xifu Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 Hi all, It is my first post here although I read all you write because all of you give me a great information about de DCS: A-10C and all about DCS products . First of all I want to say, thanks to ED for that GREAT sim, and the opportunity to test de beta till de final product is released. You've done a good work :thumbup: I would like to know if there is a page in de CDU panel where show us an informacion about de fuel remaining, estimated fuel to X steerpoint, Fly time, etc. If not, is there any way to calculate this data?. Thanks a lot. :smilewink: Xifu Escuadron69(spain) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] http://www.escuadron69.net/v20/foro/index.php?app=ccs
Zenra Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 I have not discovered any fuel planning information in the CDU like you find in an FMS in commercial planes. One way to calculate, of course, it to divide your total pounds of fuel remaining by your fuel flow - result is the number of minutes of flying time you have at current throttle, altitude and configuration. As flight parameters change, of course, YMMV :) Zenra Intel i7 930 2.8GHz; ATI HD5850 1GB; 1TB Serial ATA-II; 12GB DDR3-1333; 24 x DL DVD+/-RW Drive; 800W PSU; Win7-64; TM Warthog HOTAS

I think most of planes have this in his computers. greetings [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] http://www.escuadron69.net/v20/foro/index.php?app=ccs
Scabbers Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 There is no page in the sim. There is a page in the new R/L A-10 CDU OFP. Now where is that speed brakes control again? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Zenra Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 There is no page in the sim. There is a page in the new R/L A-10 CDU OFP. Interesting - not that I doubt, but do you have a reference, forex from one of the RW manuals? It's not like ED to leave something like this out, and I would say that it's probably WIP except that I find no reference to it in the DSC A-10C manual either...

GGTharos Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 It is your responsibility to scan the fuel gauge, alarm or no alarm. Make it a habit :) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda
