January 16, 200719 yr I've just got into flying this great plane. When I click on the ASI I get the speed bugs set but what I have never known is what phase of flight they all refer to. I've worked out that on take-off the first is probably V1, the next is Vr but what are the others? And similarly on landing, are they flap limiting speeds and Vref for the slowest speed?My second question is: the Landing speed tables require an aircraft weight - how do I find out what the weight is? Can the flight data computer help me?ThanksDave Intel I7-4770 3.4Ghz 16 Gb RAM nVidia GTX770 2Gb Windows 8.1 64 bit P3D 4.4/3.4 FSX SE
January 17, 200719 yr When you click on the ASI while on the ground the bugs will auto set to:Bug 1 - V1Bug 2 - VRBug 3 - V2Bug 4 - V2+15 (min for bank > 15 deg with less than takeoff flaps)Bug 5 - Flaps up maneuver speedWhen you click on the ASI while in the air you get:Bug 1 - VrefBug 2 - Vref + 4Bug 3 - Vref + 8 (target speed on final)Bug 4 - Vref + 15Bug 5 - Flaps up maueuver speedTo find the GW, you need to know your zero fuel wt...which is empty weight plus pax/cargo. You can get that from the FS aircraft menu. Add current fuel wt to get gross weight. You have to do it manually.CheersBob ScottATP IMEL Gulfstream II-III-IV-VSantiago de Chile Bob Scott | President and CEO, AVSIM Inc ATP Gulfstream II-III-IV-V Sys1 (MSFS20+24/XPlane12+11): AMD 9800X3D, water 2x240mm, MSI MPG X670E Carbon, 64GB GSkill 6000/30, nVidia RTX4090FE Alienware AW3821DW 38" 21:9 GSync, 2x4TB Crucial T705 PCIe5 + 2x2TB Samsung 990 SSD, EVGA 1000P2 PSU, 12.9" iPad Pro Thrustmaster TCA Boeing Yoke, TCA Airbus Sidestick, Twin TCA Airbus Throttle quads, PFC Cirrus Pedals, Coolermaster HAF932 case Sys2 (P3Dv5/v4): i9-13900KS, water 2x360mm, ASUS Z790 Hero, 32GB GSkill 7800MHz CAS36, ASUS RTX4090 Samsung 55" JS8500 4K TV@60Hz, 3x 2TB WD SN850X 1x 4TB Crucial P3 M.2 NVME SSD, EVGA 1600T2 PSU Fiber link to Yamaha RX-V467 Home Theater Receiver, Polk/Klipsch 6" bookshelf speakers, Polk 12" subwoofer, 12.9" iPad Pro PFC yoke/throttle quad/pedals with custom Hall sensor retrofit, Thermaltake View 71 case, Stream Deck XL button box Sys3 (DCS/P3Dv4/ATS/ETS): AMD 7800X3D, MSI MPG X870E Carbon, Noctua NH-D15S, 64GB GSkill 6000/30, EVGA RTX3090 Alienware AW3420DW 34" 21:9 GSync, Corsair HX1000i PSU, 4TB Crucial T705 PCIe5 + 2TB Samsung 970Evo Plus, TM TCA Officer Pack, Saitek combat pedals, TM Warthog, TM RS300 FF wheel/pedals, Coolermaster HAF XB case

January 17, 200719 yr I have a question about weight as well.What is the maximum landing weight? And how do you calculate the fuel needed for a flight? I don't really trust the default FS flightplanner with this.
January 17, 200719 yr Max landing weight will depend on the version...usually somewhere between 99K and 105K lbs for the -200.I use FSBuild for fuel and flight planning, and have provided fuel burn profiles for the TinMouse II for use with that program. Thy're available on the FSBuild website or here in the AVSIM library.RegardsBob ScottATP IMEL Gulfstream II-III-IV-VSantiago de Chile Bob Scott | President and CEO, AVSIM Inc ATP Gulfstream II-III-IV-V Sys1 (MSFS20+24/XPlane12+11): AMD 9800X3D, water 2x240mm, MSI MPG X670E Carbon, 64GB GSkill 6000/30, nVidia RTX4090FE Alienware AW3821DW 38" 21:9 GSync, 2x4TB Crucial T705 PCIe5 + 2x2TB Samsung 990 SSD, EVGA 1000P2 PSU, 12.9" iPad Pro Thrustmaster TCA Boeing Yoke, TCA Airbus Sidestick, Twin TCA Airbus Throttle quads, PFC Cirrus Pedals, Coolermaster HAF932 case Sys2 (P3Dv5/v4): i9-13900KS, water 2x360mm, ASUS Z790 Hero, 32GB GSkill 7800MHz CAS36, ASUS RTX4090 Samsung 55" JS8500 4K TV@60Hz, 3x 2TB WD SN850X 1x 4TB Crucial P3 M.2 NVME SSD, EVGA 1600T2 PSU Fiber link to Yamaha RX-V467 Home Theater Receiver, Polk/Klipsch 6" bookshelf speakers, Polk 12" subwoofer, 12.9" iPad Pro PFC yoke/throttle quad/pedals with custom Hall sensor retrofit, Thermaltake View 71 case, Stream Deck XL button box Sys3 (DCS/P3Dv4/ATS/ETS): AMD 7800X3D, MSI MPG X870E Carbon, Noctua NH-D15S, 64GB GSkill 6000/30, EVGA RTX3090 Alienware AW3420DW 34" 21:9 GSync, Corsair HX1000i PSU, 4TB Crucial T705 PCIe5 + 2TB Samsung 970Evo Plus, TM TCA Officer Pack, Saitek combat pedals, TM Warthog, TM RS300 FF wheel/pedals, Coolermaster HAF XB case
January 17, 200719 yr Ha lots of work flying these ol tomato cans uh bud ha. These FMC guys like my kid who flies a Ng 700 says i'm 1/2 nuts when he sees me flying these things cause all they do is punch punch punch every thing in the FMC and go.
