Another Good Report =)

Yeah you can, I dont mean to insult you but are you sure you are doing it right?

If you really want to you can disable the option in the fspassengers config file.

Wait until your rating is 99% - Every flight you get, even if its 100%, you get about a 0.02% increase....does my nut in. Ive been stuck on 99% for ages.

As far as fuel, you dont need a fuel calculater....divide the distance to destination, by the aircrafts range, which can be found anywhere. Then, add about 5-10% of fuel for takeoff/landing/alternate airports. That way, you can avoid that negative comment in your report.

cool thanks alot =)

Im not insulted as i can see what speed i bring in the reversers, and is it something to do with the aircraft? cls a300?

there is not much point in activating the reverse thrust at 80kts, with auto brake set by the time RT is having much effect you're probably at 60Kts anyway

Ok, what I meant is you know your are supposed to use the reverse thrust just after touchdown and then deactivate it between 60 and 80 kts?

FWIW, FSPax tells you exactly how much fuel you use during climb and decent, so you just have to figure out the stuff in the middle.

And for the thrust reversers, FSPax is dumb. It used to be common practice to use thrust reversers instead of a push back. The FAA put a stop to that when TWO(2) 737's kicked huge pieces of ice into their engines and subsequently crashed on take-off. So...thrust reversers are illegal at the gates and VERY dangerous in the snow, but for landing, reverse all you want, right up until you reach taxiing speed...but, FSpax is dumb on that regard.

Some people think that you might compressor stall the engine, which isn't like a car, the engine doesn't die. A stall in a jet engine is when the blade stops cutting through the air and starts slapping it, this doesn't happen as the aircraft slows down, it happens during engine acceleration, so forward velocity has nothing to do with that. FWIW, a compressor stall is very dangerous to a big engine like the CFM-56, and less dangerous for a small engine like a PT-6 or Allison C-30P.

It is common practice to this day to reverse the Air Forces C-17 with the engines.

I am very interested in turning off that stupid warning, or lowering it to 15 knots, because it is stupid.

thanks, when i went on a real simulator, we used reverse thrust untill 20 knots.

Sorry for the Off topic reply, but NoWorries I like your signature.
