The warning lights are located at the top left of the main panel. Their purpose is to warn of a system failure or other dangerous conditions. Below you see the lights when the "test" button on the right is pressed: Left main engine, Right main engine, Hover Engines, Fuel (for both tanks) Hull Temperature, Flight Computer, Power System, G-Forces, Carbon Dioxide, Oxygen, Cabin pressure, Cabin Temperature, System, And Life Support.

(currently, there are no conditions for the power alarm failure. It cannot be triggered.)

When a system fails or some dangerous condition is created, the corresponding light will start to blink and you will hear also an alarm sound. Below, you see that all of our engines have failed. Not a very good thing for intrasolar travel...

An engine failure is self-explanatory. Hover engines are treated as one unit, despite that there are three "thrusters." If you begin to run low on fuel in one tank. (600 kg for the main tank, 100 kg for the RSC tank) the alarm will go off and you may wish to put fuel from one tank into the low one in order to temporarily alleviate the problem. If your Ship's Hull exceeds certain temperatures, it will burn up. However, Your ship will warn you before you reach these limits. The alarm will sound when:

Nose temp = 2200C (4000F)
Cockpit temp = 1300C (2370F)
Wing temp = 2200C (4000F)
Hull temp = 1300C (2370F)

Although you can, try not to exceed these temperatures. If you do, it won't be long before the heat overcomes your ship. The Flight computer Alarm will sound if you crash. (the computer cannot take the sudden shock and will freeze, requiring a reboot.)

G forces are dynamic, and people have different amounts of G's that they can handle. However, the alarm will sound when the crew experiences 6 G's. It would be wise, however, to keep this as low as possible. (more info on this in the "Crew Safety" page of this manual.

The Cabin pressure alarm currently sounds when pressure goes below acceptable levels and death occurs. (typically below 5.5 PSI) The Cabin temperature alarm will sound if temperatures go below 10 or above 35 degrees Celsius. (Below 50 and above 95 in Fahrenheit respectively)

The O2 alarm will sound should the crew experience extreme high/low O2 concentrations which are dependant on the cabin pressure. (more information on this subject in the "life Support" page) The life support alarm will sound should contaminants in the cabin exceed .1 parts per million. Similarly, the CO2 alarm wil sound when Carbon dioxide levels reach 10000 ppm.

A message indicating what's going wrong is also displayed in red on the system message's display located on the main panel, and the reset button will start to blink. If you press the reset button the alarm sound will stop until another alarm occurs; however, the light will continue to flash until the cause of the malfunction disappears. When a new alarm occurs, time acceleration will reset back to 1x (normal time) so that you don't die without any time to react.
