OK,
I already discovered the weight of the pax in the simbrief was 70.87kg, I changed it to a round number.
thanks Bernd

Flight Manager - Issue with Cargo Load
Hi gents,
as I have no access to ProSim I kindly ask you guys to double check this issue or forward this to the developer (no contact found).
When I send the values from SimBrief to TOPCAT it seems that only the amount of PAX will be transfered in the "Cargo Load" section. Correct would be the number of PAX multplied by the PAX baggage weight p.P.
Please see my picture:

Hi Peter
If you close the lock in the Topcat, to the left of "Bagage", the import works perfectly.

Re: Flight Manager
no, sorry, it doesn´t. It takes only the computation with the TopCat internal weight of baggage per PAX in this case.

Flight Manager - Issue "Alternates > 1"
If I select "Alternates" higher then one the FlightManager throws an error.
Setting it back to "Alternates = 1" works like a charme.
We validated this with Pete Fuss.
Can someone please forward that into the ProSim Forum (or send Ramon the link to this forum).

Flight Manager - Feature Request "Monitor"
You may forward this feature request.
Current situation:
For the moment you have to start FlightManager (ensure TOPCAT is closed) and trigger the export to TOPCAT yourself.
Feature request:
If would be great if FlightManager would monitor a specific path for new files, close TOPCAT, import SimBrief Data and restart TOPCAT. This would give a little more automation. The monitor path could point to a folder that have been selected in "SimBrief Downloader". Monitor path has to be set by the user.
In detail:

In detail:
- monitor a user defined folder for new files (*.*) for example by LastWriteTime
- wait until new file has been found
- kill the process of TOPCAT

Re: Flight Manager - Issue "Alternates > 1"
Hi Peter, i guess this is correct, because TopCat can handle only 1 alternate.Capt. PERO wrote: ↑Sun Feb 19, 2023 5:00 am If I select "Alternates" higher then one the FlightManager throws an error.

Re: Flight Manager - Issue "Alternates > 1"
Thanks Bernd. I would expect that FlightManager imports only 1 Alternate to TOPCAT rather than crashing. This would give the planning option to have more than 1 alternate (as PFPX does).bbruechmann wrote: ↑Sun Feb 19, 2023 9:26 am Hi Peter, i guess this is correct, because TopCat can handle only 1 alternate.

Thanks Peter. Very helpful and saves one for click. I am working on "FM-Helper" tool (its a very tiny thing) to further automate this process.

Flight Manager - Issue "Landing Weight"
Gents,
I found another small issue (not a big deal as it will be corrected by TOPCAT).
The Landing Weight should be:
TOW - TripFuel = LDW
--
In addition if you set "Start runtime" the menu item changes somehow strange.
See picture. @PeterMartin can you pls forward this? It may make sense to invite him to this forum.
Great tool!

Re: Flight Manager - Issue "Landing Weight"
Hi Peter, as i have seen, it´s the tripfuel that´s not correct set by FlightManager, because it includes the alternate fuel and extra fuel as i know. But the Tripfuel calculated in the Airbus FMGS is without alternate and extra. Though, the landingweight is may be correct computed, assuming the alternate and extra is substracted from tripfuel and added to the landingweight. But i´am not sure and can´t check right now. I will look at my figures in the evening, but there are limitatons also based on SimBrief, because their fuelmodel is a common non airliner specific as some other values like the weights.Capt.

Re: Flight Manager - Issue "Landing Weight"
Hi Peter, ok, i have ckecked the figures and found out, that the landing weight calculation by TopCat isn´t right in fact. TopCat calculates with the Take Off fuel and substract this from the TO-weight. That´s not correct, if the TO-fuel contains Reserve and extra and alternate fuel. Flightmanager takes the TripFuel only and substract it from the TOW which is correct.Capt. PERO wrote: ↑Tue Feb 21, 2023 5:03 am Gents,

The Issue of FlightManager i have seen is, that the figure shown as "Trip Fuel (kgs)" is wrong in the GUI. The figure shown in that collum is the TO Fuel in fact.
So the figure should be corrected or the naming needs to be changed into "Take Off Fuel"! @PeterMartin could you pass this over to the dev?
While think about this a little longer, it´s the figure that needs to be corrected. If FlightManager takes the Trip Fuel only in this coloum and passes this to TopCat as the real Trip Fuel, the calculation of the LDW should be correct in TopCat.

Re: Flight Manager
Hi Bernd
From my point of view, TOPCAT calculates correctly (at least if the correct TripFuel according to the SIMBrief is in the "Trip Fuel" field).
he calculates the ZFW plus the "Fuel on Board" minus "Taxi Fuel" gives the TOW and this minus the "Trip Fuel" gives the LDW. Just like it says in the SIMBrief.
the problem is that the flight manager takes the wrong trip fuel from the SIMBrief and this has to be adjusted manually in each case in TOPCAT.
or am I, since I'm definitely not a professional, wrong with my thoughts?

Re: Flight Manager
Hi Stephan, i think you´re absolute right. That´s exactly what i tried to say in my last line of my post. FlightManager needs to take the Trip Fuel instead of the TO-fuel and pass this to TC.balu69 wrote: ↑Tue Feb 21, 2023 8:53 pm Hi Bernd
