It seems that it isn't possible to dump fuel. You can bring up the property browser on the menu and look at the fuel/ path.

If you are talking about the instrument panels, those are 2D panels, with the exception of the j3cub instruments which were all done in ac3d file format. Take a look at README.xmlpanel in docs-mini directory of the distribution for info on the 2D panel. Take a look at http://www.flightgear.org/Docs/fgfs-model-howto.html for information on animating 3D instruments. > I was originally interested in creating a 2d panel but of course a 3d > cockpit would work a lot better for the 747 cockpit. > I started one last summer and have quite a bit of info. Basically I put it aside until this winter because it became apparent that I need to get better at modeling and it is going to take a lot of time.
