November 17, 20205 yr Hi, I've recently started flying the FBW A320 Neo (great Mod!)... some questions… Trip Data: Is there anywhere the total flight time is displayed before you depart? (Imagine announcing "Our total flight time today is...") Is there somewhere the remaining flight time or ETA is displayed while in flight? Is the total distance remaining displayed anywhere? If I want to know how much range the aircraft has left, at current cruise, with current fuel onboard, can I determine that? Long Range Flight Planning: If I’m planning a long flight… overseas or across a continent, with the A320, how do I know the max range for a given fuel qty and load, or alternatively, the fuel required for a given range and load? Is there a calculator online somewhere that will work with the simulator? Does Cost Index factor into range and fuel consumption? My impression would be that a lower CI would mean lower consumption and possibly more range, but slower. Is that true?

November 17, 20205 yr Author Anyone else able to point me in the right place to get essential flight time, eta, range data etc?
November 17, 20205 yr Take a look at that PDF I linked you to the other day. It's easier to use if you open it in Adobe Reader and use the bookmarks to navigate it by topic. If the A21N is properly simulated (I can't remember, mostly flying GA at the moment) the bottom line displayed when you select the MCDU FPL page gives your ETA and distance to destination. i7-10700K; RTX 2070 Super; 16GB; P3Dv4.5HF3 & MSFS2020.

I think this is all a work in progress and is not simulated at the moment with the FBW mod.
