Fuel usage monitor gone.

[GunnerBill]

Since 1.1 I've not seen the fuel usage above my fuel gauges.

Was this supposed to happen?

I don't think so, since it disappeared for me too. Fuel bar is there, scooping and usage work normally, but the number indicating my hourly fuel burn rate is gone. Maybe a coding typo has made it NaN and it's just not displaying.

Maybe it was removed because it doesn't really add anything other than UI clutter?

Im addicted to av mpg in my car!!!!

Lol

Yeah we reported it in beta but got no reply. I think it was bugged anyway (at least on my T9) sometimes it would show zero fuel usage in SC

I am gonna agree with that. It provided no useful info anyway.

It provided no useful info

I disagree. On a small ship you may find you need to know how much fuel you have left for a particular journey in SC. Why it's been removed, I don't know.

I noticed pre 1.1 that it would show one rate while looking at the console (4), and another when facing forward. I won't miss it.

IT HAS BEEN NURFED! NURF's everywhere *joking*

How was it useful? It was a number per hour. A number of what? Tons? Then fuel scoop made no sense, since I could do hundred's per second. The fuel usage UI was just wasted space without a form of measurement.

 

[Loetmichel]

Fuel usage was in Tons per hour, scoopung is in kg per second. Where is the Problem?

Anyways, i want it back, too. It was nice to know how long the rest in the reservoir will last atm.

I just started my own thread asking the same
It was nice to know how long the active tank had left.

Hmm... until I saw this post I hadn't even noticed it was gone. Personally, I'm not that worried about it one way or the other.

 

[Gavski]

Not bothered about the fuel rate figure, but do miss having the little blue flash hammering across the fuel gauge when scooping. It's still there but only appears about every five seconds, or more.

Here also.

Oops!

 

[Tempus-Fugit]

I think they realised their maths was wrong and rather than fix it they removed it. When you compared fuel usage in say a Python to an Asp it just didn't add up for refuelling costs.

Same here, hehe

That useful fuel flowmeter told me how many modules I had to shut down to sustain functionality with my turrets deployed over night at a NAV beacon with a 1ton golden bait in my cargo hold.

Now it is guessing time
