dunno if this is out of the question or not, but it would be great if this package came with some sort of fuel planner so us pilots dont have to deal with those pain in the neck dispatchers :-)Dave

Dave-I haven't gotten that far into writing the manual, but I am relatively sure we'll have some fuel planning info for you.There will not be an electronic fuel planner, however.

Careful Dave.....Im one of those pain in the necks in the real world.....We work just as hard as the flight crew and only get a tenth of $$$$$.Find somthing to pick on the FAs for:).....LOLOLOLRandy

Actually i ended up using the 727 cruise and climb fuel flow sheets i had left over from my flight planning at FlightSafety...they arent for the -17 engines but heck its close enough for simming anyhow :-)BTW - i interviewed with JAL last month for an adx position out of JFK...was really a great oppty and i was hoping, but i didnt get it after all was said and done:-( (so much for the token american theory hehe)Dave
