I am trying to check if I do the right calculation of landing and takeoff distances and want to test it. Does anyone know of a program / mod to test this? (Just like there are landing rate mods)

TOPCAT

or are you looking for something like this spreadsheet: https://flightsim.to/addon/24722/aircraft-runway-performance-spreadsheet

I think @Rene_Feijen already knows how to calculate these distances, but they want to measure what the actual distances are that they achieve and compare them to the calculations.

Simbrief...?

Simbrief can calculate takeoff and landing distances, but AIUI @Rene_Feijen is looking to measure the actual takeoff and landing distances achieved in the sim.

I've done a search, and MSFS itself provides this functionality, at least for takeoff distance, through the Debug Aircraft Tracking Window in Developer Mode:

I'm not sure if this provides landing distance too, but it's easy to test. The UI is pretty basic, but on the plus side there's nothing to install.

Have a look at Stol-Go:   https://flightsim.to/addon/102224/stol-go-stol-auxiliary-training-tools

Works great.

Exactly

Aha, thanks!

Oh that sounds great, thanks m8! Even with teleport function, so not limited to a particular airfield. Will try coming days!

The aircraft tracking debug window in dev mode will give you the ground and air distance separately as well as the total distance from when you opened the window. Takeoff and landing distances include both a ground and an air distance. You can get the ground distance easily from the debug tracking window, but to get only the portion of the air distance you want it works best to make a video to be able to separate out the portion of the total air distance that you want to add to the ground distance to get the complete takeoff or landing distance.
