I know what it is for...but the number in your example (48) is based on so many factors that it's impossible for me to select a true number unless I have the specific company manual.

Guys,Thanks for noticing... :+The pic in my previous post is not something from my VA. It is in fact a shameless plug for a little something I'm putting together as we speak. It's called Virtual Dispatcher and will hopefully bring some more knowledge to what is going on behind the scenes of a flight. It will calculate the limiting weights and runway lengths for you, as well as the predicted fuel burn and optimum flight levels taking winds aloft into account. This will be printed out with a SAS dispatch sheet layout. Maybe you'll have to kick some of the pax or cargo out to be able to be within the performance limits. I have so far spent over five hundred hours on it and will probably spend another five hundred to finish it so it will most likely be a donationware/shareware utility but i will make sure it's worth it. I already have plans for the next version. The program is based on real world dispatch programs and will use as much real world data as possible. To some extent it will be an overkill for FS as, for example, runway slope is not modeled or the exact placement of obstacles around runways. No ETA as of now. ;-)I will set up a website in due time but for now this is it.Cheers,

Mats,This is exactly what we need! I certainly will be following your progress on this one, good luck! And taking your effort to build this add-on in consideration it is only fair to make it a shareware product. Sign me up for one! And ehm... regarding an ETA.... not important as long as the result will be satisfactory! ;-)cheers,Bj

Thank you Bj

Mats,He's not the only one ;)Tero
