Description

VehicleFuelDrainByCryneX

By default, ground vehicles use 4x more fuel, while helicopters use 8x more fuel. The mod also enables automatic Full Throttle for ground vehicles.
The mod works in Singleplayer and is designed to work in Multiplayer / Dedicated Server environments.

JSON Configuration
Default configuration:
{
  "Enabled": true,
  "GroundVehicleDrainMultiplier": 4.0,
  "HelicopterDrainMultiplier": 8.0,
  "FullThrottleEnabled": true
}
GroundVehicleDrainMultiplier controls the fuel consumption of cars, trucks and tracked vehicles.
HelicopterDrainMultiplier controls helicopter fuel consumption separately.
For example:
1.0 = Vanilla fuel consumption
2.0 = 2x fuel consumption
4.0 = 4x fuel consumption
8.0 = 8x fuel consumption
FullThrottleEnabled: true enables automatic Full Throttle for ground vehicles.
Set it to false to restore the normal manual / vanilla Full Throttle behavior.
Enabled: false disables the increased fuel consumption and returns fuel usage to normal vanilla behavior.
After changing the JSON configuration, restart the scenario or server for the new settings to take effect.
Multiplayer
In Multiplayer, fuel consumption is handled by the server authority so the configured settings are applied consistently.
The server administrator can freely adjust the fuel multipliers through the JSON configuration without modifying the mod itself.
Fuel System
The mod uses the actual fuel consumption calculated by Arma Reforger and multiplies the real amount of fuel consumed.
This keeps the original vehicle-specific fuel behavior while increasing the final fuel drain according to your configuration.
Default Settings:
Ground Vehicles: x4
Helicopters: x8
Full Throttle: ON
