Hmph, yeah. That's it. That's might be what I'm looking for.

As far as I understood, int means integer, so any values here are rounded up or down to a close one, right? Still, don't perfectly explains a descrepancy in numbers I got. Must be overlooking something. Just don't tell my math teacher please (partially kidding).

So Skyranger fuel ticks is 1500 divided by 7.6 (result of division of 760 speed max by 100). 197,368...
And max range is 197,368 multiplied by 760 first and then the result (150000) is divided by 12. Result is 12500 (nautical miles?). Still, NerdyPedia says max range is 13553 nm.

Round it down.
1500/7=214... Multiply by 760 (162640) and then divide by 12... wait a minute! That fits perfectly! 13553,3 miles (13553 rounded down again). Okay, I think got it. Yeah. That is EXACTLY what I've been looking for. Thanks a lot, Meridian. I hope you won't mind if I leave this post here as is, so other people won't have to train their brain like I had to?

Well, I'm still confused (because I can't understand the code syntax), but thanks anyway. Or maybe you can give a more understandable sample, let's say, with vanilla Skyranger values?

Hello everyone. I'm new here and also have a question about aircrafts. So, before registering here I have studied a forum for quite a some time, but never found out any useful information, so I decided to ask directly. So here it goes.

It seems that I totally cannot understand the fuel/range formula. How craft's range is calculated? It seems that if we have two crafts with equal fuelMax parameter and craft A have speed of 760 knots and craft B have 2100, the latter will have larger operational range. But what is the exact formula? What other parameters are taken into account during the calculations? It don't helps either that speed is measured in knots and range is given in nautical miles and kilometers.
