Saving fuel situation

Postby Fede » Sat Mar 24, 2012 5:41 pm

Hi Steve,

what do think about the possibility to save the fuel situation after each flight? I mean, now I get the airplane refueled before each flight (it can be on or off, I know) but I like to use real world fuel locations to refuel. If there isn't any, I have to plan for fuel stops somewhere else. I was thinking at "Save fuel on board" thick. This way it will prevent fuel to be added and will load the fuel that there was at the end of the previous flight. If I have to add it, I'd do it manually within FSX. Something like that..

What do you think?

Cheers
Fede

Hi Fede,
Yes this is a nice touch. I will think it through and see what can be done.
Speak later...

The fuel checkbox in C&D: unchecked you don't get filled up.
How about instead provides the fuel you had remaining last flight...

Yeah, I know that. I'm using "fuelled for the route" right now, because I can't remember how much fuel I had left the previous flight. Another checkbox like the one you're saying would be ok I guess..should be easier to implement, it just saves the fuel on board together with the location of the plane, and time, etc.

now if you don't have fuelled for the route checked, you get the fuel you had remaining, seems cool...
