Copper. 20 Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 I am trying to construct a flight plan template. I cant get the PFPX fields to align under a heading in the "<&AlternatesAvailable>" section. See below: What I want PFPX to show: ALTERNATE W/C DIST DIV TRIP MIN FUEL FUEL REQD KPHL-PHILADELPHIA INTL M011 113 5.200 9.600 KBOS-LOGAN INTL (BOSTON) P012 184 6.500 11.100 KBWI-BALTIMORE WASH. M026 167 6.500 11.100 KIAD-WASHINGTON DULLES M031 230 7.800 12.600 What PFPX shows: ALTERNATE W/C DIST DIV TRIP MIN FUEL FUEL REQD KPHL-PHILADELPHIA INTL P002 81 3393 XX.XXX KBWI-BALTIMORE/WASHINGTON INTL THUR M001 160 5338 XX.XXX KBOS-LOGAN INTL M002 163 5373 XX.XXX KIAD-WASHINGTON DULLES INTL M004 201 6292 XX.XXX As you can see, it is all over the place. Any help appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VHOJT 57 Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Have a look at the Flight Plan Template Guide (downloadable from the FlightSimSoft site). It explains how to fix your problem. Basically, easy way is to make your fields always a certain length. For example, <&Altn1[0]:15> The :15 bit will make sure the field is always 15 characters long, making it easy to calculate where things will end up. Hope this helps, Rudy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcars 23 Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 See the special formatting section: # symbol Special formatting field (E.g. <&#[2]:30> causes the field to begin at the 30st character from left and ensures that two characters left ofthe field are blank This in effect, lets you specify the column to begin the next field so you can align columns Example: Note this sets the Weight fields to begin at column 35 and specifies length values for each field FUEL TIME PLAN WEIGHT STRUC LIMIT ENROUTE BURN <&TripFuel[7]:4> <&TripTime[10]:5><&#[2]:35>OEW <&DOW[6]:6> <&ContingencyFuelSection_Begin><&ContingencyFuelCaption:15> <&ContingencyFuel[7]:4> <&ContingencyTime[10]:5><&ContingencyFuelSection_End> CONT/HOLD <&HoldFuel[7]:4> <&HoldTime[10]:5><&#[2]:35>PYLD <&Payload[6]:6> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VHOJT 57 Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Bruce is right - if you're doing a Navlog or something, some strange things happen using my field length method. Use the method he describes if things don't work as expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Copper. 20 Posted August 10, 2016 Author Share Posted August 10, 2016 I think you method is the best Rudy because the titles/names of the alternates will change every time. The second method is great, but only for when the titles/names remain fixed. in any case, I'll try both and report back. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
