After more than a year of research, development, and internal testing, I'm happy to announce the upcoming public release of the Fuel Planning Tool.

The Fuel Planning Tool (FPT) will help you plan for fuel consumption, flight time, combat performance, and navigation data for DCS: A-10C and DCS: F-5E. It features all Nevada and Caucasus Maps navpoints for easy reference and flight plan creation.

Features:
- Custom GUI.
- Detailed user manual.
- Based on real aircraft performance charts and crosschecked to match DCS.
- Takeoff and Landing Data cards.
- Exports for flight documents in "http://imgur.com/a/1anFS".
- Google Earth Flight plan overlay creation.

Requirements:
- Keyboard and Mouse.
- MS Office Excel.

GUI Screenshots (WIP): LINK

Google Earth Overlay Example: LINK

Download FPT v1.1: FPT v1.1a

Showcase:


For more info, visit: 476th vFG - FPT

HELP NEEDED: I'm looking to expand this tool and add the Mirage2000C, so any technical manuals and references for this aircraft would be greatly appreciated.


¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Nice one!

I doubt the A-10C needs a fuel planning tool though... that thing has gas to be on full throttle for weeks at a time! smile
