OFP template optimized for 747-400
By Will C
Just for fun, here is an OFP template for PFPX that is optimized for the 747-400. (Specifically, it is optimized for the PSX simulator, but you could use it with any other platform. Also, I guess you could use it for any other aircraft, but that would be at your own risk.)
Why create a fictitious OFP template?
If you've been around airline ops for long, you'll have noticed that most OFPs look like they are stuck in the 1960's in terms of layout. Data was expensive those days, and printers weren't very robust -- just simple characters, often dot matrix, on fan-folded perforated paper. Fast forward to now, and we live in the world of paperless cockpits and electronic flight bags, so the whole concept of a paper OFP may be anachronistic.
Still, maybe there's room in the world for a PFPX-style paper OFP that doesn't skimp too much on the data. Meaning, we don't have to live with all the arcane abbreviations. It could be more user friendly, in other words.
So here is what a more user-friendly OFP might look like.
In addition to the OFP template itself, there are two examples here, so you can see what I'm talking about. Example number 1 (called Sample-Simple.pdf) is a simple flight plan: just the basics: origin, destination, and one alternate. No remarks, and no bells and whistles.
Example number 2 (called Sample-Complex.pdf) is a more complex example, with origin, destination, two alternates, re-dispatch point, re-dispatch alternate, speed restriction, and EDTO ops. Plus some sample text in all the possible remark fields.
Both of these are created with WJC-OFP.txt, the template itself.
Just put it in your folder with your other PFPX Flightplan Templates and you are good to go. Any needed fields (re-dispatch, EDTO, remarks, etc.) will automatically make it to the OFP if you enter the data into PFPX.
I'll let them speak for themselves generally. But if you look at Sample-Complex, you'll see it starts with the airline and flight info -- I just picked something random for the example; whatever you pick will make it to the OFP. Then comes a summary of all the relevant airports. After that are the flight plan remarks and the messages to crew (if applicable). You'll note a convention here: every section is introduced with its name in boldface, underneath a dashed line. Anytime you see the full-width dashed line, you're dealing with a new section.
Under Flight Summary, I picked a fictitious dispatcher. PFPX as you know has a way to pick the user as the dispatcher; I removed that because I want to be the captain, and it didn't make sense to have both the captain and the dispatcher be the same person. If you want to be the dispatcher, just change this line back to the PFPX OFP default.
Load Summary lets you write in the CG that you get from your load sheet.
Fuel Upload lets you check that the loaded fuel (from your fueler's report) matches what you expect to have on board. Optimized for liters and pounds, sorry about that. If you want to change to other units that's fine, just put in the correct conversion factor. (The PSX fueler's report gives the fuel density in kg/L, hence this default. Note that the first section called "Onboard" represents the fuel on the aircraft prior to fueling.
Fuel Summary gives you the FMC reserves on the right. The performance adjustments are in (more) plain English.
The EDTO Critical Fuel Summary is more readable here than these things usually are.
Not much to say until the Navigation Log, where I simplified the data. We can assume that the FMC stores the wind data, which is interpolated anyway from the data at the bottom of the OFP, so I don't feel obligated to reproduce it here. The Lat/Long Coordinates format is exactly what you would enter into the FMC if you need to do that (like creating fixes for switchover points between nearest suitable airports, or FIR boundaries). Just type what you see directly into the FMC.
The two areas for doing some math are on the far right: Time, and Fuel. Write in your actual elapsed time and your fuel on board at each waypoint (or just once every 250 miles or so), and see how you're doing with your schedule and predicted burn.
The Oceanic Entry table is optimized for the 744, like everything else. Things like "ANP" and "VTK ERR" will be familiar to users of the 744 FMC.
You can see a speed restriction before 3230W that is lifted after 50S00.
And really, that's about it.
In sum, the advantages are that this OFP is more readable than most.
The disadvantages are that it's entirely fictitious (and I know simmers usually gravitate towards "maximum realism" so I can understand any aversion to a fictitious format). Also as I said it's optimized for the Boeing 747-400, and the fuel upload section is even more specifically optimized for PSX.
Gratitude and credit to the creators of the generic PFPX OFP template, which was the parent for this one. Thanks also to Stephen Cooke who has been generous in answering my questions on the support forum.
Thanks for reading this far! Comments and feedback are welcome.

Norwegian LIDO layout *B737-800 short-haul*
Just throw the contents of the PFPX Data folder in this .zip into your existing one at:
C:\Users\Public\Documents\PFPX Data\FlightplanTemplates (or wherever you have your PFPX files located)
This is just a basic rendition of the LIDO layout Norwegian Air was using at some time shortly after the switch
from AirSupport PPS8 to LIDO v7.
I recommend you use this layout for Norwegian Air flights on the 737 exclusively, this is highly tailored
to that operation and might cause problems down the road if you try to plan wildly exotic stuff with it.
Some tips:
1) LNNGW and EIFVX are included with some weight variants
2) CLB at 250/280/.78
CRZ at CI15
DES at .78/280/250 -> that's what Norwegian Air was planning with at the time of my samples.
3) You'll need to select "NAX_LIDO" from the crewinfo dropdown to take full advantage of the layout.
Use 'NAX_LIDO_TOAltn' as an OFP layout when planning with a takeoff alternate.
after you release a flight, select this when printing:
-Courier Bold 12pt
-CrewInfo yes
-ATC-FP no (as it's included in the OFP)
What I added was the Alternate Nav Log, this is an EASA requirement that I believe came after my most recent OFP
samples were dated but is now mandatory in every OFP.

Eurowings Discover (OCN) LH Group OFP template
Hiya,
thanks for downloading my PFPX template. It closely resembles the current layout used by Lufthansa's newest leisure
carrier venture/experiment, the very young and very hip and very start-uppy 'Eurowings Discover'!
The OFPs are calculated by Lufthansa's dispatch centre so I would assume the current DLH OFP layout looks pretty
much the same. Keep in mind they are switching to electronic OFPs anyway though, so as for many airlines, printed
PDF versions of flightplans will be a thing of the past.
Anyway, I've built this layout because it was fun, it's a pretty comprehensive one, and I've also set it up to be
compatible with aircraft types and fuel policies beyond your standard European A320 ops.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TO INSTALL:
1) Go into Explorer, paste this into the navigation bar in the top center:
"%PUBLIC%\Documents\PFPX Data\FlightplanTemplates"
This will open a folder containing all your installed flightplan layouts.
2) Put the "OCN.txt" file into your this folder you just opened.
3) The next time you start PFPX, "OCN" will be available as a flightplan layout from the dropdown-menu.
4) optional: Lufthansa/Ocean seem to use Courier Bold around 12pt as font,
so you can set your PFPX up to use this, too.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NICE TO KNOW:
Dispatcher info at the end of the OFP is taken from aircraft data. To edit, go into the aircraft database menu,
select and edit the particular airframe as follows:
Remarks -> Aircraft Operational Data: enter phone number here
Remarks -> Aircraft Remarks: enter SITA address (7 digits, uppercase) here
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Known limitations:
1) "SPEED" in the header can only show one of three options (ECON, MACH, or FIXED) instead of
"VRBL" in real life. VRBL should be displayed when a flight is planned with alternating
speed schedules (e.g. Oceanic crossings through MNPS airspace with fixed MACH required, but
taking off with a cost index)
2) Protected/un-protected contingency fuel not available in PFPX. The "CONT DES" in the fuel ladder is
not accurate.
3) EROPS data lacks many many details that PFPX just doesn't provide, like for example approach minima or crosswind
components at aedequate enroute airfields.
If you're into realism, feel free to edit these fields with a text editor after saving the OFP.
