Hi
Are there any plans to support multiple fuel tanks in the flight details panel.
I really like the fact that the fuel usage is overlayed on the W&B graph, but it's only useable on aircraft with a single fuel tank.
I realise it is complicated as different people will have different needs when it comes to managing fuel!

You can add another fuel tank to an aircraft profile, but SkyDemon simply won't be able to automatically distribute the fuel weight, you'll have to fill that in yourself in the weight and balance. It also doesn't know the maximum capacity of each individual tank so can't work out the full-fuel weight (well it can, but not the CoG).
We would like to support this in the future and certainly will if the demand is there.

Thanks - that's how I'm currently using it.
I've renamed the main tank from Fuel to Fuel (front) so the automatic calculations don't 'overfill' it. The only thing that doesn't work is the CoG stuff so it's not the end of the world.
I'd definitely vote for this as a feature request though.
