eatthis Posted May 19, 2020 Posted May 19, 2020 whats the ideal cruising speed and altitude for low fuel transits? ps no weapons 7700k @5ghz, 32gb 3200mhz ram, 2080ti, nvme drives, valve index vr
Psydshow Posted May 19, 2020 Posted May 19, 2020 About .55M at FL200, .6M at FL300, .72M at FL400 Hope you have a good seat, the F14 can spend a lot of time in the air when throttled back at high altitudes

You’re below bingo, either carry more fuel or refuel immediately after launch. Engines will burn around 7,000lbs/hr each. Even if you climb at an efficient speed, you’re not going to have much of a combat radius.

vadupleix Posted May 20, 2020 Posted May 20, 2020 not an option, started with 3500lb took off full mil climb to fl 40 then travelled 135 miles. landed with 900lb, that cruise profile worked a treat I was once at 30000ft, 120nm from home plate with 2000lb of fuel left, and a mig15 on my tail which required some afterburner time to get rid of. I went back eventually with a couple hundred pounds of fuel left. Amazing range of this aircraft.
sublime Posted May 20, 2020 Posted May 20, 2020 Thats the wonderful thing about thr new dce campaigns if u request urgent refueling the tanker flys at your flight. Usually i can be fully fuelled up and get up to 40k (and then 90% throttle burns 2k lbs per hr. And i got abr 14k lbs lbs left!) My wingmen use A ALOT of fuel. If u got time at ALL call fornthe tanker as soon as you wheels up (if youre intercepting more than 1 plane or cap - lol IRIAF camp otherwise same from CV) let your boys gonrefuel afta u call the tanker. Meanwhile you go up nice and high and throttle back. The flight will show up in 15 min or sonwith about 40% more fuel than they would have had. This can be the difference between wingmen crashing on the way home
