Pounds instead of % for the fuel load

Valid approach to a computer game and a round of air quake, but there is a considerable part of the community that does mission planning and really consider things like playtime versus weight and maneuverability or maximum weapons load at temperature/altitude.

Especially if you fly the Harrier or helicopters...

60% matches the type of flying I normally do and represents the Flanker’s basic fuel load, filling only tanks 2 & 3.

But if you know your aircrafts fuel capacity then the math's is simple yeah or did too many people miss that class lol?

How do guys get on when you have to do the math's with fuel flow and range to tanker or home base in pitch black, tired and instruments glowing at you with no friendly airbase to drop into

Laziness here. I don't want to do the math.

The request is an MP one isn’t it? In the ME you have either option with (Edit: typo. Should read “without”) the need to add or subtract. In MP refueling you only have %IIRC. I only take 60% fuel in the Flanker so I don’t pay attention.

 

I am the wrong person to edit you know I can't type. Seriously though the weight issue is important with the Harrier as you can't take off vertically if you're too heavy

Easy, get in the books find what the max cruise range is for an altitude, check your fuel flow in the E models' case x it by 2 and you have your POUNDS per hour burn rate. Not a percentage of fuel burn rate. Percent is only in the in game refuel/rearm box. There should at least be an option for it and also an option to stop refuel whenever you want on the ground. Sort of like the AR disconnect.

Out of curiosity it took me an hour* to get it working as a mod. Just displayed fuel weight numbers need some fixing. *Actual programming effort is a minute.
