eLoadcontrol by FlightSimPartner OÜ

Welcome to eLoadcontrol, the first app created by FlightSimPartner OÜ. Our team consists of active employees from a ground handling company at BRU airport, including ground crew, Loadmasters, and engineers. We have come together to create a lifelike app based on our "on the job" experiences.

About the App

The app's function is straightforward. Virtual pilots receive figures for fuel, passengers (pax), and cargo from dispatching systems like SimBrief. These figures become the input for our app. We have developed a handmade database containing standardized weight and balance limitations and calculations for various aircraft. eLoadcontrol aims to provide a realistic and practical tool for virtual pilots and ground crews, enhancing the flight simulation experience. We hope you find it useful and enjoyable.

Key Features

• Weight and Balance Calculations: The app calculates %MAC for Zero Fuel Weight (ZFW), Takeoff Weight (TOW), and Landing Weight (LDW).
• Loadsheet and Loadplan Generation: It produces a loadsheet for the virtual pilot, which can be used for takeoff performance calculations and load planning, distributing cargo across various cargo sections for the virtual ground crew.
• ACARS Messaging: Generate and send ACARS messages to your cockpit using Hoppie's network.

Aircraft Database

Our database includes popular airliners used across the entire flight simulation market, such as MSFS, X-Plane, and P3D. The aircraft configurations in our database follow standard manufacturer documentation rather than airline-specific or registration-specific configurations.

Changelog

November 7, 2024

• Fixed weight limit label CG-Envelope for readablity
• ACARS messages has now better alignment corresponding to screen width
• Refinement of arm distances in E-jets line for better %MAC results

November 5, 2024

• Fixed weight discrepancy
• Values are now seperated in weight details
• Refinement of arm distances in 737 line for better %MAC results

November 3, 2024

• UI update for all screen resolutions (beta)
• New airlines added
• Fixed PMDG auto-wrapping issue
• Fixed E-jets not fetching correctly
• New airlines added

Note: We reworked the UI to support all screen resolutions. However, we currently do not have monitors greater than 1080p (24 inches), so the UI is still in beta. If you have a monitor larger than 24 inches with a resolution higher than 1080p, please report any feedback on the new UI.

October 31, 2024

• New backend cache busting function
• Minor UI update

Note: These new updates are purely backend improvements and minor optimizations. Users won't really notice them, but they will benefit all of us in the long run.

October 29, 2024

• new aircrafts added to the database
• slightly optimized Mobile UI

Note: mobile UI is only updated as per user request, but we still highly recommend using desktop as it integrates best with simbrief import and because the page structure is noway made for mobile usage I.E. output section and CG-envelope.

October 23, 2024

• Added 25 new aircrafts

Note: New aircraft weight and balance might be inaccurate. Please contact support with your findings.

October 22, 2024

• fixed A350-900 too much FWD MACcg
• Added new aircraft
• Added respective cabin configurations
• ~150 new airlines added and duplicates removed

Note: New aircraft weight and balance might be inaccurate. Please contact support with your findings.

October 20, 2024

• Implemented dark mode

Note: Choose your preference in the settings page and save changes for it to take effect.

October 17, 2024

• Fully implemented LBS/KGS

Note: There might be some bugs. Please provide feedback at [email protected].

October 10, 2024

• Enabled PDF download
• Completed history page to view your dispatched loadsheets
• Added CG Envelope
• Implemented backend security measures

To-Do List

• Add option for sending ACARS with simulating closeout
• Add option to remove airline IATA prefix from loadsheet for U.S. users
• Manual cargo loading
• Loading logic for freighters
• Fuel distribution on loadsheet
• Update cabin configs

Our Story

eLoadcontrol was born from a passion for flight simulation and a desire to bring real-life precision to the loading process. While flying the PMDG B737-800F from EBLG to LEMD, I noticed that loading aircraft in the simulator relied heavily on automatic cargo distribution based on Zero Fuel Weight (ZFW). This method lacked the control and accuracy we experience in real-life operations.

Determined to enhance the simulation experience, I envisioned an app that offers a detailed load plan and loadsheet. Unlike other tools, eLoadcontrol allows users to input exact cargo distributions to achieve desired Mean Aerodynamic Chord (MAC) positions, enhancing accuracy and immersion whether you prefer a forward or aft load distribution.

Two Brothers with a Dream

eLoadcontrol is led by two brothers, Seef Darwish and Yasser Darwish, aspiring pilots enrolled in the integrated ATPL program at CAE Brussels. With the support of a dedicated team of loadmasters, load controllers, and engineers, we’ve worked tirelessly to ensure eLoadcontrol is as accurate and reliable as possible.

For us, this app is both a way to contribute to the flight simulation community and to support our journey toward becoming professional pilots. Coming from modest backgrounds, eLoadcontrol represents a meaningful opportunity to merge our professional aspirations with our passion for the community.

How You Can Help

If eLoadcontrol enhances your flight simulation experience, consider supporting us by purchasing a license. With the shift to a paid model starting 01/01/2025, your support will help keep eLoadcontrol reliable and ready for the community, while also contributing to our flight training journey.

Early supporters who purchase a license now will have uninterrupted access starting from 01/01/2025. Your backing ensures the ongoing development of eLoadcontrol and helps us continue to provide high-quality tools for the flight sim community.

Thank you for being part of eLoadcontrol!

Why Are We Moving to a Paid Service?

With the growth of eLoadcontrol, we’re seeing more users join every day, which is fantastic! But as demand rises, so do the costs of keeping the app running smoothly. To maintain stability and keep up with our expanding user base, we’ll be shifting to a paid service model. This change will cover server and infrastructure costs, ensuring we can continue delivering a high-quality experience.

Starting on 01/01/2025, eLoadcontrol will require a paid license for full access to all features. These subscriptions will also help fund new projects at FlightSimPartner, bringing even more realism and tools to the flight simulation community.

We’re especially grateful to those of you who have already supported us with donations. As a thank you, your access will continue without any extra fees.

If you’d like to get a head start, you can purchase your license now for uninterrupted access starting 01/01/2025. Early supporters ensure eLoadcontrol stays reliable for everyone. Thank you for being part of this journey with us!
