Today I noticed this one:

[debug]
----------
difference to OPT FL: -2000 ft
additional fuel: 198 / factor: 2
CL: 28 | CR: 32 | DT: 34

I never saw it before but that could just be me, is it normal?:)
 
Yes that's normal since some weeks now, Martin :)

It helps us to finetuning our aircraft performence data. It's the way we are calculating the fuel for a flight. In your example it is a CLimb time of 28 minutes calculated, a CRuise time of 32 min. and a DecenT time of 34 min.

If you want, you can note down this data before TakeOff. After your flight you can check if it's near your flighttimes. But that makes only sense if you are flying without any wind, because the flightplan dosen't calculate any wind at the moment.

Olso we are trying to calculate the difference fuel of differend Flightlevel. It's not perfect at the moment. We are working on that :wink:
 
Ha, those lazy people not reading forum messages :p :p

We still left the 'debug' values at the bottom which basically show calculated climb/cruise/descent times. So this is quite useful to compare with actual flight values.

Seriously, if those who actually fly could compare those calculated values to their real values it might help to better adjust the aircraft performance data. If you experience major differences in climb/cruise/descent times please report
- aircraft type
- payload & fuel (pax+cargo+fuel)
- calculated times / actual times

Thx!
 
My last ATR flight you may want to take a look at. I dont know the actually timings, but i landed a good 15 minutes before I should have according to the briefing.
 
If you fly the ATR "world tour style" then it's no surprise, lol.
Just kidding. I've seen you flew for ~45 mins (56 mins block) with a slight headwind, the briefing gives 1h10 flight time. I will check some more ATR flights to see if there are many ahead of schedule.
Thanks, Drew.

I'm so used to bugs here that I didn't notice them lol (Just kidding of course, don't even think of banning me lol)
