Simbrief or GSX profiles?

[Martyn]

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.

@martyn Thanks!

@melon Hey mate. Those .to GSX Profiles work really well.

@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.

There is an option for each variant, and the cruise is up to 35000 so seems ok to me :)

[dadgametime]

@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.

Guess just set the cruise you are happy with then 😁

@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.
