Unfortunately the default 737 panel only shows two fuel tanks. The 737-800 we use has all three tanks defined. As you picked up, the values on the gauges are always less than actual due to this fact.
If you are adventuresome, you could try your hand at replacing the panel. There is a payware 2D panel that was released as freeware on Avsim. It is fairly decent, a step above the default for sure.

If you do get it installed, when you load the aircraft, it may seem like FS is about to crash...the gauges can take up to 30 seconds to load when you select the aircraft.
If you have any issues, let us know, we will be happy to help out.

Oh man, I wanted to hold out on buying add-on for another month but you're killing me with those pics. I hope Cal won't jump in with some from the Level-D.

Look for the link in Chuck Dickey's first reply to me at the beginning of the post.
What's the difference? It's stinkin' awesome, where the original was...not. This one actually gives you a read out on all three fuel tanks, the original only looks at two. It's got a very cool overhead panel, you manage electrical system, fuel system, and a bunch of other stuff (I'm tired now, no brain power). Once you practice start up a few times it's almost as fast as the old 'Ctrl-E' but way cooler.
The only thing I didn't figure out was how to go direct to a waypoint on the gps. You have a moving map feature there, but I can't program it except by going to 'Flight Planner' and manually entering waypoints by finding them on the wimpy little map that comes with FS9. You could download flight plans from Simroutes or use the ones that FS comes up with, either way. I do this before starting up, because using this way pauses flight sim. Not cool online in the air! Maybe someone else who uses this panel can help out. It's minor problem compared to the improvement. Maybe I can assign a key to bring up the 'old GPS'. Like I said, I'm tired and can't think straight right now. :ghostface: Can I do that?
I'll post a few more pics later, must run out the door now.
