's great Reinhard, I love the customer service you guys supply, top notch for sure. Would it be to much to ask for the ability to be able to save a few different cover designs? Either way, thanks for considering my suggestion, much appreciated.

I run many different screen setups with Simplugins in my generic cockpit depending on what I happen to be flying at the time. Some of the physical gauge cutouts end up empty when I use certain configurations. I was thinking that if you could add a few placeholders for us cockpit builders to use that would simulate a hole in the panel or a unoperable gauge cover or possibly a carbon fibre cover? Personally I like the idea of a hole showing through the dash with a few wires etc hanging about : )
I tried both of them actually, I will go back and make sure I was testing the FSX one and not the xplane one twice.

Edit: I was using the FSX gauge in FSX and it's not spinning when the props are out of sync. Thanks for the quick reply, it's not much of an issue as everything else is working beautifully.
I was testing out a new twin piston panel today and noticed the prop sync guage does not spin when the props are out of sync? The guage is functioning in FSX but not Panel Builder. I'm using the latest version 2.92.
Love these guages by the way, the updates and improvments you have made since first release is awesome. I think these are the smoothest running, nicest looking generic gauges on the market.
