Modding Aircraft Speeds & Endurance Question

[kaybayray]

Greetings and <S> All
Thank you for any and all responses.

My question is very basic. My understand is, for example, an aircraft flying at 200 mph with an Endurance of 120 minutes (2 hours) can fly 400 miles Max Range. This is the basics of my understanding of the mechanics involved in this game.

The issue I am seeing is, that some aircraft I am modding the Max Speed, Cruise Speed and Endurance for are not changing any of the calculated Max Range, or any Range, Radius or Distance the modded aircraft can travel. This is in both the small calculation box at the bottom of the editor and in the Plane & Weapon Database in the game itself.

A particular aircraft I am modding for this question is the USA A-20A Havoc. Regardless of what values I place in the Editor for Max Speed, Cruise Speed and Endurance I get the output in the Plane & Weapon Database of Max Range 760 miles (19 hex) and Normal Radius 185 miles (5 hex).
Yes I do understand I must save the change in the Editor then I must close and reopen the Plane & Weapon Database for the changes to take effect. However there must be something I am missing as this same issue occurs with any aircraft I attempt to mod in this way.

I would very much appreciate any assistance in figuring out what I am doing wrong or what I am missing or not aware of.

Thank You for any and all replies.

OK, YES I am BLind. LOL

I found the input boxes in the Editor that will allow me to set the various Ranges and Radii I want for the aircraft I am creating or modding.

To the far right of the various weapon and equipment inputs for an aircraft are boxes for the Rng Mas, Rng Ext, etc... and the distances for the use or DT (Drop Tanks) as well. So all I need do now is determine the various ranges and radii I want the aircraft to be able to fly and manipulate the values for Max Speed, Cruise Speed and Endurance that correspond to those values.

Thank you to all those that looked at my question and pondered what the solution was.

I may be wrong, but the value in endurance ( and max load) do NOT work. There is some hard-coding that overrides these boxes. The planes just fly. The game must calculate the endurance based on the speed and the range value. in my mod i did put in the values that I estimated, but I do not think it has any impact
