_SteelFalcon_ Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 It seems that in DCS, the time displayed in the DED CRUS EDR subpage is calculated from the Opt Mach speed, instead of the current throttle setting. According to the -34 (page 1-328), the time should be dependent on the current consumption rate (fuel flow) and the current altitude, not the Opt Mach. I mean, it is impossible to have a time to bingo (2000lbs) of 1:55:42 with a fuel load of total 8400lbs and a fuel flow of 12300lbs per hour Some part of the modeling seems to be correct tho, as the speed in which the timer ticks down is dependent on throttle and altitude. but the base time value should not be calculated with the Opt MACH, but instead the current fuel flow. The caret in the HUD should show OPT MACH, but the time should be calculated from the current consumption, not OPT MACH. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_SteelFalcon_ Posted January 9, 2023 Author Share Posted January 9, 2023 (edited) Why track replay? Everything you need to see is on that screenshot… i have an unrealisticly high time to bingo compared to my fuel flow and total fuel load. With a fuel load of 8400lbs and a burn of 12300lbs per hour, it doesnt take a track replay to realize a time to BINGO (2000lbs) of almost 2h just cannot be correct… Edited January 9, 2023 by _SteelFalcon_ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonshine Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 (edited) as you can see, i have full internal fuel, full centerline bag, 9100lbs of fuel. with a fuel flow of around 8000lbs PER HOUR OF FLIGHT with the current throttle setting, the EDR still tells me that i have more than 2h of flight until BINGO (2000 lbs) sadly ill be empty in half the time. this does not correspond to the intended behavior described in the referenced manual on the referenced page by SteelFalcon. the function in DCS is not correctly implemented as described in the manual. Edit: added second track with no bags installed, only internal fuel, used AB to loose some gas at first, then set the throttle to a normal position and letting the fuel flow stabilize at around 7100lbs per hour. still EDR tells me that i can fly more than 1h30 with the current fuel until i reach BINGO. nonsense EDR_BUG.trk EDR_BUG_1.trk Edited January 9, 2023 by Moonshine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
