[MCDU Large difference in Trip Time/fuel compared to Simbrief]

My idea?  Embrace the suck.  Real life is not digital (yes/no, on/off, fuel off/fuel spot on) it is analog with all the variations of living a waveform can give.  Winds on an OFP are PREDICTED.  Trip fuel is PREDICTED.  TOC is PREDICTED.  Even ZFW is ESTIMATED (same as PREDICTED).   Were you still at the gate?  I remember one flight I did from KPHX to PHNL.  I was in a 757.  I loaded up everything per Simbrief route, winds, loaded the plane exactly as dispatched.  Hit execute on the FMC and it told me I was short 20,000 lbs of fuel.  What did I do wrong?  What was wrong with the plane?  What was wrong with Simbrief?  Nothing, I landed in PHNL with 10,000 lbs of fuel.  As I watched the flight progress it was as if I had a fuel generation plant on board.  Fly the flight and then see how it ended up and whether there are additional adjustments to make.  My arrivals have always been within acceptable tolerances of where they were supposed to be.  

Mark, I am not saying the numbers need to be bang on the money, but I'm demonstrating a large difference between the two.. In the real aircraft on this situation, it wouldn't dispatch.

Thanks Nico, 

Please do indeed have a look at it.. I'll continue to test in the meantime but the example I did give was with the planned winds uploaded. 

 

Kind regards

Hi there,

Please see difference in mcdu and pfd attached trip fuel.

 

Full route with SID/STAR is programed correctly but i am getting wildely different figures.

 

Additionally, my TOC on my last flight was very ambitious compared to what was acheived in the sim.

 

I am using the simbrief Inibuilds A300 (selectable option).

Any ideas?

[Improve overall cockpit resolution.]

I think IniBuild nailed it, the "base" package is a good compromise between quality and performance. High quality textures as Awemeter mentioned should only be included with their seperate "enhanced" expansion.

oh yeah i forgot to mention in my post that I have the enhanced version

[(too) Bad fps]

Just come to say mine loaded in straight away

[Improve overall cockpit resolution.]

I disagree, i think the texturing is fantastic in the VC and actually looking for more performance, not quality in this area...

[Ready to buy a cargo version]

You've done most of the hard work, a A310 freighter to be able to do some real world routes which would be great!

[Plane becomes unresponsive]

After pause the flight with ESC for 5 min, the plane comes unresponsive.

Couldn't use any button or switch because they are freeze.

Views are still working, and the only instrument still shows changes is the altimeter.

Flight controls via yoke still working.

Just to say, the Sim himself didn't crash, and I could end the sim on a normal way. So please don't blame MSFS.

I had this yesterday after an 8 hour flight, turning downwind. I do not know what caused it as I don't think I messed with the escape.

 

 

[iniBuilds soon to release a "Very Large EU Airport" for MSFS]

Heathrow is no longer in the EU (big sad), so with the release today I am expecting it's a different airport. Or that Inibuilds made a mistake with the terminology. (we're still in Europe though)
