Out of fuel

Recommended Posts

My question is, Have you ever drove a vehical so long that you used up all its fuel? I just did, I was driving a Hum-vee around Everon for exploring purpouses, after about 45 min the guy says "1, fuel low". And little while longer it completly runs out of fuel. I personaly thought that you could last somewhat longer than that, as the vehicals with the gauges never seem to go down, but I guess I never used those for such long periods of time.

I did once...during Convoy(?) from 1985 campaign.

had to abandon it near La Trinite.

my guess is that in RL, hummers last long.

That was my guess, and I thought the vehicals in OFP were made to model real life vehical fuel econemy.

Hi cybrid

Regularly if you are not careful while playing BS06 Planned Defence fom the Chain of Command. It is the only mission I know of where you and the enemy can experience a Logistics Chrisis. The normal mission lasts up to 5 hours depending on enemy strategy and whether you survive it.

I am making a 48 hour mission where supply convoys and supply dumps play a big part.

With Strategic missions becoming more common we may see supply constraints effecting missions in a more realistic way.

That is certainly one of our aims at the CoC

Kind Regards walker

I have never gone from full to empty except after taking heavy damage (I think Behemia Interactive Studios modeled realistic fuel leaks besides the scripted one in the campaign, because I have experienced them before), but I have seen the meter on the helicopters go down about two centimeters by the end of some of my flights.

I've seen it in a couple of missions where the designer has not topped off the tanks on vehicles.

It's another small feature that adds a lot of depth to OFP and the missions people can come up with.

Remember, when you are using the turbo key(flooring RL) constantly or driving a HMMWV at 100+ Km/h you will run out of fuel quickly in RL too.

Only prob is I have not seen driving slow in OFP save any fuel, on the contrary. Just letting a vehicle idle in OFP for a while will also use up all your fuel fast.

A few people ran out of fuel playing my Working Mission Nogova. Where your initial job is being a bus driver.

I don't know if I completely ran out of fuel but I used up maybe 80% of it in the Zodiac going from the little island in the river type thing in Nogova to the town in the SE part of the island that has the docks(i can't remember what its name is)

I was flying an A10 around in the mission editor. I had to leave for a little, so I set the plane on an angle. So it just kept flying around in circles. I got it just right so it didn't lose and speed. I got back a little later and there was || fuel in it. Then I flew around some more and crashed cause I ran out.

I ran out of fuel a few times when I was mapping out all of the islands for OFPEC, both in OH-58s and Hummers. Wonder what ever happened to that, I still have two islands completely mapped out

Oops missed that, the thread for the mission is here:

It's for V1.46, requires some addon downloading.

You will run out of fuel in the first resistance mission if you choose the motorbike and don't refuel it.

I have yet to ever run out. I really tried too. I have my latest "training" map. Your part of a 3 man spec op team helping the local res protect a small camp against a russian team moving in with a 50% chance of enemy snipers already in the area waiting for that one clear shot. In a nice Civie town for the whole, MOVE YOU DUMB CIVIE!!!!! aspect. I added a good ole' back round Civie plane for fun sound... i test played the civies quick, making sure all their waypoints were nice and semi realistic. Which weren't to bad actualy. So i let the game run to make sure the Res BMP didn't get stuck anywhere off road like it had done in the other tests. Let it run for a while... the friggen plane owas still going strong after like an hour of testing. Just flying in circles as a "spotter". lol.
