Spare Fuel ?

[Cherokee W203]

Hey there Community!

 

I was flying the mission "VIP Passenger" i droped off the General at Kutaisi (at the last Checkpoint i got the "20mikes fuel left" caution light) and 500m before i was back at the UN camp "MASTER CAUTION" boop boom... i was totally out of fuel. :doh::cry:

 

So heres my question, how do i spare fuel in the Huey ? i was flying round about 100-120knots. full RPM and yea.. i flew directly to the waypoints, landings were also quick.

 

Thanks in advance!

Normally I would put cruise table from the flight manual here, but we all know that above 60kts the power settings don't correspond with either correct pitch, nor correct speed. Therefore saying that you flew too fast, and should stick to 90-100 kts range is not really valid in current build.

 

Experiment with air speeds, and wait for newer iteration of the FM, then we'll try apply the flight manual data.

Hi,

 

Flying slower I guess would be a good start. Okay, at the beginning of that mission you don't have a real choice, but later on, take it down to 80 knots.

 

As far as I remember my 20 minutes fuel light came on about as I approached the home Farp again.

another option might be to refuel at Kutaisi. just a thought.

For Huey the max endurance speeds are between 50-70 kts, depends on gross weight, altitude and air temperature. Didn't checked the fuel flow in the DCS, since we don't have matching power settings with higher speeds, those would have be off also.
