remove instant startup of wingmen

[dmatsch]

besides AI tasking issues, AI aircraft have had KNOWN fuel management problems for more than a decade.  Full throttle all the way, Bingo fuel, ejection, repeat.

A quick alleviation would be on cold startups to delay wingman "instant startup", then waiting burning fuel while my INS aligns.

..or you could just fix the AI fuel management issues.  Your choice.

Wingmen used to have more realistic start up times. I'd like to go back for immersion purposes, however it doesn't increase fuel use.

 

AI planes use 0 fuel when stationary on the ground, even with engines running. I haven't tested this in quite a few DCS versions so you can double check with a fuel trigger if there is any doubt.

Thanks for the feedback.  I did not know either piece of into.  Let me check the trigger option out, however I know for a fact that I'm burning fuel waiting for a taxi.  Why would AI be different?  It's fine, tho.  I'll check with a trigger when I get a chance.

But please be mindful; There's an 800-pound gorilla in this thread, if you get the metaphor.

Untill they fix the AI. There should simply be a box to tick (infinite fuel for AI in your flight ) i know you can use triggers and what not. But they should just make it as easy as possible.
