[Resolved] Low Fuel
« on: 28 11, 2012, 07:28:46 pm »
When you lose cash, red writing appears at the bottom of the screen....so if you have low fuel...maybe there should be some sort of warning about it. It is annoying when you are travelling for a long time and you realise that your engine is off due to lack of fuel.

Another thing is that you should be able to have a fuel canister which you can fill up to around 25 units, so that if you do run out, you can always get off and refuel. :)

Maybe there should be some sort of flashing icon when the fuel reaches 5 or lower?

I agree it's annoying, especially when you're busy racing or chasing crims and not focused on the fuel. I think a blinking red fuel icon that signifies low fuel would be ideal? Like this:

That light appears next ( left or right ) of the fuel bar.
In real life when you're on low fuel, the above warning light comes on, but doesn't blink / flicker.
If it blinks I think it would be more effective.

But the general idea about a warning for low fuel, I agree with.

Kratos, where's the link with the same suggestion?

The warning would make the player stop and get some fuels from any gas station , that looks cool , I wish it makes the server more realistic , why not ? +1

Yeah that's true too many times we were busy with other things and we don't care for fuel, so flashing light will be good and another suggestion from me to change that when you stop and press space to fuel you see on your screen -25,-25, etc.. , so it should be like medic job now to say -x immediatly to avoid spamming in our monitor :D

Totally +1 dude. I never pay attention to fuel, so I get stuck in middle of nowhere. Imo warning should be as big as whole screen so I can see it xD

Happens a lot when your driving,but also we should pay attention to our fuel gage as well,tbh I don't want something to tell me my fuel is low as that is non-RP in a sense.

This has happened to me a few times, as I haven't payed attention it could be like the cruise control feature that would be quite handy.

You can just look on the Right bottom of your screen and maybe we  can have red lights beep somewhere on car. -1

Would be awesome to get a "BING" sound when less than 10%.

That warning will make the current player stop and re-fuel the car that will be more real I think that should  be from 10% btw +1
