The two gifs show each aircrafts endurance at full power with 100% internal fuel
and any combination of possible external tanks in ver. 1.04p2 of Aces High.

Max endurance is for 100% fuel and biggest amount of drop tanks.

To reduce testing time to a reasonable level, fuel multiplier was increased during
testing, but this also reduced the precision of the data. Thus up to 1 min difference
should be expected.

The file "fuel.gif" are the endurance with fuel multiplier of 1.0, the "fuelma.gif" 
are with Main Arena's multiplier of 2.0.

28th Dec. 2000

Tested the endurance for the three new aircrafts, Seafire, F6F and TBM.
Typhoon got droptanks available and its increased endurance was tested too.

-----

4th Jan. 2001

Discovered that the Main Arena multiplier is set to 2.0 instead of 2.5, so I
recalculated the endurances of the MA-file and also added the typhoons' MA endurance with
drop-tanks, since I had forgot to add that.

9th Mar. 2001

Added data for the eight new planes released with 1.06

----

25th May. 2001

Added data for the 3 new planes in 1.07
Added files with 512x512 bitmap-format, so they can be used in the clipboard.

----

1st Jul. 2002

Added data for the planes in 1.08 and 1.09
To allow all planes to be on a single bitmap for the clipboard, some planetypes with
similar endurance have been grouped together. For instance are the endurance for 109F-4, 
109G-2, 109G-6 and 109G-10 listed together as "Bf 109 (F & G)".
The .gifs still list each plane individually.

----

3rd Jul. 2002

Added data for the planes in 1.10
Due to space issues fighters and bombers now each have their own clipboard.

----

17th Dec. 2002

Added data for B5N2, Ju87D-3 and Me163B included in 1.11
Me163 seems unaffected by fuel multipliers, so it has a duration of 6 min and 30 sec
in all arenas.

14th Feb. 2003

I noticed that the two jets (Me262 and Ar234) will increase their endurance at higher
altitudes. I have added their endurance at 20,000 ft. I have been unable to find
similar attitudes for any propeller driven aircrafts.
Endurance of the Mosquito was changed.
Aircrafts are now sorted by axis/allied instead of fighter/bomber. The files are named
FuelAx.bmp, FuelAxMA.bmp (Axis aircrafts with x1 and x2 mult.) and FuelAll.bmp,
FuelAllMA.bmp (Allied aircrafts with x1 and x2 mult.)

----

20th feb. 2003

Tested the Me163 and found that it's endurance is affected by True Airspeed, ranging
from 5:15 at 0mph, to 8:30 at high speed (>525 mph)


Enjoy!
