Aces High Planes Fuel Chart
« on: September 05, 2011, 06:30:58 PM »
Gents,
  I've compiled a table containing every plane in the game along with
it's burn time at full power (no WEP) with 100 percent fuel.
  As well, all possible drop/slipper tank combinations are included.
  This is a handly little "tool" both for regular pilots as well as
"mission maker" types, C.O.s, Operations Officers, etc..
  It'll print out nicely to five or six pages.

Yours for the taking, compliments of The 47 Ronin.

Nice.  Although I should mention that the Me262 is not accurate.  Since your fuel economy improves when you gain speed, it turns out to be closer to ~35 minutes of flight time.

Job well done.  I actually did a fuel chart about a year ago that includes all the aircraft and all the fuel configurations from %100 and up with each additional fuel tank(s).  Aircraft like the P47 have a number of configurations that they could choose from. 

Thanks again!   :salute

Not that I fly bombers but I didn't see anything for the B-24. Did I miss it somewhere?

Great chart!

For really long missions, I find that there is a sweet spot determined by climb rate and engine power that is very different in all the planes.

Climb outside this sweet spot and your mission is considerably shorter.

Get it right and you will be baiting 163s over enemy HQ with c205s and yak9s.

Just a quick (and probably dumb) question.

Does the burn rate multiplier give you a linear relation. IE: if I use your charts in events like FSO, do I simply multiply the numbers by 2?

Hmm I wonder wtf I was doing it that way anyway.  I do recall being drunk and confusing myself one nite in a special event and was having trouble trying to figure 1.5 fuel burn.   :rofl I AM TEH MAFF WIZ
