Add setting to let us select fuel tank shown on fuel gauge

[spamRoast]

There are a few planes that have one fuel gauge to monitor multiple tanks. Like the bf110, for example, has one gauge and many tanks it can monitor. In the plane there's a switch to choose which to monitor, but it's not managed by us and the game automatically switches the tank you're viewing every 10 seconds. IIRC there are similar types of gauges in other planes that do the same thing. I don't remember what they monitored offhand, but it was the same concept where the game automatically switched between what you were viewing without your choice.

Can't we switch the tank manually ourselves? I know we don't have clickable cockpits, but there are many other things we manage without having clickable cockpits. Couldn't we have a setting that we can map like Change fuel tank shown on fuel gauge or something like that? You'd need to do something similar for the other gauges that automatically switch what you're monitoring, but I don't think there are too many cases.

 

The other day I had one engine out and very little fuel in the other. I was trying to decide if I could make it home or if I'd have to find another field or belly land her. It's hard to monitor fuel on one tank when it's automatically switching to other tanks.
