...When your little Rotax 915 powered Kitfox with 150 horsepower which’s fuel burn at max power is about 12 gallons per hour irl, has a fuel burn of 110 gallons per hour in SimplePlanes?
Yeah. No. Of course we don’t love it
In fact, I’ve had to load my Kitfox with 240 gallons for it to have realistic range, which the real Kitfox has just 27 gallons of fuel. Seem ridiculous?
For some dumb reason, adjusting the amount of horsepower an engine has in SP doesn’t change it’s fuel burn. A 1000 horsepower beast has exactly the same amount of fuel burn as a 10 HP hang glider if you use the same engine. This is (quite blatantly obviously) stupid.
Lol. The only thing though is they make no noise and they can only have straight blades. @BACconcordepilot
Nah dude, it’s all good :) @ThatOneF15Eagle
Yeah, it says something like 24715368 or whatever. I didn't mean to offend you, I just wanted to meme a bit.
@jamesPLANESii
Yeah but it’s not the same. And it wrecks the numbers :/ @ThatOneF15Eagle
Infinite fuel tank:
observe
jet engines in this game with their fuel consumption rates are like a dual core running at 1.1ghz having a tdp of 250w
Andrew’s notification be like: That pesky jamesPLANESii tagged you once again on another one of his posts complaining about something else in the game
@AndrewGarrison
My tank uses a 1000HP engine, and yet, It lasts almost forever with just 39 Gallons.
An xml input for
fuelBurnoruseOldFuelBurnwould be useful, as then it keeps older builds more realistic/less broken (like the kitfox then having an endurance of ~20hrs, 8x the irl endurance)I'd like to have an independent setting for that. I had to use worse engines for my new plane because of just that.
i love how my trains with 2,000hp engines that have 1,000gal tanks irl only need 24gal to last forever
