November 13, 201114 yr /What is the best practice fuel amount in "lbs" to reserve in the "Capitan's Reserve" at VRoute Fuel Calc section for the NGX?or how much do you put in the "Capitan's Reserve"?Since I´m i Europe I use kg and Vroute says 2000kg (2 ton) and that's what I always use./ Leffe Leif A Mikkelsen **********************
November 14, 201114 yr I am puzzled on how this replies of yours fits in this thread... HelloWhen someone calls fellow simmers idiots for their choice of aircraft I feel I have the right to respond.As one of those simmers who owns and flies both fine products i do not feel like an idiot for using the i-fly product.To be fair as good as the NGX is and I do enjoy it, at this point in time the i-fly is more advanced as far as supporting external hardware is concerned, certainly not a product for "Idiots"Glyn
November 15, 201114 yr I've been using FSBuild. I tend to build my flightplans with 15 minutes taxi, 45 minutes reserve, 15 minutes hold, and 15 minutes extra. It's quite a bit more gas, but mimics my company's ops farely closesly. With alternate fuel (if needed) I tend to land at the destination with about 9-10k lbs of fuel remaining.I use a similar fuel plan. I always plan with enough fuel to get to my alternate and about a hour flying time reserve.

November 15, 201114 yr Yes I fully agree with you!!. It´s amazing in all positive way.I also never land with more than 4,5 to 5 ton of fuel, becauseI´m using Vroute Pemium, were you get the fuel prediction for your weight and flightplan.There are also a possibility when done your preeflight, to go to PROG page in CDU andsee how much left, when arrival. If to much, then just change the fuel and makethe preeflight once more./ LeffeVroute premium predicts too much fuel. Antonio H.
