POLL - Who's using ACLoader?

[Francois_Dumas 10]

Yes, I do know it of course :-) :-) But I do not use it?Nothing to do with the quality or features... or perhaps it has.. For my kind of flying, it has too many features ;-)I just do bush flying hops in old Beavers, DC-3's and such, very often not even finishing the trips... and many 'tests' when looking at add-ons (scenery, utilities, new aircraft). Not the sort of work that allows me to use ACLoader, FSMaintenance and the likes.But..... it IS a good program and I AM looking forward to your new release ! :-)Bye Scott :-wave :-outta Francois :-wave[table border=0 cellpadding=10 cellspacing=0][tr][td valign=bottom" align="center]"At home in the wild"[/td][td valign=bottom" align="center][link:avsim.com/alaska/alaska_052.htm|Don's Alaskan Bush Charters]"Beavers Lead the Way"[/td][td valign=bottom" align="center][link:www.avsim.com/vfr_center/mainpages/vfr_flights_main_page.htm]VFR Flight Center]"Looking Good Outside"[/td][/tr][tr][td valign=top" align="center]http://bfu.avsim.net/sigpics/logo75b.gif[/td][td valign="top" align="left" colspan=2]http://www.fssupport.com/images/moose2.gif[/td][tr][/table]________________________Francois A.

HiI never use FS flightplan. Usually I fly VATSIM so I go to the VACC and get the flightplan from there. The flightplans usually are reals ones in the form fixe route fixe like:LPMA LPPT A319/M 01H35MN M078 F360 SNT UN745 NARTA DCT GANSUThat means that the info I have is:flight time or distance;Flight level;From NOAA the aloft wich allow me to calculate the mean wind during flight;Aiplane Gross weight;What I miss is a easy to use program that allow me to calculate the fuel. I know pilot assistant but it is a excel spreadsheet. I'm using Keroplan, nice program but doesn't take in consideration all these factors.Jos

Francois,Yes, ACLoader is really more for passenger and cargo hauls with something a but larger than GA aircraft.I've never tried with the DC-3 though, since I don't have one. Given the popularity of the the plane, I should make sure it works with it.Heather is using ACLoader with the DC-3 I think, and I've not heard from her about it.Hopefully V4 will be more simple to use.

[Guest Scott Campbell]

...I have had over 15,000 downloads of the thing since Version 1 and there are only a couple people who posted that they use it.Where's the other 14,997?

[Guest roderic757]

I use ACLoader and I love it. I use it for every single flight and I will continue to use it too...I hope that you add more commercial aircraft that are not in the program. I would also like to participate in any beta testing if you are going to do any of that before the release. I would like to see a fuel calculator as well that can be incorporated with just the load planning based on distance etc. cheers...email me if you need any help with anything.

[Francois_Dumas 10]

Still trying to figure it out ?? :-lol :-lol :-lol :-outta Francois :-wave

[Guest]

I'm one of the "missing" but then you already know I think its an excelent program & is in use at Orange Air.

One of the missing dowloaders, here....Right now, the biggest thing I fly with anything approaching regularity is a King Air so I don't use it anymore. When I was flying larger aircraft, I was using it all the time. Fantastic utility which I'd not fly one of those huge, lumbering beasts without.

[Guest Scott Campbell]

Bill,Thanks. Hopefully V4 will allow you to load the King Air just as easily as the 747-400.

I use ACLoader since last june and I love it so much.In many aircrafts I had a fine ajust to txt file to matchwith technical airplanes details. For this I went to boeinghome page many times. For the guys who use opensky planes I recommendto fix the eyepoint to this file. AcLoader is a excellent free stuffwe have to fly more realistically. I recommend.

[Guest hoohah]

I've only recently started using ACLoader (for the CRJ200ER) and I love it. I'm starting work now on figuring out how to get the Fokker F50 details into ACLoader so that I can use the program to set loading for it.I think any good VA should be using tools like ACLoader (or similar) and FS Maintenance - but most aren't and never will...to many people trying to reach X # of hours so that they can "fly" the 747 with the cool new paint-job. Any way, keep up the good work.-hoo

I use ACLoader. Actually, I use it without costing to generate random ZFW's, passenegers, and payload for PS13.
