MD 11 freeware fuelplaner

Sorry Jonathan I feel such a fool. I was selecting LBS and MD11F when this will only give me payload and not pax. With only Lbs selected your planner works perfectly. Sorry, sorry, sorry.

Hi Chris,

 

You are welcome!

 

Hi Kevin,

 

No problem! Nice you figured it out yourselfe.

 

Basically, in the loadmanager you can set the payload for 4 types of aircraft (2 class, 3 class, high density and the freighter).

The first three (pax versions) will all write to the same file. If you don't tick the freighter option, you will automatically load that weights. The programm will show pax and cargo weight from one of those three types (allways the last one you loaded in the loadmanager).

If you tick the freighter, it will load the cargo weight (no pax = no pax weight) which you set for the 4th type, the freighter.

 

Best regards,

 

Jonathan

Have completed 7 flights at varying distances and each time your planner has NAILED it!   Thank you for such a great and needed utiltiy, Jonathan.  I fly with a CI of 100 and usually bump up the cruise to M.835 so I thought that I would have a problem but on the contrary.  It has always left me with less than 400kg difference at touchdown than what your program predicted.  That accuracy is definitely close enough for me.  Again, thanks.

Hello Jonathan,

 

Thanks a bunch for this great little program.  I need a little advice about a few things:

 

Wind component/Headwind.  I am not sure what to enter here.  For example I am planning a 850 nm trip on a track of 270 degrees.  The forecast winds at FL360 are 200/42. This is a headwind so I assume I check the headwind box.  But what do I enter under Wind komponent? 

 

Also, can I run your program after I open FSX and load the MD-11?

Hi John,

 

Programms like AcitveSky give you a headwing/tailwind component. Like how much tail/headwind will be directly from behind/front. Like on the example you posted the headwind would be about 25-35 I guess. You could use sin and cos functions to calculate it properly.

 

Yes you can run that programm after starting FSX and loading up the MD-11.

 

Best regards,

 

Jonathan

 

PS: Sorry for my late answer! Quit a lot to do lately

Jonathan, I just wanted to take a moment to THANK YOU for all of your hard work on this. I found your online fuel planner when I first installed the MD-11 about 7 or 8 months ago and it was so easy to use and incredibly accurate. I don't fly the MD-11 very often; still a 747 guy, but I do like to fly it from time to time. I'd bookmarked the original link but discovered it'd disappeared so I came here to find out what happened. Very pleased to discover you'd taken the time and energy to write a downloadable version of your excellent fuel planner. I've been using Flight Sim since it came on 2 3.5" floppies for Win 95, and even though MS ceased support for this incredible product it's awesome that so many people like yourself are taking so much of your valuable time and skills to support it. So from a dedicated, old school simmer at KDEN, THANK YOU!
