Hi, I always fly as realistically as possible in FSIM. I therefor am looking for some help. I am looking for different calculations which i can use for things like > Calculating Time to Destination or Fuel required or Fuel time left. These are just some of the calculations that real pilots use and i would be appreciative if anyone could help in by submitting some for me to use.Any help would be brillThanks Guys

a good point to start:http://www.csgnetwork.com/e6bcalc.htmlright-click, view sourcecan't go wrong with the real thing, either:http://shopping.pilotportal.com/catalog/pr...8&categoryid=29having said that, i wrote my own :-lolruns as dhtml in the kneeboardthis is all fairly basicgoogle itgood luckvilk

Hi,I don't know if it would meet your needs, but I use PILOT'S ASSISTANT V1.6 (a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet) wich can be found athttp://www.tooby.demon.co.uk/P_Assist_Home.htmlHere a cutout from the readme:---CUT---INTRODUCTIONPilot's Assistant is a toolset to support flight planning (including fairly realistic fuel planning), navigating, and carrying out common flying manoeuvres. It contains fuel/performance data for several popular aircraft, and is intended to be a useful learning and reference aid for several aspects of simulated flying.Pilot's Assistant is provided as an Excel multi-sheet spreadsheet, with one tool on each sheet (if you don't have Microsoft Excel, look here). These tools include calculations and information as follows: 1. Flight profiler / fuel planner 2. Performance data for a number of simulated aircraft (can be extended by the user) 3. Altitudes and altimeter settings 4. Standard Atmosphere table 5. Speed conversions (KIAS, KTAS and MACH) 6. Wind corrections 7. Descent planner, climb and descent calculations 8. Altitudes, Temperatures, Speeds and Descent/Climb Rates table 9. Lat/Long calculations (distance, heading, great circle routes, magnetic variations) 10. Turns, bank angles and manoeuvres involving turns 11. Unit ConversionsThe toolset can also act a useful place to store information on various aircraft that you fly, for your own reference and for automatic use by the tool.The toolset is not intended to be a "magic calculator" that produces results by hidden methods, but rather something that explains the calculations being carried out, and provides rules of thumb for pilots to carry out calculations quickly or in their heads. In this sense, the toolset could perhaps be useful as a training aid---CUT---Hope it helps!Mick!
