chkl 34 Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Does not matter the settings I continue to get errors trying to plan this. I used the default profile for the 777-300er and every time I plan it gives me errors about max fuel and others. Please help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chkl 34 Posted August 11, 2017 Author Share Posted August 11, 2017 I angered the flight sim Gods. I am unable to paste a route into the route section of pfpx on a restart. Restarting has not helped this route causes bugs in pfpx. I am giving up flying tonight, I have the latest beta version available and I don't have the patience for this.

srcooke 422 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 I have used a profile from AirlinerPerformance.net without issue.

Yesterday my error was user error caused by only selecting one etops airport, YPCC... I added YPPH and it compiled. But when I went back to manually add the step climbs as in the flight plan pulled off flightaware invalid argument is my error. Restarting pfpx I cannot copy and paste a plan into the route.

BW901 58 Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Hi Stephen, thanks for plugging my files, as ever. Just a reminder that Cost Index climb and descent is available on that aircraft (and most of my Boeing and Airbus files). Just select ECON and PFPX will calculate using the same CI as you've entered for cruise. The OP's CI400 is very high, that's a "fine on fuel, let's make up lost time enroute" CI number. Cheers Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BW901 58 Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 OK, thanks. Never thought anyone would be that high. I guess it helps when you're sitting above an ocean of oil! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chkl 34 Posted October 5, 2017 Author Share Posted October 5, 2017 This route has etops requirements and this is making me carry 20kgs of fuel extra making me too heavy most of the time I plan the flight. There are a limited number of airports I can select and I have tried many combinations, is this an easy fix by changing a config in the aircraft profile? Thank you for any assistance.

srcooke 422 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Try setting either your planning/units in options or the aircraft profile to the same units, either kgs or lbs. Have you tried the alternative aircraft profile ? Post your latest snapshots including the EDTO setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried the addon 777 profile Next time I have time to fly the route I'll take a picture. I can disable etops and get correct numbers. The small stretch of airspace south of Diego Garcia makes me put in etops airports on most daily EK409 routes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srcooke 422 Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 From your original post the images indicate PFPX is set to pounds and the aircraft kilograms, maybe worth checking they match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a mistake in the aircraft profile although i have not had a chance to fly and test I plan to on Sunday. but I had in the aircraft profile set alternative airports to only military Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was for a limited time only during the "good old time" :). Now they are using CI57, which is a bit reasonable... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
