Seneca II: extra-long-range tanks

https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20060818093900AABI7C4

"The Seneca can be modified to carry more fuel, however the Seneca
already has a terrible useful load capability. The engine-nacelle fuel
tanks offered by Tom's Aircraft (STC SA2205SW, originally by Nayak
Aviation) are auxiliary tanks and fuel must be transferred into the
mains to be used, a process which takes just over an hour for their
entire 30-gallon capacity. However, there are no gauges or indicators
whatsoever of fuel level or fuel transfer. So the only possible way to
"know" whether the fuel transferred or not is to watch the aircraft's
factory fuel gauges and determine, after an hour of flight where you've
added 30 gallons and burned 22-24, whether it looks like the gauges
indicate roughly 3-4 gallons more per side than they indicated an hour
before."

The attached patch implements said optional tanks. Additionally, it
corrects the max weight in the front and aft baggage holds to 100 pounds
each (instead of 200).

In "Equipment > Fuel and Payload", you can watch the nacelle tanks
slowly[1] empty themselves into the main tanks during flight. There is
no other way to know how much fuel remains in these tanks, just like in
reality.

Also, note that these tanks occupy space that was formerly available for
cargo in reality, but was never implemented in FlightGear. And
obviously, filling these tanks must be at the expense of payload. Like
in most aircraft, one cannot take max fuel and max payload at the same
time; it's a tradeoff.

The fuel in these tanks increases the range of the SenecaII from 800 to
970 nmi (approximately; actual range depends on payload, wind and how
well you fly...).

SenecaII : interior lighting and other improvements

* The overhead light switch is now a two-position switch and activates
the overhead lights.

* Illuminate the non-backlit areas of the cockpit with the overhead
lights: the charts on the copilot's seat, the instrument panel, the
throttle/RPM/mixture levers, coil flap levers, flap lever, etc.

* The left-hand electrical buttons (main battery, magnetos, start
button, etc.) and the instrument and radio light dimmers are no
longer back-lit and no longer controlled by the instrument light;
instead they are dimly lit only by the overhead light. I believe
this to be more realistic but then again I've never been in an
actual Seneca II, let alone at night :)

* Make the NAV1, NAV2, ADF and DME instruments use the radio light
dimmer (which was previously inoperative) and have the same color;
white, since NAV1 and NAV2 are not specific to the Seneca II but are
shared between various aircraft. Most importantly, the knobs are lit,
too, and therefore visible at night even without Ctrl+C.

* allow-toggle-cockpit=true; toggle with 'c'.

* Save the fuel and payload with the aircraft data.

* Models/dme.xml:
- Do not use a SenecaII-specific copy of the ki266 DME instrument; use
the shared one instead.
- Override the lighting to use the property /controls/lighting/radio-norm
instead of .../instruments-norm.

* Instruments-3d/ki266.{xml,ac}: remove.
