Hi,
I noticed something. The air time in the OFP seems to be incorrect. I planned a flight from VIDP to EGLL and on the “My Flight Plan”-page it calculated an air time of 09:22, which seems correct. But the OFP tells me 08:55 which is the scheduled block time on the “Edit”-page. Of course the estimated arrival time is also way of (0425z in the OFP vs 0520z in the Flight Plan page). Only if I manually update the scheduled block time in the “Edit”-page the OFP time are the realistic ones. Can someone explain that to me? For my last flight from EGLL to VIDP the discrepancy was even higher (1 hour).

Hi, this is correct. The BAW layout shows your scheduled enroute and arrival times in the places you have circled. Often these will be different from the estimated times on a given day, which depend on winds, the route taken, runways used, etc. It is normal for them to not match the actual calculated flight time.
For the highest realism, you can insert the scheduled flight time from an airline’s schedule for this route (BA142 seems to plan a scheduled time of 9:45).
Since SimBrief doesn’t have access to real airline schedules, it calculates a default scheduled time that assumes a mostly direct routing, average winds, etc. But for this specific route, flights these days need to take a southern route to avoid Ukrainian airspace, which increases the flying distance considerably. Airlines are planning for longer scheduled times as a result (which is why BA uses 9:45 but SimBrief defaulted to only 8:55).
Best regards,
Alright thank you for clarifying
