2 questions

[Guest poschrob]

hi,I've got 2 short questions:#1: what value should I enter into the cdu reserves entry? 10% of the total fuel amount + altn. fuel should be ok AFAIK. but even if I only enter 10% of the total fuel, seems to be too much.#2: as the engines are really powerful, I'd like to know whether there is a t/o performance calculation table/programm like TOPCAT for the pmdg 747?thanks in advanceRob

Rob,2 short answers :)>#1: what value should I enter into the cdu reserves entry? I generally make it 10 tonnes - its your call though. Basically this is saying "let me know if I get to this limit">#2:>like TOPCAT for the pmdg 747?Whilst I have the 747-400 I don't know what TOPCAT is. If you had a link?
