Hi again Dan,
I know you're busy and I don't want to overload you... but I love this program so much and it inspires me to want to add to it!
One thing that I'd like to see is to be able to see the Load Manifest and set V speeds, after you've loaded the plane. Here's why; On the
aircraft that I fly that don't have V speed call-outs but the FMS does require you to enter Total weight and ZFW, I can't calculate my V
speeds until after I have the plane loaded. Also, I have to print out the manifest (or copy it to Word, which is a pain) to enter the numbers
into the FMC, and this leads to a lot of paper lying around the flightdeck (read: my office). If I could bring up the manifest after I load, and
enter the V speeds after I input the manifest numbers and the FMC does the calculations, it would be fantastic.
I figure that since the feature is already there, it MIGHT not be such a huge mod. But don't get me wrong, I know how busy you are and I
can wait. Thanks for your consideration...
(I have a few other ideas that I'd love to see, but I won't bother you with them right now!!!
