I have installed AS-Mega-Airport-Frankfurt-20_PROF_P3DV5_V2001.zip within P3Dv5. I purchased it from SimMarket. After installation I have Mega Airport Frankfurt 20 in the D:\Program Files (x86)>Aerosoft folder. P3Dv5 displays the scenery correctly but without SODE functionality. Placing the SODE folder is my problem. I have no folder for Frankfurt in my C:\Users\speed\Documents\Aerosoft. Can you be more explicit about placing the SODE folder please? Many thanks.

Hi Oliver, After failing to understand the SODE installation instructions in the Readme.txt file, your instructions above have confused me even more 😧 During installation, like Michael, I installed into my D drive. I now have Mega Airport Frankfurt Professional V5 in the Program Files (x86)\aerosoft directory. I have not installed any of my many airport sceneries into my C drive. Why are Aerosoft setting a standard which I am reluctant to follow? I cannot find an EDDFConfigTool anywhere on my PC. Can you explain, in simple terms, how I can install the SODE program on my D drive? Thanks, Richard

Thanks, Stephen. I was confused because I was looking within PFPX for the settings!

I have the default Nav 1607 database of the base product. How do I enable PFPX to always use the current Navigraph airac cycle?

I wonder how we can get a translation of the new manual. I agree that the current English manual is out of date and inadequate in some aspects. Cheers, Richard

Hi Jianmin, Congratulations on making a Mandarin version manual for PFPX. Have you just translated the current English version with some adjustments, or a completely new one 'built from the ground up'? Would it be possible to get your manual reviewed by a Mandarin speaker? Kind regards, Richard

With the forthcoming release of the new FSX, there is likely to be a requirement for alterations to PFPX. As a long time dependent on PFPX for its advanced capabilities, I am anxious that it continues to be a major player in my long-haul simming experiences. Are there any indications that I may continue to be supported by the product in the 'new world'?

Got it, thanks!

Stephen, I don't understand what you mean by 'to enter that in the advanced planner '. Where is this?

Hi Stephen, Just added M628 to my restrictions as per NOTAM and then planned VIDP-OOMS. Route looks very good! Also CPDLC functionality, coming with GFO, looks timely with this NOTAM Regards, Richard

Hi Stephen! Many thanks. Easy when you know how

How do I plan for avoiding these airspaces? Should the restrictions be downloaded automatically?

I use the Update option in Navigraph to update the PFPX data. I now have the many files, including the cycle_info.txt (containing entry for cycle 1906), in C:\Users\Public\Public Documents\PFPX Data\NavData, yet PFPX still gives the database as 1607. I cannot find a way to 'steer' where it is to get its navdata data from. I cannot find any other instance of a cycle_info.txt file. I am happy for you to use a TeamViewer session if that would help.

Hi Stephen, Thanks for your prompt reply. Having deleted the contents of the C:\Users\Public\Public Documents\PFPX Data\NavData\NavData folder (cycle_info.txt and navdata.nav) and rerun the Airac update and confirmed that cycle_info.txt is for cycle 1906 version 1, a restart of PFPX still shows Configuration>Database settings as 1607. What am I failing to do?

I have forgotten how to get PFPX to use my current Navigraph navdata. I have Navigraph cycle 1906 installed but PFPX is only using the default 1607. How do I get PFPX to use my current navdata?
