[FIXED][1268.1] Fuel Consumption

[rickywild]

I think it doesn't work from "Tiny".

In the mission, there are two F/A-18C with 3 drop tanks.
1st with Mk84, radius in DB is 340nm
2nd is a ferry, radius is 1950nm / 2 = 975nm
but both have a fuel burn of 27.2 kg/min

The second Flight is a pair of A-6E with 22 Mk-82 each.
One plane strikes a building, the other remains his bombs.
After that, both have the same fuel burn rate.

So, there is no penalty for loadout.
What does it mean? There is no reason to use light loadout. For example, F-14A with a heavy loadout can stay at CAP for 4h 40 mins till bingo instead of 96 min as in the database.

I'd like to raise this, as it has a huge impact on mission planning and realism.

I checked in "official" and it works well there. Planes with different loadout consume different amounts of fuel.
But in beta, it doesn't work.

Please let me know if is it a known defect and is and will be fixed.
Regards.

This will be fixed in a future 'Tiny' beta update. Probably build 1270. Thanks for the report.
