Derate calculator for 777-200LR available

[liketofly1 11]

Hi skino,

It looks like it's getting better and better.....

 

anyway...

 

I just tested again with your posted version and I respect your choice to calculate in kg.... but then you do offer to calculate in lbs, so how do I change to lbs. ? (since I'm Austrian) i don't mind the C° and hPa, I just need to calculate with lbs, since PMDG's aircraft calculate in lbs..... (I know one can change that, but then Passenger weight for the NGX for instance is 79,4 kg .... and not the nice round 175 lbs..)......and other minor weight problems

so that's how I'm trying to do it.....

Before I enter anything I choose TOW > lbs..... then start to enter ICAO and as soon as I click to enter the TOW in lbs it changes to kg.....(on click release).........so I can only enter kg, and if I then change to lbs, it calculates the kg to lbs.......but I dont want to enter kg..... I want to enter lbs, and stay with lbs...

[skino 17]

You're absolutely right. I've set the weight to lbs. Still waiting for the confirmation of "my" pilots. Until then, the current version is here.

Question: If I show smaller METAR window the METAR data can be directly written off or transferred with copy and paste 
Should the window remain so?

Hi skino....

 

Download from your post #47 ...you are putting a biiiiiiig grin into my face! gg   works, looks absolutely superb.... and is just perfect ;-)) I personnaly like the extra METAR window, just as you have it right now..... I saw that it is already calculating, are these calculations valid yet?.... I mean could I use them?.... 

 

anyhow, superb Job, and thanks again for your contribution.....

No, it involved only the runway length at this version. The (hopefully) final tool is still at my beta testers, testing whether the calculated data agree. I have not idea of the matter, I'm just a programmer and must rely on the experienced pilots.  :Cuppa: 

The tool is then set to real 772 and must be adapted with the help of the community to the PMDG.
It's great fun to develop this small project with the community together.  :good: 

Also in my freeware EFB, I work together with a German-speaking Forum. Much better than alone in the dark cellar

Hi Skino,

 

I love your calculator. Unfortunately, some of the data is outdated. Leipzig-Halle Aiport (EDDP) has changed it's runway layout in 2007, to two parallel runways. Of course, FSX, by default, has still the old layout. It used to be 8, 10, 26 and 28 but is now 8L, 8R, 26L and 26R. All of them are 3,600m (11,811ft) long. Would it be possible to update the data?

Another JIT crash while attempting to backspace in the TOW field.  Looking very good otherwise.

Great work Skino, your efforts are appreciated

 

Cheers,

Will  you please show which download I should click?

Looking good, and ACARS also looks interesting, when we likely to see that?

Kav,

Thanks it did work  :smile:

The runway data is from my FS. To update the data please download the MakeRunway. EXE here.

 

http://www.schiratti.com/dowson.html

 

Then only the EXE, not the folder, copy in the FS root directory and start. The file Runway.CSV is created. This file copy in the Data directory of the DeRate- calculator and you have the current runway data of your installed airports.

 

Start the EXE and copy the CSV, when new airports have been installed. Maybe I integrate a database update function in the Calkulator.

Thank you Skino it's a great tool.

Just on detail, can you add a switch to use both Kgs and Lbs as TOW? Similar as you've done for the QNH?

So both European and American people can do their calculations without boring conversion.

 

Thank you for your effort.

 

Diego.
