GWX Bug: Fuel

WilhelmSchulz. · 03-07-07, 08:22 PM

With the Stock and in GW1.1a I was able to make it to the US coast with at least enough fule for 2-3 weeks on station with a IXB at ahead 2/3. With GWX I can only make it 2/3 way across the atlantic before having to turn back. Why?

What speed are you going at?
GWX has changed some speed settings.

I think optimum speed is ~7.5 knts for fuel efficiency.
Any faster and drag will waste fuel, any slower and the screws are "out of gear" and don't bite the water enough.
