Get fuel range for a unit

[gesch80550]

I would like to setup an event on detection of a unit to send an aircraft to investigate or engage that unit, but I need to make sure that the aircraft selected has the range to reach the target...but I have not found any way to get the range (combat radius) of a unit based on its load out. Effectively I am trying to get the range part of the Range & Profile column from the Aircraft Loadouts in the Database Viewer.

I have not found any property of either Unit or Loadout that gives me that value. Does anyone know how to do this?
Or alternatively, if I can get the Performance data of the Engines, I might be able to back-calculate the range, but I can't find a way to get that value in Lua script either.

Thanks in advance

I'm afraid that there's no way to do it currently via Lua.

If you don't have too many units, you can create a table with your aircraft and copy paste the data from the DB to the table

Thanks - I was afraid of that. I had thought about storing a table, but the scenario has a lot of aircraft...maybe I'll try storing it by dbid & loadout Id instead of aircraft and try a lookup that way.
Definitely need something..I was just testing the current logic and it is spinning up a pair of aircraft with a combat radius of 170nm to go after a target 430nm away - that is clearly not going to work .

Thanks for confirming....
