I hope i am missing something here, but...

 

How do i create a profile for what will be a company route to be used by different aircraft?  I guess i could create one with no passengers or cargo, but the required fuel will be different f.ex. between a B720 and a B777... I tried using a A320 profile in an E-jet but got various errors about fuel and weight etc.

 

Perhaps a Virtual airline would be the way to go, but a quick google gives me mostly online versions which seem to bo overkill for what I want.  Is there a simple local version / plugin that could be used? 

 

Thanks for any replies

Regards

Littlenavmap. its free. 

But how would i  'import' it into f.ex. the mcdu?  The file name is <src><dest> airport code, so only one file in the ouput/fms dir...

 

Guess i could create a file for each aircraft type, save it with the type in the file name (ex ENZVENGBB747) then rename before i load it... or write a lua before opening the mcdu...  

 

Rapidly leaving the 'quick and simple' solutions here...

Once you create a flight plan with Simbrief, you can always save it and each time you want to use for a different a/c, it is available, open saved flight, change the aircraft and generate the new flight with which ever aircraft you choose.  That is a pretty simple method, imho.  I always prefer Simbrief over LNM because it suits my needs better and my VA uses it.  Also, it is easy to download into my various a/c MCDUs.  Just my $0.02, of course.

This👍

Plus the fact that specific aircraft equipment, using ICAO designações, is AFAIK not available in simbrief, and plays an important role on some RNAV approaches that some aircraft of the same class can and other can not perform...

In this particular aspect the ASOBO new for FS2024 web flightplanner is actually more complete/ complexo, but then it fails to invlude proper aircraft performance data 🥴

These days I use a mix of the two...

Little navmap is easy. It has many plane profiles available which are easy to create and edit. So you can create a flight plan, change the plane and it will change the fuel etc. Use it all the time.

So simple 🙂 especially when i can import directly into the toliss mcdu (x-planes).

There's an awful lot that can be done in lnm, i need to spend more time with it.

 

Thanks for the pointers...
