Show engine fuel consumption rate


Recommended Posts

One thing I've always found annoying about the engine info tabs is that they give me all the information I need except how fast that particular engine consumes fuel. I'm not saying that we need something to show how long a stage will last on a tank of fuel; I'm suggesting something like 'LV-909 consumes X units of liquid fuel and Y units of Oxidizer per second at 100% thrust'. That way, I could say (on my own):"ok, the Skipper consumes X amount of fuel and Y amount of Oxidizer a second max, and the Jumbo 64 has X units of fuel and Y units of oxidizer, so this stage should last Z amount of seconds'. It would also be nice if it showed the consumption rate at 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% thrust.

Technically Isp and thrust give this, though some calculations are required. That said, have you tried right-clicking on an engine while in use, or expanding the resource tab?

I understand what you mean, but I'm talking in the stats tab on the engine part, not in flight. It would be nice to know how much fuel an engine uses at a certain throttle setting while I'm building the rocket, not flying it after the fact.
