Slowing Down The Crazy Fast Bi-Plane Fuel On Modern Systems WITHOUT FPS Loss

[Fluffy Cupcake]

Every got tired of the bi-plane minigame because it was so broke? Well you can somewhat change that now. It will require a hex editor though.

 

The address of the fuel decay rate is at 0050CFD0. On an alternate .exe, like Iran's version (the wonderful guy who found a lot of neato fixes and things already!), the address would be +10, meaning 0050CFE0 instead of the previous mentioned address. The value in hex is 00 00 C8 42 (this is reversed endian), meaning 6825 in float.

Having trouble converting between hex and floats and endian reversing? No problem.

RECOMMENDED VALUES:

The follow makes it drain at exactly 1 fuel per second.

Fullscreen Mode: 00 F6 9F 46  (20475 float - x3 value)

Windowed Mode:  80 F3 47 48 (204750 float - x30 value)

 

 

In case you are having trouble finding it in your version, the surrounding bytes look like this:

00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ~~~~00 48 D5 45~~~~ 05 00 00 00 0C E9 71 00 C1 FE 71 00

---

For a bit of extra bi-plane information, your starting out fuel count, which also happens to be your maximum refuel count, can be found at the address 00487220 in both .exe versions specified above.

 

Happy flying! Now go get them darn monkey!
