Fuel concerning...

Hi to all SEOW fans! :)

These days, the group that I belong to, is flying Lybia scenario and of course, in this map, fuel is one of the major concerns. So my question is:

Does the SEOW system take into account the amount of fuel that we load IN MISSION (100,80, etc percent)..

Second: Does SEOW take into account also the amount of fuel remaining after landing

Thanks in advance.

Good flights

1. --> YES (except for humans who can change their fuel load)
2. --> NO

Thanks Dore...

So... SEOW asumes that we consume ALL the fuel after the flight, right?

And... If for humans NO... then what? Seow asumes 100 percent or what?

Another question: If we destroy fuel tanks in air bases (that donĀ“t have an icon in the MP), does this count into the fuel balance?

e.g:

You order a flight of 1 plane with 50% fuel (e.g. 400/800 liters)
When mission is analyzed (DCS) SEOW will remove 400 liters from the airbase reserves. If a human is slotted in this airplane, he can load 100% fuel = 800 liters (if loadout are free in campaign settings), but of course SEOW will remove the same amount of fuel as for AI (50% = 400 liters) and not 800.

Airbase fuel reserves are regarded as being in deep underground fuel stores, which are immune from air attack. To destroy these, you need to "demolish" the airbase.
