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.

That will come in handy... gracias sir

Looks great. You know that AKDogg of the AK made one aswell.
-
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.
-
Nicely done! :aok Thanks for the effort.
-
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.

whats the altitude base? great job by the way!
-
I made one myself awhlie back that prints onto 1 sheet. if I can find a place to host it i'll post link.
ahh yes it is still on my old squads website:

Some of your charts are incomplete.
-
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?

yes.. and for 1.5 its *3/2

:headscratch:
I'll do *1.5 if yee don' meind :noid
:D

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

Thanks for the input, Grizz. I'll rework it to 35, then.

Hi Boo, thanks for the input. It is indeed an oversight on my part. I'm goin' in now
to add that and amend the 262 to 35 mins per Grizz advice.
My best, Odd

how does the P47M gain fuel economy as it uses more power? just one of the "off" things i dont get about engines... :headscratch:

Without getting too specific on something I only casually know about... the P-47M uses a water injection system when using WEP... thereby burning LESS fuel while using WEP.... or something like that.

ahhh..ok. but i thought the jug used a canister (im at a lack of words for the actual thing) to inject cold air into the engine making it faster.

Here is what AKDogg looks like. Not sure if he update it with the latest additions.

That was only a guess. You'd probably have to get it to ~425mph and see what the GPH is at that speed. Take (total # of initial gallons divided by that)*60 and you should be pretty close to an average value in minutes.
