Performance Calculator

[Mariano]

Hi,

I just received confirmation by the developer (also a real world 744 pilot) that the 747-400 and the 747-8 family will be available toward the end of this year.

Software seems quite impressive, with more and more features being added. One global subscription grants access to all present and future types.

The might very well be the PSX of performance calculators.

Well worth taking a look.

Best regards,

Mariano

PS: Hardy, I hope that it was OK to post a link to a third-party product here.

Oh that does look like its going to be very good - With the move to OPT this will be where most people will be going.

We do have CARD online for those who don't use BACARS but want a performance calculator in the meantime - Based on RB211 G-Rated Engines, and probably not as detailed behind the scenes but gave us a good set of numbers matching real world CARD reports https://card.simfest.co.uk/

Gary,

I love BACARS, mostly because it has a MCDU interface (I like that much better than hand-held devices for obtaining performance).

I haven't been able to use it lately. Last I recall, wet performance was being worked on. Is this still the case?

Best regards,

Mariano

I just got to take a look at it and although it looks promising, I haven't been able to get it working. Every time it throws me errors left and right, not being able to compute the take-off data.
