Performance Data?
-
Is there a file known online or otherwise containing the Vulcan Performance data for flight planning? I can spend the time collecting the data points, but if the data has already been accumulated and can be published, all the better. For the JF Devs, can the Vulcan Performance data be uplaoded into Simbrief?

I have just checked through our reference material and unfortunately, I don't believe we have any specific performance data for flight planning.
I seem to recall that during development this question of default fuel loading came up, and it was found that at least during the Cold War days, the Vulcans were always kept fully fuelled, so every flight they did was with full fuel tanks. I suspect that will have changed later in the aircraft's service life though, as the Vulcan Display Flight and VTTS conducted their displays with minimal fuel loads.
Thanks for the SimBreif suggestion. We'll log that on our internal feature request tracker as something to look into for a future update.

Have the fuel flow adjustments you mentioned in another thread been implemented in the current version?
"A more precise adjustment will make the next release version, but for now if anybody wants the additional range and you're confident editing text files, open the Engines.cfg and scroll down to the jet_density_on_ff_table. Replace the entire line with the one below, should give you roughly 6500km (4000 mile) range in the 50,000ft zone.
jet_density_on_ff_table = 0.000230:0.229000,0.000600:0.380000,0.000710:0.554000,0.000910:0.761000,0.001020:0.887000,0.001280:0.983000,0.001430:1.074000,0.001770:1.161000,0.002060:1.219100,0.002380:1.39600
Ensure you climb at 250kts/93% rpm to 20,000ft then 300kts/96% rpm until that coincides with 0.8M then maintain the mach number. Top of climb, level out and let speed build to 0.87M and adjust throttles to maintain."
