FMC: Idea for simplified FUEL page #383

Open oMrSmith opened 3 years ago

oMrSmith commented 3 years ago

I have designed an alternative FMC fuel page.

I think, it has 3 advantages:

  1. You can optionally load fuel immediately.
  2. You don't need to add or substract, you just set the target fuel.
  3. It is simple and straight forward.

FUEL FMC

You can do two things:

  1. Set your target block fuel when at the ramp. (right LSK 3) Entering the value will automatically call the fuel truck and load the fuel in real time. The fuel "currently on board" will in- or decrease while loading, until it matches the target fuel.

  2. Or you can set your fuel "currently on board" right away. (left LSK 3) This is a trick that allows you to load your desired block fuel immediately! Very helpful for repeating test-flights in the SIM.

I'll see what I can do with this. Might be done by next release.

Probably won't be done with this release, as I've been working on other stuff. Maybe next?

No problem for me as there have already been so many significant improvements lately.
