VirtualBag Version 1 Preparing for Lift Off
VirtualBag is a Infinite Flight Pilots one stop shop or hanger for all the information you need regarding aircraft performance and information.
With version 1 launching soon we aim to have a slew of features available to help you navigate and fly the aircraft of Infinite Flight easier, smoother and better than ever. With in depth performance calculations, information and more you will have everything you need to master any aircraft you wish.
The main reason I created this database of performance was due to the general scarcity of information for certain and majority of aircraft. Yes newer aircraft have more information but older aircraft do not get the same treatment, with this that changes.
You can chose any aircraft of your choice. With a search function being implemented for quicker navigation.
VirtualBag’s main feature is having aircraft performance at your fingertips. For version 1 we aim to have all Airbus and Boeing aircraft available with more aircraft being added as frequently as possible. Aircraft that could be following or added with version 1 is the Embraer E175.
Aircraft performance metrics include the following:
- Takeoff and Landing Data
- Fuel Burn Data
- Cruising Altitudes
- Cruising Speeds
More information and performance metrics may become available in the future.
Here is a WIP (Work In Progress) shot of the Takeoff and Landing Data for the Airbus A220-300.

The plan for VirtualBag is to have a consistent update schedule. With no set timeline yet we cannot give a guarantee on how long between updates it will be we can assure you that if anything changes regarding aircraft it will be endeavored to be adjusted on the site.
For those who are interested in the languages this has been fully coded in HTML, Styled in CSS with a touch of Javascript.
The current roadmap for VirtualBag is as follows:
The release date has been updated to TBA.
After that we intend on adding other aircraft types such as Bombardier, Cessna, McDonnel Douglas and more. We are not going to add all within one update but are going to stage release them to ensure we are satisfied with the contents. With us aiming for a end of September release version 1 may include the Embraer E175 depending on the release of the aircraft.
Later on towards the end of the year we hope to have added some more aircraft to the list along with general quality of life improvements.
Looking in 2022 we hope to have a Discord Bot that ties in with the website in order to send information about a specific aircraft type. This will come in very handy for VA’s and VO’s looking to take their simming experience even further.
Further into 2022 we have not planned that far yet but more information will be released closer to the date.
For all communications about WIP’s please feel free to DM me on the forum with any suggestions, concerns or improvements you would like to see. Please note they may not be added immediately but they will be added based on time, demand and other factors. Please keep the DM structured so that I can act on it.
I want to personally thank everyone involved in this project for their help and input during the startup times.
Personal shoutouts go to:
@DeerCrusher - For helping me with aircraft performance, data and design inputs
@Oliver_P - For helping me in reviewing the thread and for other items here and there.
@Watt - For always being excited and encouraging about the future of development of the site.
@Marc - For answering a question I had regarding this thread.
To everyone else who may have known and or have had input made I am so thankful.
Getting to this point was a goal I never thought I would reach but through hard work, dedication, blood, sweat and tears I made it. Building everything from scratch was hard enough I have also never done any form of development before so this was a massive learning curve but I persisted and got it to where she is today!
The core website is complete now with refinements and aircraft adjustments taking place. I hope that you all can appreciate the detailed information and detail put not only into the aircraft performance and information but the website also.
Onwards and Upwards,
Ruan (Average_Gamer)
