Simbrief or GSX profiles?
-
Was there a Simbrief or GSX profile for the aircraft? I seem to remember them being mentioned as being worked on in one of the preview streams.

@jasemelbo Ah thanks, but I though there was supposed to be "official" ones?

@melon The official ones are on SimBrief's website. If you select the Airframe when you add a new plane you can select any version.

@owlinflight I think he's now talking about GSX profiles. I found all four variants over at .to however were there going to be any official GSX profiles from JF?

@jasemelbo That I don't know. I found those GSX profiles also.

@owlinflight Awesome. Im in Australia so eagerly waiting to knock off work to check they work and get the F28 up in the air.

Our GSX profiles can be downloaded here: https://support.justflight.com/a/solutions/articles/17000134895
We supplied SimBrief with custom profiles, which are now available directly from SimBrief.

@woolies the simbrief profile is a mess though as it doesn’t allow for variants and it allows altitudes at FL290 and above, in fact, every flight I have requested so far it suggests RVSM heights.
-
@woolies not saying it cannot fly that high, but strictly speaking, illegally after FL280. If you fly on VATSIM or another online network, you need to be aware.

@dadgametime I've never had RVSM come up on VATSIM, I'd wager it would never even occur to most VATSIM controllers that it was a factor. The plane was designed and most heavily operated before it was a concept. I agree that if it was being used as is in the real world today it wouldn't be allowed up there, but for sim purposes I see no harm in just ignoring RVSM and flying it wherever is most efficient based on performance.

@piedmonitor Absolutely would not be allowed real world, and VATSIM controllers who have any clue might catch it. Canadian North flew it lower than FL290 during their time with it for that exact reason, that being, the altimeter is not accurate enough to ensure that it won't break the RVSM rules making it unsafe for flights above FL280, which I suspect is why Just Flight listed the specs the way they did in the documentation. It CAN climb higher, but under current RVSM rules, it should not and did not when it was being operated under RSVM.
