Anyone any info on the Speed and Height to fly for the optimum fuel efficiency in Lockon? A couple of times I have been flying back to land after taking damamge and leaking fuel, one time just made it back, had to glide in as the engines quit - what a blast! The other occasion, I had to punch out a couple of miles short. Most annoying and made me think about how high/fast I should try to fly in these situations. I use most every flyable in Lockon, so it would be nice to know this info for all of them............

The question is "can you land a Ka-50 on the Admiral Kuznetsov?"... Anyway, if you can fit an Su-33 in the hangar, then you should be able to fit a Ka-50 :)

i used it and it screwed my lockon FC up so bad it wouldnt work anymore had to re-install it all.

Nope... the most fuel eficient way to travel is between 26000 (to avoid contrail) and 33000 feet. While lower the engine is more efficient but the bigger is the drag. Increasing to high altitudes the drag decreases much faster than the loss of efficiency, added to the fact that high altitude thin air requires much faster speeds for the same amount of oxygen flow for the burn, and since you wont go any faster than your usual cruise speed- typicaly around mach 0.8-0.9 - it also means you get lower specific consumsumption despite what the loss of engine efficiency might compell you to think. This is why airliners fly at high altitudes and not sea skimming...

Hey for the record they were aiming those water pistols at me
