Tundrabum01 0 Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 I planned a flight via SimBrief KSAN to KSFO in the A319 w Full PAX/1889kg cargo with alt KSMF, dist 89 nm. My fuel load in adv mode = 6.495 My fuel load simple mode = 7.482. Curious as to why the big difference (15% on this short flight)? Only thing I can think of is the simple mode gives an extra allowance of fuel to make up the distance to an unknown alternate. Note: After years of Airbus denials, the A3xxx series, coupled with the X56 flight system, is really challenging and fun to fly. Congrats on a great flt sim aircraft series.

Deputy Sheriffs Hanse 216 Posted August 31, 2018 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted August 31, 2018 Hi, the answer is quite simple. Normally you use either one of the two modes. If you use the "Simple Mode" then there is no possibility considered to change any of the Advanced Parameters like Alternate Distance. The "Simple Mode" p. e. always calculates with 200 nm distance to the alternate destination........ Regards, Rolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
