    How to determine aircraft fuel level (or fuel level requested by player at spawn-in)?

    In my unending question to control all players fuel levels, I know now to set a players fuel level (AiAircraft.RefuelPlane(int)) and how to find the minimum fuel level for a given aircraft (maddox.game.world.AiAircraft.GetMinimumFuelInPerc ent()).

    But what I would LIKE to do is know what the players requested and/or current fuel level is, in percent.

    The only way I can think of, is to somehow cycle through all possible fuel tanks and levels for all various types of aircraft, using AiAircraft.getParameter(part.ParameterTypes, int) and appropriate parameters etc.

    That sounds complicated.

    Is there, possibly, any simpler way to just retrieve the fuel *percent* of an aircraft?

    Maybe it could be retrieved from the player's spawn-in menu settings somehow?

    Thank for any tips!

    Artist is away on vacation so you may not get a response on this for a while... maybe kick this thread again after July 26th.

    Check the code for my mileage mission in the download section.

    For current percentage:

    Add up total litres of fuel in all tanks save value as currentLitres.

    Refuel to 100%.

    Add up total litres of fuel in all tanks save value as maxLitres.

    currentLitres/maxLitres * 100 = currentPercent.

    Refuel to currentPercent.

    Now you know the currentPercent.

    patch 024 makes life a bit easier with this.

    *** Mission building; Class AiAircraft has three new methods concerning Fuel: GetFuelCapacity(), GetCurrentFuelQuantity(), and GetCurrentFuelQuantityInPercent() [Artist]
