AI communications need FUEL STATE message.

When flying with AI, there needs to be a 'fuel state' or just 'state' message, so player can know fuel amount in flight. Using own state to guess wingmen's fuel, is not reliable.

Yes, fuel management and reporting including drop tank control is always of some importance and with some types is a critical mission control.

True statement. The only time I get fuel status from AI is a "Bingo" call, followed by "ejecting!" a few seconds later. :doh:

Great suggestion, IMO

Could include:

• fuel in hours/minutes at current burn rate
  
• current fuel in pounds/kilograms
  
• joker
  
• bingo
  

Looking forward for this option

While flying Red Flag campaign, my wingman often eject short of fuel. Definitely need this option to understand the fuel state and direct him to tanker.

I was also wondering how to make a flight fuel management ... Then a friend pointed me that thread.

How possible that kind of essential function is not present in such combat simulation!? ... This is absolutely paramount to be able to take the role of a flight leader. Without that, realistic mission management is simply not possible. I am literally appalled. :(

Yeah. The AI comms would definitely be valuable, but the wingmen need WAY better fuel management logic, period. It's a massive issue with the current DCS implementation.
