So there we have that particular "substance" for the whole pre-flight part. Very informative, gives the casual FSX:SE - 2010 NGX user (*cough*) a bigger picture what he's missing out on.
What I would've liked if you could've shown a bit more of the whole climb. We got a little bit of panorama ChasePlane scenes around what looks to me like around 10'000 ft. at the end but in my opinion it makes the video a bit more, uh, "complete" if there were 30 secs. to 1 min. of climbing and reaching Cruise altitude before the actual outro. In what way you edit that in is up to you.
And since you know your stuff, how do step climbs get calculated? It has something to do with the overall amount of payload/fuel corresponding to flight performance & efficiency I guess, since you may be too heavy for a higher flight level now but later during cruise, you have burned enough fuel to go higher and still have optimal performance.
Is it done by the aircraft itself after you fed it the data or are the calculations directly done by the pilots and they punch the numbers in? I remember doing it back in the day for the FS9 Pmdg MD11 on some flights not because I wanted it to do it but because the FMC kind of suggested it to me. But what would be the correct way to do it for example here in the Tripple whopper Seven?

Thanks for the input, I appreciate it! Step climbs are calculated once the aircraft is light enough to climb to a higher more efficient altitude. Sometimes, however, for long flights there also may be steps that go down to a lower altitude based upon wind, turbulence, etc. The step climbs (or descents) are calculated on the dispatch release I don't do anything other than just input them into the FMC. Steps can also be calculated by the aircraft, I put "0" into the "Step Size" field on the PERF INIT page to tell the plane to not calculate step climbs. By telling the aircraft to not calculate steps, I can put them in manually based upon what my dispatch release tells me.

@@ThatGuyDan96 I see, this shows clearly there is a lot and I mean A LOT of planning going on in and around the aircraft while it's on a turnaround. Well, of course, you know a lot about it since you have working experience in that area.
