Hi, a few things I noticed:
- You aren’t using your custom airframe. When you create your flight, you need to select that specific airframe from the aircraft list. Currently you’re selecting the default “B738 - B737-800”. Your custom airframe will appear near the top of the dropdown selection, and will be labelled by registration.
- If you’re generating your flights through the API, you’ll need to explicitly set your custom airframe’s ID as the “type” parameter. I don’t know if phpVMS supports this. Using custom airframes - The SimBrief API . If you can’t do that through phpVMS, you’ll need to set all the aircraft options using the acdata parameter. Currently I see phpVMS is only sending
{'paxwgt':209}. Using acdata - The SimBrief API .
To reiterate, when using the API, if you want to customize the empty weight, passenger weights, etc, you either need to set your airframe ID as the “type” parameter, or send all the applicable aircraft options through the acdata parameter. The airframe ID is shown at the top when you open your airframe for editing.
If you are generating directly on the website, make sure to select your custom airframe in the aircraft dropdown, and not the default “B738 - B737-800” profile.
For reserves, I think it depends on the airline. But as far as I know, many of them enter the FINRES + ALTN fuel here. That sum is included in the FINRES+ALTN line under FMC INFO for convenience.
Best regards,
