Overlord Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 The fuel meter on the side panel shows a lower fuel level than the fuel meter on the main screen in air combat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterwolves Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 The side panel shows fuel left until you have to disengage, while the other shows total. Don't know if this is intentional though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordgiza Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 It is intentional the fuel meter meter in combat shows how much fuel you have left until you are forced to disengage and return to base for refueling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 It's intended to work like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overlord Posted May 6, 2012 Author Share Posted May 6, 2012 But then you should make it more clear what the intention is, currently it looks like a bug and is rather confusing for the player. It is intentional the fuel meter meter in combat shows how much fuel you have left until you are forced to disengage and return to base for refueling. There are two fuel meters during combat and both show different values. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overlord Posted May 10, 2012 Author Share Posted May 10, 2012 Are you talking about the speed indicator? No, the ones that read "Fuel Level: xx%" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterwolves Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Yeah, the one on the side panel with the controls for your fighter, and the small one that moves around with your fighter if you are zoomed in enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Targe Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 The rapid burn of fuel for using afterburner is another example of 'human-hobbling' that has improved the chances for the aliens. I don't like it but I sure agree it's realistic. Using afterburner is a huge fuel burn, especially for those 70's jobs .Sure wish we had the F-4 Phantom instead of the ficticious advanced F-16 way before it's time thing. And how about the actual Firefox from the movie as the MiG? When did the F-15 come in? That could be the advanced fighter you can research as well.

Buzzles Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 (edited) Sure wish we had the F-4 Phantom instead of the ficticious advanced F-16 way before it's time thing. Eh? The Game's set in 1979. F16 first flew in 1974, production version flew in mid 1978 and was being delivered in mid-late 1979. Considering the Xenonauts are meant to be Earth's first and foremost alien fighting agency, it would totally be realistic that the newest possible equipment was diverted to them at the first opportunity.
