Correct... the minimun fuel speed is that we input into the sub XX .sim file.

If we had adjusted in example 15.000 miles at 10 knots, then 10knots must be the fuel economy speed. Any knot above or under will increase the comsumption.

In the practice, it is just not exactly 10knots, it about 9.4knots.

just open your sub XX .cfg file and adjust :

AheadSlow=0.20
AheadOneThird=0.45

You will have 2knots for silent running, and 9.5knots for 1/3....

To save fuel just set 1/3 and thats all...
