jaguara5 Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 (edited) The M2000C has a nice option for selecting empty external fuel tanks on the mission editor. It's useful for simulating on air starting ''realistic'' BFM training setups, where the engaged aircrafts are positioned in close distance with the assumption that they have already consumed the external fuel flying to the training range and have the restriction to keep the tanks onboard as in real life (for cost reasons), so the pilots have to deal with that extra drag. Have heard that this can be done for other aircrafts by editing the respective lua files, but it would be cool to have that option already in game for more aircrafts, like for the 16 and the 18.

Kang Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 That would indeed be useful to have for more modules. It comes in handy for a lot of reasons, really, for example AAR training without ending up with short ranges, or managing take-off weight for certain situations.

Northstar98 Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Personally, it would be better if the mission editor had more fidelity, allowing you to adjust how much fuel are in things like external tanks.

SickSidewinder9 Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 I'm gonna bump this because I know I've suggested it before and it seems easy to implement. Especially useful for an air-start mission. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
