(Mis)management of aircraft fuel supply

I assume that it's a known issue, that proper fuel management mechanics were never implemented in the game, and that it would not be feasible or even possible to mod it now, but I'm surprised not seeing it being discussed anywhere, so here we go.

First I've realized, that no matter how much fuel my ...

Thank you.

Editor - I can't load a savegame

Generally the editor seems to work alright with my Office 2015, however I seem to be unable to load a savegame. Could this be caused by my very long path (E:\Matrix Slitherine\Gary Grigsby's Eagle Day to the Bombing of the Reich\DAT\Save\BTR\) or is this feature broken? Any fix/workaround?

EDIT: I ...

Re: Me 410B-2/U4 vs Me 410B-2/U2

I can see, that for Me 410B-2/U4 it's all centered around the 50mm Bk5 cannon, which has very high penetration and quite low accuracy (which seems to be historically accurate), and is causing some additional drag. Still, it's not a pod, just plane's nose modification AFAIK, so would it have such big ...

Me 410B-2/U4 vs Me 410B-2/U2

After a few year break back into the game and OFC into the editor ;).

I'm just curious, why is U4 so much worse in almost every important stat except altitude performance than U2? Doesn't seem to me, that with those stats it would make any sense to rearm from U2 to U4 configuration. It's also ...

RE: New Developer Beta Hotfix for EDBTR patch version 1.06.

<t> Thanks for your answers. Years ago I have played and edited a bit the original BTR, but I was never deep into editing it (I think, I was decrypting the files myself and directly hexediting them) and I don't remember much anyway. Let's see, what's the story with the next data inconsistency, that ...

RE: New Developer Beta Hotfix for EDBTR patch version 1.06.

<t> Another thing found in BTR43. Why do we have Ga variants of Bf 109G-2 and Bf 109G-6, and Ga Parts?<br/>
<br/>
Stats for Bf 109G-2 and Bf 109Ga-2 are identical, except the pictures used, production dates and replacements, so is there any reason to list it at all?<br/>
The same seems to be the ...

RE: New Developer Beta Hotfix for EDBTR patch version 1.06.

<t> For the sake of historical accuracy.<br/>
<br/>
Checking BTR43 files I've found Mielec-Heinkel Flugkomponente Fabric (ID 1396) set to produce He 162 Assembly and Parts with 520 delay. Doesn't seem to make much sense to me, as Soviets occupied Mielec on August 6th, 1944, which is over 4 months ...

RE: Unofficial EDBTR Database Editor Re-release

<t> Yesterday I was finally able to find a legal download of 32 bit MS Office 2016 with a 30-day free trial key (those were pretty common 2-3 years ago, but lately most of the downloads has been removed on Microsoft's request). I'm using OpenOffice and LibreOffice since Microsoft has removed normal ...

RE: What is your ONE must have item?

<t> That's the point. I'm a very satisfied user of LibreOffice and I'm certainly not willing to subscribe to/buy MS Office just to use the editor.<br/>
<br/>
And I'm pretty sure, that I'm not the only one here, that is not using Office 365. Even in the corporate market Office 365 has only close to ...

If not possible, then a version of the existing "Unofficial Editor" (Version 1.15 for Excel) working with OpenOffice, LibreOffice or Google Docs. Many of us no longer use MSOffice, and the macros are not compatible with freeware alternatives, making the ...

RE: Have WitP, should I buy WitP:AE?

Thank you for all the answers. My 12 Year Anniversary Reward has just arrived, so it's time to make the final choices. This year WitP:AE will definitely be one of the chosen :)

Have WitP, should I buy WitP:AE?

<r> I have played the old Pacific War and I have enjoyed it a lot. Then quite a few years ago I've got WitP, but never had time to really play it, just played a bit with it instead.<br/>

I think, that I vaguely remember having some problems with Imperial aircraft squadrons, which AI was ...
