Fuel Tanks in "Aircraft Weapons"-section having no effect

Post by Wiedrock »

Adding/Removing Fuel tanks of any kind to the "Aircraft Weapons"-section ...or DEVICE section, has no effect on neither the fuel usage nor the range of the aircraft.
An Aircraft which is using this type of "Fuel-increase-(try)" is the Ju 88D-1 recon aircraft.

after adding tanks to weapon sets you have to hit "calculate" to see effects. Those won't be added to main aircraft stats in Editor, only ingame for range calculations

and adding them to the main equipment is soemthing I just made for display purposes

Yes that I know, I was referring to the 1220L tank.

Ahh, I got it. You already added the extra fuel as the "base fuel" and wanted to show it in this Weapons Menu. Okay.

I've come across this because I am currently modding some planes (where sufficient Loadouts are free [e.g. He 111-3]) to have more Fuel Loadout options, since Historically they exactly calculated how much they need and did not just fly with full tanks a mission which would need only 30% of capacity. He 111 Manual states to only fill the outer tanks for long range missions!

...I am not sure about the night fighters, but the Ju 88D-2 has this internal 1220L as a separate Loadout (currently in game), could we get it similarly done for the Ju 88D-1 Version to have better control over the Fuel/Loadout? (the one I posted [HU/RU laso have some of them too]).
So like:
base /
L1: 1220int
L2: 1220int+900ext
L3: 1220int+2x900ext
