+1 for a P-Factor option and more realism.

+1 for P-Factor. This is what Hot Start sims are about: realistic simulations.

Hi Cpt Jan, Thank you for taking the time to respond. I re-installed SkyMaxxPro with the Gizmo Beta and the system memory is no longer counting down as it did before. Everything is working as designed. Just did a nice climb out of SLC headed to PAKT ... stable system ram and vram up to 30k. Also added back all my plugins and scenery ... still working as designed! Count this one as resolved! Thank you for the suggestion!

No one on the forums can help you with this issue. Only X-Aviation support can verify your purchase records and merge your accounts if applicable. Your machine registration cannot be reset from your end. You should've contacted support before making your second purchase as you were already aware that you had lost access to an old X-A account.

Hi @LKN! I hope there are enough of us asking about this issue to have the devs seriously consider adding this back into the model. It was there at the release but did not last long. I don't think the devs were that keen about "adjusting" the P factor but here we are.

Yes - this chart will give you the TASS for a flaps 15 takeoff - but only taking into account the runway length, not the obstacle situation. You read it like this (there is an example-dashed line in the diagram): 1.) Enter on left with airport OAT - go up until you hit the airport pressure altitude (elevation + QNH correction of 30`per hPa). Then go horizontal to right, until you hit the REF LINE. 2.) Now start on right with field length available, go up to first REF LINE, then follow it PARALLEL to the "slanted lines" for runway slope, then go up again to next REF LINE then follow it PARALLEL to the slanted lines for "head/tailwind", then go straight up (make a long line). Now follow from the final point of "1" PARALLEL to the "slanted lines" until you hit the vertical long line from 2. From that intersection go horizontal to the right to read off the maximum brake release weight. If you want to find out the TASS, you need to start the process in reserse. Start with 2.) to get the vertical line. Then go from the right (current weight) to the vertical line, followe PARALLE to slanted lines to the REF LINE (vertical), then go left until you hit the airport pressure altitude then go straight down to read the "theoretical" OAT (=TASS) that would still allow a takeoff with your current weight. Cheers, Jan

Hi @Litjan So I found the chart below in the FPPM for the -300 and it appears to have the data that I suspect the runway weight charts you referenced are based on. The trouble is making sense of the tables but I suppose I shall get there...! I don't suppose you have any advice for interpreting them? There is a similar chart for landing distance for any given weight, which is quite a bit simpler to interpret - I can't quite figure out the relation between the vertical and horizontal lines on the this chart...

It's silly to have removed it. The real thing pulls, and people need to learn to fly properly. It's not a SIM unless it SIMULATES REALITY. Single-engine turboprops are known for pulling - they have the greatest torque and power of any single-engine propeller driven aircraft. People must learn to handle it.
