Feature Suggestion: Manually enter amount of fuel

[CaptainTech]

Hello.

I really like FlightGear and I am really looking forward to Version 3.6.0

But here is a feature suggestion:


My feature suggestion enables the user to enter the desired left fuel manually. While manipulating the screenshot, I forgot to do the same for the payload weight (Crew / PaxBaggage), but I hope that it is clear, what I mean.
This can be useful for some power users, who want to enter the exact amount of fuel.

(Please ignore the faulty numbers: Total: 8018.2 1193.2 0.02 - I were too lazy )

Thank you for considering my feature suggestion.

from what i've seen, this is up to each aircraft to implement as they see fit...

FWIW: 3.6 won't be released due to problems beyond the team's control... the next release, possibly 3.8, is being worked on at this time... testing of 3.7 is ongoing...

There is a generic dialog being created, but the specific aircraft can override it and replace it by a custom one. I'm not sure that's a functionality needed - power users can enter the exact amount of fuel using the property browser...

More elegant is the solution I've seen for the 707 where you can order a fuel truck and request a certain amount of fuel to be added - and then watch it happening for the next 15 minutes...
