how to calculate fuel range

Joe S · 08-16-09, 05:47 AM

Is there a way to calculate whether or not you will have enough fuel to make it back to port? Thanks! Joe S

I just use the navigation map to find out the distance, and then use the "range at current speed" button at the bottom.

I know this sounds like a stupid question, but I didnt think we had a range at current speed option in SHIV.Where do I find it? I am running version 1.4, I think.Thanks! joe S

As the Lt. said its a button on the bottom of the nav map.

Beware though he is notoriously inaccurate.

Joe, I'm running ver. 1.5, and now TMO 1.7 as well.

I've been running TMO 1.7 since I started my first campaign/career, so I never checked range before I had TMO 1.7, as I had no need. And I've never had anything older than ver. 1.5.

I am?

If you're talking about my gunnery or my torpedo shooting, you are correct.

I don't think I've posted anything inaccurate on the boards though. If I have, please bring it to my attention.

I believe Steamwake was referring to The Nav in game.
