Honestly: this sounds like a much better solution. The current system feels unnaturally soft and you have to constantly adjust stick position where in reality you would just 'adjust' stick force. Also, it seems almost impossible to develop a situation-independent muscle memory for stick positions now.

The first one is an Odgen M35 lawnmower, the second one is a F-15E Strike Eagle flying inverted with pink hearts painted on the side, the third one is my grandpa snoring. Where is my price?

Probably known and reported, but: - I think the warning light colors are backwards: the rear tank warning light should be white and the front tank warning light should be red. - *Probably* the rear tank should empty first automatically. (I'm not sure about this, because I got it from the flight manual from an A-1, but please investigate if this is relevant for the D-9.) I think the system worked by letting the engine pump draw more fuel than actually needed from both tanks, but the surplus was routed back into the forward tank, thereby closing the valve for the forward tank. With this mechanism you effectively draw fuel only from the rear tank as long as the engine gets enough fuel from it. When the engine pump starts to starve, the forward tank is 'opened'. On a side note: in the current implementation, even if you switch off the forward fuel pump, it seems almost impossible to empty the rear tank before the forward tank without using the fuel selector lever.
