Classic British Flight Sim

The runway at Chivenor is 1833m, 27ft MSL

Not when a surprise Operational Readiness Exercise has been sprung on you by the AOC! Apparently, managing the take-off restriction is part of the exercise.

Nigel, I agree, that's an excellent rule of thumb... as the saying goes "close enough for government work" ;) I should have thought of that myself. The runway I have available is just a shade under 6000' (RAF Chivenor) so it'll be interesting to see what fuel weight I can take up... fighte...

The VC10 I'm flying is a K3 tanker. I'm operating out of a short runway so can't take the max fuel load to AAR, just need some way of working out what the max possible load is with the given runway length.

Hi folks,

Can anyone point me at a table of some sort for take-off run vs weight for the VC-10s? I've seen the bits on the VC-Tenderness site but it's not enough. Many thanks in advance.

Many thanks Dave, I shall plug those in and see how they go.

Hi folks... I nearly got very wet having used what were obviously wrong figures for the VC10 planning in FSNav. Has anyone got a set they can post up that they know are reasonably accurate? I need values for the VC10 and Super VC10.
Thanking you in advance...

No, it didn't.

Thanks for the link Paul. I remember hearing about Philippe dying, but not the details. Sad. :-(

Great shots. I'm putting pennies in my piggy bank towards that one A question... did the Cousteau catalina survive the incident in which Philippe died?

The Lancaster that Just Flight sell for FS2004 is being reworked for FSX.
