BluBear Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Perfect, thanks mate! Going to have to memorise the 'picture' of those gauge settings, as the numbers are a little blurry in VR. A question, were the rpm gauges in order for fine tuning / synchronisation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
