Fsbuild-2 Flight Planner

I am getting winds-aloft from AS6 with 2.22. Check out mainly the cruise winds. I'm using the PMDG 737NG 600-900 suites. Fuel planning has been within 2,000 lbs.

All times for extraneous operations (TAXI, EXTRA, etc.) have converted to fuel quantity correctly within acceptable limits. Using the FMC preflight with the imported route and entering the surface and cruise weather data gives the estimated consumption and it has been close enough.

If you use the AS6 navlog be aware that it appears in the route section to show the cruise level winds even in the climb and descent steps. I believe FSB showed the winds at altitude. Not home right now to compare.

Thanks for the answer Ronzie, at least someone has replied.

The winds I mentioned were in tyhe Navlog section and were drastically different from the log in AS6.

The taxi fuel never appeared nor did the hold fuel but the other fuel did, so there is something going on there.

I also tried letting FsBuild create a route and put it throught the BAV OSP Flight Plan Audit and the route was bounced back with unrecognisable parts to it, and, I've got the latest nav data for FsBuild.

All in all, not really impressed at the moment.

If Ernie can reply and help me out somehow it would be good. At the moment I am getting Flight Plans from BAV OSP and working out the fuel myself with the 737ng fuel calculator plus putting the wind from AS6 into the FMC manualy and I always get to the desination with what I expect to have remaining, after calculating whether I diverted, had to hold, taxi time and 1,800kgs extra.

Works for me at the moment, haven't been near FsBuild since my last post so that's 20 quid down the drain.
