Calculating Range left based on fuel left

MONOLITH · 10-08-07, 04:30 PM

How are you guys doing this.

I've overlooked something somewhere. There's no button for it like in SH3, and I went into my command.cfg to try to set a keyboard command for it, but there is no fuel estimations ranges in the command lines.

Just a Time to course end.

Are you guys doing it manually with a chart?

Please and Thank you.

Trigger Maru adds the familiar button from SH3, so that's what I use. Easy and convenient

Click on range to end, @given speed/plotted distance,in chart tab.:hmm: Not sure about question correctly answered.

Make sure batteries are fully charged,or readings are off.

I'm one of the few not using TM. If one of the TM boys would point me to the specific portion for adding just the fuel ranging, I'd appreciate it muchly.

In the meantime, I'll start reverse engineering....

The command exists in the commands.cfg, the functionality is there, its just not mapped by default. I dont remember offhand the ID handle listed in the commands.cfg, so feel free to reverse enginner it. Files in question are the ordersbar.cfg (or was that upc?), and commands.cfg.

All you really have to do is map it to wherever you want it. Earlier in SH4, most folks just made a CNTRL + somehotkey command for it. you dont have to map it to the ordersbar.
I beleive CCIP developed the orginal commands.cfg mod, so that should be easier to D/L then the the TM modpack.

Thanks Ducimus.

I have been looking at all the command lines in the stock Cfg. Perhaps it's just labeled in a way I wouldn't expect.

They're all in the 'Navigator' section, and it's probably the one that appears to be time based "Time to Range end"..

Going to test. I'm not worried about the icon for the order bar. I just want a key command to give me the report.

Thanks.

It is labled in a way you woudlnt expect, thats why i dont remember what it is exaclty. If i had the ID handles in front of me i could point it out, but without the file infront of me i can't.
