First of all it looks like a fun program but I can't figure out why the flights don't seem to match up with the aircraft? What I mean is, I did a search for flights for a 737 800 and one leg was 4000 nms and call me crazy but I didn't think a 738 could even do that? When I do a search for flights for a 747 they all look like something for an ERJ. I'm fairly certain I'm doing something wrong, can someone help me?

Can you post screenshots of the panels that you're seeing??

What site did you find that data?

I don't remember, but I seem to remember reading that the maximum range for a 737-800 was about 3090, just shy of 4000 NM, and if we are going by the book isn't 20 minutes of fuel left required?

Hello there,

 

First I suppose you are searching for a flight in the Flight Dispatch tab of the FSC Administrator?

 

Things you could check:

- time of flight, change it to something more reasonable for a 738 and then search again

- open the aircraft settings in the FSC Admin, search for the 738 .cfg and check for max fuel

- check that you chose the correct 738 (if you're flying with PMDG or iFly)

- check the schedules of the respective airline you are flying for (if any) if there are flights below 4000 nm distance

 

The last thing you can do, as a workaround, is to simply load FSX to a departure airport of your liking, open the FSC Panel and set your destination manually.

 

Hope it helps a little,

Cheers,

Andreas

Also make sure your unit settings are set to nm for distance ;-)
