Martin Mars - water drop effect

I have the Virtavia Martin Mars water bomber and am wondering if anyone has setup a working
gauge for a water drop effect..? I have the effects configured in the aircraft.cfg but am hoping
there a working gauge that could be used from the panel.

Thanks...

Milton's gauge for the S2F would probably work. Just remember, if you're going for accuracy the Philippine Mars should have the effects come out the sides, the Hawaii Mars, out the bottom. (Oh, BTW take a gander at what I'm standing on in my avatar!!) :jump:

That avatar would be hard to beat, lucky you..!
 
Thank for the info.
I've tried the water drop gauge on the CL415 but it looks to be coded so it depends on the
drop doors in the model. The functionality is only part there.

I finally got the gauge to work in its entirety.
I needed to define a water rudder contact point and all is well.

I borrowed from the CL415 and FSX.
It still needs fine tuning. You say the Hawaii dropped from the bottom while the Phillipine
from the sides..? Do you know of a video showing this..?
