Ah I see. Honestly just keep doing what you’re doing this is a pretty rare situation I think. I don’t think I’ve ever aborted a takeoff in IF in my many years and max manual in IF is op. If you use just auto brake RTO it might not be enough but I just got a 50% 744 up to 160 and back down to 0 before the end of a 5000 foot runway with max manual.

So I’ve started doing tests on the GA aircraft and I got some…interesting results. The Cessna 208 Caravan in IF is actually underpowered. Standard thrust for a C208 is 675 HP. When I calculated in SimBrief, I got 576 HP. The Daher TBM-930 is right on the money! It matched Simbrief with 700 HP exactly. Didn’t even need to change a single setting! The Cessna 172 is overpowered, producing 211 HP compared to the normal 180 HP

It is worth noting that GA aircrafts will use different terminolgoies for takeoff power. If it says “FULL,” use 100% THR. If it says “1900 RPM,” give the airplane 1900 rpm. For the Cessna 208, this is at 75% THR. The Daher TBM-930 may be confusing for a bunch of you. If it says something like “TRQ 100%,” use 100% THR. It’s approximated to that THR setting.
I was still curious about the C208, and I found that the MTOW in IF is 750 lbs over compared to what is stated by Cessna (8,000 lbs). That’s almost a 10% increase! That increase makes a HUGE difference especially if underpowered and overloaded. Seriously test it at its proper MTOW. You get like a 1,000 fpm climb compared to the 100-300 fpm climb I’m getting with the in-game MTOW. Btw, I’ve done tests on the CRJ family. I’ve noticed that an increasing number of IF aircraft just produce way too much raw thrust. The entire CRJ family besides the CRJ-200 have thrust past the thrust limit in SimBrief (already high if it can calculate a hypothetical A380 with 777X engines), which is way too high. This also is for the 737-700 and the 757-200. I’ll get back with more findings later.

Okay, I tried my best to calculate the Embraer family as best as I could. Simbrief only has TO1 as a takeoff setting for the jets, so I assumed 90% thrust (THR). They do have a TO setting irl. May have to wait for Simbrief to update takeoff settings like they did with the A380. Almost every aircraft should have been updated. The 767 and 787 jets are giving me a hard time by not staying on the ground. It’s like a 70/30 chance it will flop. I’ll hold off on that for now. I might do the A332-F since it shows some promise.

Well, I’ve added the A332-F to my list. It’s overpowered a bit overpowered, especially since Simbrief can’t calculate the thrust. It ptiches very differently from the other A330s obviously. Around 17.5 degrees like most Airbus planes in the sim.
