Unlimited Fuel?

Post by Towerboss » Fri Nov 17, 2006 6:02 pm

I noticed yall fly with unlimited fuel... why? Why doesn't LOMAC model the fuel burn correctly enough that yall can do it with that option off.

For a couple reasons Towerboss. First off, we are flying an F15 flight model so its already a bit different and of course with regards to a/c wieght and performance. With that there is also 2 engines on board, twice the fuel burn loss so as you can imagine just finding a good fuel load and keeping it there helps us tremendously....Im sure if the Real Thunderbirds could think of a way to enable "unlimited fuel" in real life they would too LOL.
