    Something I`d like to wish for is the option to have the fuel starting amount set in gallons, laps or KG`s please so that we can choose which we want...

    I personally find it quite difficult to work out how many gallons for eg I`d need for a 5 lap run so the option to choose would be handy imo.

    :)

    It also would be nice if we could set the amount of fuel with a text box instead of a the system that is right now (arrow buttons). Directly type in the amount of fuel wanted/needed.

    tj fuel usage is all over the place between cars, mods and tracks.

    I would not worry about it past doing 5 laps runs till various cars run out and put a NOTE into the setup page for each.

    Then depends on the car how much you want left in the tank at race end.
    Is it better with a few gallons for handling, etc or do you want it to run out over the line, etc etc

    Make setups with " 15 minute race" or " 10 laps " on the end of them if you don't like taking notes.

    If I can jump on this as well with another point - having the HUD show the same units you've got in the garage would be great. Setting kg in the setup then seeing L on the HUD is confusing.

    Yeh D, it would seem that for now anyway, fuel usage is going to take a bit of working out and experimenting with...

    It`s just that laps is obviously the easiest to set.

    Will see how I go. :)

    Ok guys...

    Just realised that I`ve had fuel usage off and when fuel usage is on it does give you the starting amount of fuel in gallons (in my case) and laps also.

    Still it would be good to have it in KG`s too, as they have it in F1 so my wish remains for that.

    :)

    1 liter of water = 1 kg... so i use that as a basis. just need to do a bit of maths or use a convertor. it would be nice if ISI did this.
    But some would say we have to do some things our selves.

    Fuel is lighter than water per volume as a rule. And to make things worse rF2 allows the modder to set the fuel density, but by default it's 0.74kg/L.
