Jet Fuel Consumption

Did they change fuel consumption? Because jets seemed to burn through fuel disproportionately fast before, and now they seem to do so even more enthusiastically.

    @SHCow Your planes are supersonic at 10% throttle anyway! :V

    Considering most of the time people fly around at 100% throttle, full afterburner, and most real modern fighter jets can carry 3000+ gallons of fuel, and real planes burn fuel alarmingly fast with afterburners ignited (P&W F100 afterburns at an astonishing 1.94 lb/(lbf·h)), you can't really call it unrealistic. Cart around a couple thousand gallons, throttle conservatively, and cruise at an appropriate altitude, and you'll find your fuel lasting much longer. Or just use the basic props, they are very efficient.

    @TheLieutenant There's no option, just modded tanks to have 2 million gallons or so.

    Wait, there's an unlimited fuel tank option somewhere? And yeah, I'm talking about the high end jets. My Arjan series jet goes through it all in like 5 minutes since the patch.
