Intermediate amouts of fuel

[milesobrian]

I dont know if this has been wish for already. but i was simply wondering how practical and worthwhile the ability to be able to choose the amount of fuel beyond the 1/4 intervals.  Im not being able to assign the exact % of fuel you want though that would be neat, but might take more effort to "coad''.  Simply maybe even have the fuel selection be in interval of 1/8^th would be useful I think...what do you guys think.  Or is 1/4 intervals of fuel good enough?

It would be great if you could type in the amount of fuel you want in each fuel tank.
Perhaps leave the basic option for the new guys (25%, 25% ect..) and have an advanced option witch allows you to type in the amount of fuel in % of gallons.

Amazing how the main arenas spawn so many unusual wishes.

It would be kind of cool to have the ability to really plan out your flight before hand and do the math for how much fuel you would need.

However, I can understand how that is more of a flight simulator thing rather than a combat simulator thing, the game just isn't designed around that style of play.  I've got FSX for that.

33%, 66% or 100%   

[milesobrian]

33%, 66% or 100%   

that would also be a good alternative in addiction to what we have now 33% and 66% 

[MachFly]

33%, 66% or 99%

Yeah but this is till a simulator. It maybe a combat simulator but you still need to plan your fuel to get to the target, do what ever it is you got to do, and get home.

+1 on this, provided you don't have to type it in.  If there were a slider that you could drag to set the amount of fuel, I would far prefer that.

Whats wrong with climbing out in the opposite direction for a few more minutes? Gets you more alt and you can head in with the amount of fuel you want.

I'm with minke on this but still +1...

I mean seriously. take the extra 5 minutes to climb another 5k feet...you'll need it

If you put a slider in for the fuel, please also add a text box input so I don't have to use the slider.

I just use an E6B (A real one, with a lot more features than AH2 one).

It depends on the aircraft, that extra 5 minutes in a Mossy will be extra 15-20minutes and extra 20K
