AirNubeiro Posted February 27, 2021 Report Share Posted February 27, 2021 Hi! I was wondering if there could be a way that the ACARS reads the actual weights of the airplane as well as the already fuel that is loaded. Because when your ending your flight it will take into account the total fuel lodad on the plane and not just the used one. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DisposableHero Posted March 8, 2021 Report Share Posted March 8, 2021 vmsAcars is/was capable of reading the weights and the fuel, it was a phpvms v7 issue (or a design feature) ... With the latest dev build, it is possible to change the logic for fuel expense from "fuel used" to "fuel uplifted". If you are using the latest dev, just check your settings and enable "Advanced Fuel Calculations". This option will enable what you are asking. And just a note; We are not using the fuel actually loaded in the aircraft (which can be changed by the pilot before running acars), instead we are using the remaining fuel from the previous flight of the same aircraft, which is more realistic and safer to build on.
