Soooo. Gauges must be those things that keep on telling me "Too low" Or "too fast" when doing a 10g dive recovery at 450kts, leveling off at 500 ft. Seems pretty high to me .
But seriously. Sitting in the (thingy)pit for hours admiring the gauges .

I wouldn't want to be relying on you as my Flight Engineer/Navigator/Co-Pilot!... ...!

Nope...
..you need more lessons in Flight School yet... ..!
You don't need to get transfixed on the gauges, you just need to understand what they are telling you, as you glance at them...
In between times...your should be looking where you are going!.... ...!
Paul.... 8-)...!
At any given time I could tell you the speed of the car to +/- 1mph just by intuition.
I know I'm a silly old Moo... ...and its only a Simulator... ....
...but if I am in an area where the chance of a successful landing is going be very unlikely upon engine failure...
I keep a wary eye on several very important gauges in front of me; Outside Air Temp (Carb Heat needed?), Air Speed Indicator/Altimeter (Pitot Tubes icing up?), Fuel gauges (low on gas?), Oil Pressure/Temperature (losing oil/cracked cylinder?), Cylinder Head Temperature/Exhaust Gas Temperature (Overheating/Mixture wrong ?), Air/Vacuum Pressure (Pumps OK?), Battery Volts/Amps (not charging?), etc...
If the needles aren't in the green, and things aren't running smoothly, then I need to take action without delay!
...all sorts of things can happen in an aeroplane, and failure of any one can mean a very bad day at the office if you are not prepared!
Its also very good practice for when Dad treats you to a Trial Flight in the Cessna 152, for your birthday...
...trust me... ...!
Paul...been there...done it...a few times... ...!

You're a better man than I am, Gunga Din! I couldn't do that & I've been driving for over 50 years. LOL
One thing I really enjoy in the Sim, particularly with my various GA Piston Props, singles and twins, is operating them within their safe/optimum operating conditions, especially regarding engine parameters.
As an example, for the Default Beech Baron 58:
I keep a wary eye on such things as; Outside Air Temperature (Pitot/Carb Heat), Manifold Pressure gauge(s), Exhaust Temp gauges, Cylinder Head Temp gauges, Oil Temp and Pressure gauges, RPM gauges (engine and propeller), Fuel Flow gauges, and the various effects of Throttle, Prop, and Mixture settings on the above!
I spend hours drilling extra holes in my various Panels to fit and install additional gauges (at vast expense!)!

Just a question Paul.
If a gauge stops working from a failure does that mean you must bail out? From what you guys are saying, :-?
