Wow that FSLabs A320 is generating a lot of traffic!

 

FSLabs have produced their own PFPX files, and choice is a great thing, but if anyone wants dynamic Cost Index in all flight phases the A320 files at www.airlinerperformance.net have recently been updated to latest PFPX file format spec. For CI in climb and descent select ECON for each or either and PFPX will calculate using either your selected cruise CI (just type the CI value into the cruise box) or for the Optimum CI, if you've given the system fuel and hourly costs to work with.

 

Next up a B736 file for PMDG users (we spread the love :)) to correct the errors in the default PFPX file.

Hi,

Regarding the B736, or any of the NG, you could try the performance files as per below. I haven't used the 736 one, but the 738 and 739 ones seem very accurate.

 

Regards,

Michael.

Wait wut? This is a thing? Pfpx can now calculate a cost index for you? When did this happen?

Sorry that's my bad :hanged_s:, the way Optimum FL is calculated by PFPX from the performance data was updated, and that does already allow cost optimisation if you throw fuel and hourly costs into the system.

 

On the Cost Index enter the required value into the Cruise box, and (for an aircraft which has the appropriate data) you can then either select a fixed speed schedule Climb or Descent, or ECON to calculate them at the same CI value.
