Good morning!
I was wondering if it would be possible to have a feature that allows users to create custom profiles. For example, there are profiles for both the King Air 200 and 350, but I would like to see one for the King Air C90. I know that a person can go in and change the parameters of the base model, say the 200, but the profile would still show the base model as the B200, and there appears no way to change that.
Again, was just asking out of curiosity. Thank you for the fabulous product you have so far!

Hi,
Just to clarify, the Base Model is only shown in the Fleet editor. It just indicates which default profile you based your airframe off of. When you actually create a flight plan using this airframe, the base model won’t be shown anywhere, and instead you’ll see the name and code you entered in the airframe options.
More airframe options will probably be added in the future as well, of course. The next one to be added will probably be a speed adjustment factor, to adjust the cruising speed higher or lower than the base type.

It’s been a while since this topic was discussed on the website. However, I couldn’t help but revive this same topic again.
Most pilots on SimBrief utilize the custom profiles that are supplied by default and for most it’s enough. Nonetheless, while doing my flights lately I often noticed that the profile that is set to my specific aircraft poorly reflects the actual performance that I experience in flight. The basic mass limits, fuel consumption and performance all don’t reflect how my aircraft is actually performing. This leads me to have to do fuel, performance and M&B calculations all by myself.
This partly defeats the purpose of SimBrief as a big part of it (at least for me) is about simplifying those type of operations and allowing me to save time by having most of the calculations and planning automated.
Therefore, I would kindly like to ask to review the decision not to allow custom profiles as I believe it’s essential in simulation a real flying experience.
