Would love a feature where there was an option to display the numeric value of a particular gauge when you mouseover it. This would be especially helpful for diagnosing issues where a value is off-scale low or high, or where there's a positive value too small to be noticeable on an analogue gauge.
#Display precise gauge values on mouseover

Kind of like how you can display the attitude data above the ball on Gemini?

Yes, but doing that for every gauge would make the screen super-crowded, hence the suggestion of only doing it on mouseover

There's no reason for needing that precision outside of dev testing

The specific reason I thought of it was during a MOCR run the telemetry was showing a constant current of 0.14A on BAT A & B, and I had no idea if that was normal (or any way to experiment with it) because that's too small to be visible on the analogue cockpit gauges. 🤷🏻♂️

Well that's because they're not reading off a gauge, they're reading the exact value directly via the telemetry. The astronauts didn't have a mouse cursor to show the exact value for them

I'm aware of that. Thats why I suggested it could be an option, like turning on the display of the exact attitude values when you're flying a Mercury capsule. Which the Mercury astronauts couldn't do either.

Just because we can doesn't mean we should
