New in-flight refueling gauge (freeware)

I have used this utility before but I had this problem - the AI aircraft was flying at a steady altitude and speed, however it was constantly pitching up and down - a couple of degrees. It was really strange.
I seem to have the same AI behavior and the greater the speed the greater the change in altitude but I'll fly more flights to see if this program is more useful.
 
I use with IRIS F-20 and IRIS F-14, and deleted the refueling gauge
My idea was that if you used the refueling gauge on an aircraft that also had the COP3 gauge - this is why the refueling gauge pops up on every view. The COP3 gauge keeps one of its windows (the COP3 control panel) always open, and my gauge has the same ident as the COP3 window. So the problem is very easy to fix - in the panel.cfg simply change the ident of the refueling gauge from "ident=10080" to "ident=10180" and that's it - the refueling gauge will appear only when you call it :)

Thanks neutrino
problem solved
 
Hi neutrino,

Loving the refuelling gauge and the KC-135... I wonder if I could make a request? My buddies and I use the David Maltby AI VC-10 with the visible drogues for refuelling. Is it possible to reconfigure the gauge so that we can refuel from either drogue position on the VC-10?
