Dear Community,
As there was no Simbrief profile for the freeware Ilyushin IL96-400M by Ramzess for X-Plane 11 yet, I decided to make one myself, matching the real world values. The profile is based on the Airbus A340-300, as it has almost the same cruising speed and fuel burn, as the Ilyushin IL96-400M, but I of course adapted it, to match the real plane.
I increased the fuel factor up to P30 (30 % more than the Airbus A340-300).
Changelog:
- I changed the name from Airbus A340-300 to Ilyushin IL96-400M
- I adapted the weights to match real world performance values and adjusted the fuel burn
- I added the engine type PS-90-A1
- I changed the cruising altitude to FL430, which is the maximum ceiling of the Ilyushin IL96-400M.
- I changed the Takeoff thrust to 171000 N to match the 4x PS-90-A1 engines
- I changed the Minimum Runway Length to 8858 ft

Note: This version is based on the freeware Ramzess Ilyushin IL96-400M. Other variants may have different performance values.

@SimBrief May you please add this aircraft to the SimBrief database, after verifying it’s correctness?
