August 10, 20223 yr 4 hours ago, Pilot Pip said: So after a zillion tries and partial flights I finally got a hold and feel comfortable on flying VOR to VOR like in the tutorial and also how this works in the plane itself. Really love it but I wonder. I want to create flights like in the tutorial myself. How do you guys plan your VOR to VOR flights? And is the use of the FMC realistic? Since I understood it's only added for the MSFS community or am I wrong? Pip Yes, some aircraft were retrofitted with FMC's back in the day. Some even have a GTN750! Regarding your questions about vor to vor flight planning, you can use little navmap to do it. Just create a flight plan linking the vor stations along your route. The application also shows you the range of each vor station (Very useful!) You can also use skyvector Juan Ramos
August 10, 20223 yr Yes was already looking in LNM for planning, calculating ToD is only hard art now. And I might give the FMC a chance then, espcially on Vatsim since I've never done VOR plan on Vatsim. Does that make it VFR then? Edited August 10, 20223 yr by Pilot Pip

And I might give the FMC a chance then, espcially on Vatsim since I've never done VOR plan on Vatsim. Does that make it VFR then? Calculating your TOD is fairly easy. Lets say that you're at 32000 and you need to be at 2000. You need to lose 30,000 so when do you need to start your descent? (30,000 x 3) / 1000. That gives you 90. this means that you need to start your descent at 90nm from the target. Now, what should be your vertical speed? Easy: Ground speed x 5. Lets say that you will maintain 400 knots. 400 x 5 = 2,000. So you need to descent at 2,000 fpm and 400 knots. Obviously you will have to do tweaks here and there but those formulas got you covered.

September 14, 20223 yr Commercial Member A look at the new EFB improvements and features that will form part of next week's update for the 146 Professional...
September 14, 20223 yr Looks like some nice new quality of life features for the EFB, and also I am definitely looking forward to the increased resolution on the lights on the warning panel. Great stuff JF! 🙂 AMD Ryzen 9900X3D & ASUS X870E Gaming Plus MB, w/64 Gb GSkill DDR5 RAM, PNY RTX 5090 GPU, lots of SSD's and M.2 drives, HAVN Case, Virpil VPC Panels 2 and 3, Virpil Constellation Alpha Stick, Virpil Rotor TCS Plus w/ Hawk-60 Collective grip, TM TCA Yoke Boeing Edition, TM HOTAS A-10 and F/A-18 Sticks and TM TPR Rudder pedals. Currently on Win11
September 14, 20223 yr Great work with the EFB @JustFlightScott. Looks modern and sleek. Please, please, please, check the font size also in VR. Fenix efb has way too small font size and I hope you guys can get it right.
September 14, 20223 yr Are the performance calculators coming with a later update then? Gary i9-13900K, Asus RTX 4080, Asus Z790 Plus Wi-Fi, 32 GB Ram, Seasonic GX-1000W, LG C1 48” OLED 4K monitor, Quest 3 VR

Fenix efb has way too small font size and I hope you guys can get it right. We have been testing the EFB in VR, and our testers haven't noted any issues regarding the font size. We have made a note of that though and we will make sure the VR experience is as good as it can be.

The Takeoff and Landing Calculator is still in development for the EFB, and we are aiming to include that in the following update to the 146 Professional (MSFS) alongside the custom UNS-1 FMS. It made more sense to us to ship the new EFB features now, rather than holding onto them until the performance calculator and FMS are complete.
September 15, 20223 yr Hey Folks I asked this question over on the MSFS Forums but got no answer: I used to enjoy flying the Quality Wings 146 & RJ in P3D ... for those that have done similar, how does the Just Flight 146 compare? Thanks! Ads Kluczinsky
