I don’t use the speeds from the from the flightsmart website. I use what Simbrief gives me. I just use flightsmart to get a base N1 value, which I thn adjust based on weather conditions and other factors.

Now how do I use this on do you use the flex v speeds or you change it to toga on simbreif ?
I just ignore whether its TOGA or FLEX. I just take the V-Speeds and the recommended flap setting.
Ok but the thrust you use is toga right ?
I guess technically since it stands for “Take-Off/Go-Around”.
But TOGA does not mean full thrust.

Ok now I’m sorry can you explain how I use those charts please
How do I adjust this based on weather condition pls how ? And can I just use the thrust percent like that on flightsmart and is the thrust toga on flight smart ?
For example this is the N1 adjustment table for the 737 MAX. Depending on what elevation you are taking off at and the outside temperature, you may need to adjust the N1 slightly.
we don’t have TOGA/FLEX in Infinite Flight so its yes and no. Yes because technically it could be TOGA, but also no because TOGA/FLEX isn’t simulated in Infinite Flight.
So where do I get those charts for all aircrafts?
There are only IFC guides for the A380 and 737 MAX. However you can probably apply those to all aircraft and it will work mostly fine.
Ok so I can use the 737 max for the a350? Can you pls share the a380?

The N1 adjustment table will more or less work fine with the A350.
It “isn’t simulated” in the sense that you can’t physically enter a temperature into the FMS and have the FADEC control the engine output given that; however you can still “simulate” it manually by using the corresponding thrust that would be produced with that FLEX temperature otherwise.
All FLEX does, is essentially fool the engine into thinking that it’s hotter than it is outside and reduce the thrust output accordingly. You can simulate that manually in IF if you want to, given that you have the necessary conversion charts (e.g. the ones you linked to, for the A380 and 737MAX.)
I would be cautious with applying A380 values to other aircraft as since it’s a quadjet, it can use significantly more reduced thrust on takeoff compared to twinjets while still satisfying climb gradient requirements. The 737MAX is probably OK-ish but perhaps still on the lower side compared to many other planes.

That’s why I said “mostly fine” - you do need to be careful sometimes, particularly when light.

Honestly I’m confused and don’t know what to do lol I wish infinite flight can just have the flex and all just like msfs I wish
We have artificial FLEX. In other words, you can simulate a FLEX setting by calculating yourself. Use the tables provided in the 737MAX 8 and A380 guides to calculate roughly what the N1% would be, if you’re not opting to use TO/GA.
