Please add "Endurance" to the Loadout Selection View

Post by DarkHorse2 »

Guys,

I must be the only player left that actually uses AC loadout selection, otherwise others would be fussing about the glaring omission as well. :(

When making a choice about loadouts, it would be very helpful to see how each impacts that AC resultant endurance (like the other AC Performance data fields listed).

This would be even easier to implement than "CR sorting by date." ;)

Every other field is displayed but Endurance.

Any other application would deem this a glaring implementation oversight and not a suggestion.

Let Matrix decide how to catagorize it. Most likely will be ignored, again, anyways.

It makes sense to me that "endurance" appears in that table... although just endurance without "cruising speed" seems a bit lame to me. Endurance represents the total minutes that an airplane can fly...at cruising speed.

You are correct and endurance is number of minutes of flight time.

The issue becomes that just having an "edurance mod: -37" doesn't mean anything without context and you can see its relevance to the orginal AC endurance values, like you can with the other data.

So, if the AC's given endurance, before adjustments is 450 (min), then a loadout mod of:

Code: Select all

Endurance: 450 (-37)     413
would be a reducation of 8% - not that big of deal. But if the endurance data is as follows:

Code: Select all

Endurance: 130 (-37)      93
would be a reduction of 28% - which is a more significant reduction and would result in a range reduction of a similiar percentage.

This is why it is important to include that line too in the Aircraft Performance Data - otherwise the endurance mod value has no context and is meaningless.
