Fuel low qty. warning light and else

[sparow]

I noticed low fuel quantity light illuminates at 13 gal. and less while warning placard states light will be on at 40 gal. and less. What is true?
Another question is about service ceiling.In fact P47M service ceiling is about 41000 ft while I somehow managed to reach 47000ft! (unstable with little help of autopilot at max. speed of 155 knots )
Final note, there is no ice crystals stream effect at high attitude.Is there any fix for this?Thanks for deleivering this great flight sim.

There is a contrail fix over at the Out House I believe.

You are right. We did not put this in the aircraft.cfg file, but the wop_contrail effect is in there.

Place this in your aircraft.cfg file:

[GeneralEngineData]
max_contrail_temperature=-25

It's always possible to exceed the published combat or service ceiling. Those figures are for the altitude at which a certain rate of climb can be maintained, normally for civil aircraft it's 100 fpm but for combat aircraft the fpm value is usually quite a bit higher. So 47,000 feet is quite reasonable, especially if you just crept up there and did not have a warload.

As far as the gage, this is simply an adjustment in the .xml file. We were in error on that one, it just slipped by QC somehow. If you know how to edit the .xml files for gages, just change the value from 50 liters to 150 liters and you will be in business.
