L'importante non è stabilire se uno ha paura o meno, è saper convivere con la propria paura e non farsi condizionare dalla stessa.

Kimi_uy Posted June 24, 2017 Author Share Posted June 24, 2017 support ka50? I might look into choppers if enough people want too. I started of with the airframes we use in the 476th vFG. Currently only works for the A-10C (A-10A works too), F-5E-3, and Mig-28.

Kimi_uy Posted June 24, 2017 Author Share Posted June 24, 2017 Everyone: I found a little bug that kills the tool when reseting the flight plan. Please re-download FPT v1.1a. This bug is fixed now.

BaD CrC Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Highly desirable tool for choppers. Probably a bit more complex to implement than for fixed wings if you like the challenge. Mi8 manual got tons of details on the fuel consumption, the variation depending on the equipment used on board and the external factors. https://www.blacksharkden.com http://discord.gg/blacksharkden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hansolo Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Thank you very much for the great effort Kimi. Much appreciated. Do you plan to make a feature where it's possible to import different navigation points than the ones included in the tool? *must spread some rep around' :-( Cheers Hans 132nd Virtual Wing homepage & 132nd Virtual Wing YouTube channel My DCS-BIOS sketches & Cockpit Album Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimi_uy Posted June 27, 2017 Author Share Posted June 27, 2017 Thank you very much for the great effort Kimi. Much appreciated. Do you plan to make a feature where it's possible to import different navigation points than the ones included in the tool? Thanks Han! I was thinking about that the other night. If you can send me a spreadsheet with the coordinates I'll include them. Same goes for other squadrons that have other navpoints in their missions. 1 [sIGPIC]][/sIGPIC] Fuel Planning Tool | DCS: A-10C SADL MOD | Kimi's Arma 3 Mods | Twitch.tv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
