flo57100 Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 (edited) Hi everyone, I made a small excel sheet that is designed to help during pre-flight. It will tell you: - How much fuel to load for a given flight plan - Your total gross weight - The total hover take-off maximum weight - If you can hover or not regarding your current calculated max hover T/O weight and the temperature (second calculation sheet) For the values on first sheet I took values from the manual for a 13000 kg hip, so everything is calculated "in the worst case", if your weight is less than 13000, your consumption will be even less. Try it, tell me what you think about it, even if you think it's a piece of ****, no problem with critics :megalol: File is there on my Google drive: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7kBMVlFdDuPY28yQnVqTmNRbWM/view?usp=sharing If you want to modify the file no problem, password to unlock it is "hip" On the first calculation page, you have to do this to know your zero fuel weight: - In DCS, show your radio menu - Show the window to rearm/refuel - Set the fuel quantity slider all the way to the left (zero fuel required) and read your total weight: that's the value to be entered as "helicopter weight witout fuel" Edited January 9, 2017 by flo57100 Calculation tables modified 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qnnrad Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 You are the true god of the "right when it's needed". Document works fine and is great, if the values are correct (I'm not the one to judge yet) - magnificent work. Thank you! +1 rep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
