Fsbuild-2 Flight Planner

Guy, I made a beech duke FS Build Profile but Im having problems. First of all when I set it all up and press autogenerate it never shows my enroute times on the Nav Log in the FUEL/TIME section. It's also giving me some very crazy figures and I cannot understand why. I have made the proforamance file from my Duke POH so it should be accurate, the only problem is I cannot test it. Here is the CFG and PRF file. I'd like someone with some experience making these profiles to take a look at it and tell me what I did wrong. This is my first time doing this and I plan on make TONS of these profiles for all sorts of planes

Here ya go, have a look for me. Fix this issue and I'll make one for you!

Just comparing this with others that work, it looks like the cruise table is missing the [GWT] entry...

I don't think youre required to use any GWT for FS BUild, only if youre using planes like the MD-11 and 73's etc. Something is wrong and I cannot figure out what it is.

Someone please help. Im trying to make this and a few more for the community but Im still learning.

Lots of help here isn't there, o well! When PFPX gets released FS Build will become useless anyway.

I'm interested in this .pfr file for Turbine Duke, can I download it anywehre? does it works?

I came across this post when searching for a Be 60 Duke prf file.

Replace the ; with // in the section header and all will be OK.

i.e. [CLIMB] ; 110KIAS SL-FL140 120KIAS-FL260 36.5MP 2750RPM 198lbs/hr/eng should read [CLIMB] // 110KIAS SL-FL140 120KIAS-FL260 36.5MP 2750RPM 198lbs/hr/eng

I've not tested fuel burn yet but FSBuild will now generate a correct Navlog with fuel requirements

Thanks to realatp for doing the hard bit
