Weight page on Kneeboard

[- Sonic -]

is possible in future to add in the standar page of kneeboard a sort of "status" page that recap actual loading profile (pylons) and actual weights? this will be very useful for calculate speed operations (takeoff,etc)

So in the loadout page it tells you the weight of the jet. And you can work out take off speed from that. For landing, you just fly on speed

There is a software called WeaponsDeliveryPlanner which lets you create a loadout an get all the important weights and drag indexes. I think it can even give you rotation speed and climb profiles, though it wasn't made for DCS so it won't be super accurate, but it'll get you in the right ball park.

 

Alternatively, you can calculate your loadouts manually using the HAF F-16 NATOPS. It takes a while though as there are a lot of variables that will affect your drag index (the drag of a weapon on one pylon being affected by what's loaded on the adjacent pylon, etc.). Once you've calculated everything for a loadout though, you can just save it somewhere and after a while, every loadout you use regularly will be accounted for.

 

Whichever method you decide on using, always leave a good amount of margin though as the DCS F-16 flight model is still in early development and not very accurate.

I second the OP's request. An automatically created W+B sheet, along with the appropiate performance figures, would greatly improve immersion.
