F/A-18C Flight Panning Information


Toni Carrera

Recommended Posts

Hi Fellow Pilots,

I want to get more in to flight planning with the missions I create for myself in the Mission Editor. I want to be able to calculate total route length, estimated fuel usage between Waypoints, speed changes for waypoint eta's etc. Perhaps even Fuel usage at higher/lower altitudes. Obviously, there is the in-Flight FPAS tool, but that is not enough and I do not have access to it

I am not sure whether this is possible within DCS. I also have a fully licensed copy CombatFlite if anyone knows if it is possible to do that in there

Thank you for your attention

Toni

Hi Tim,

I literally just read my original post again before I got to your response and thought to myself that what I said did not make sense

Yes, do not have access to it in the ME, but also would have been nice to get the information for the whole of the Waypoint System and FPAS etc, exported to some format that I could perhaps I could import in to a Macro'd Excel Document etc

I am probably trying to reinvent the wheel, I just want detailed leg information on est. fuel usage, time for waypoints etc etc presented in some nice familiar document, Not looking to get it on Kneeboard. Perhaps just images of an in-grid format;

Sort of like this, but pertaining to Fuel and Distances etc for my flight
