If I select M.60 or M.70 instead of Cost Index like 20, will PFPX calculate with LRC as well below FL290?
It depends on the altitude.
I am far away from my working computer, but I have a paper with the list of various flight modes on my A320-214 profiles with 5B4/P engines (please see the photo below under the spoiler).
Here you can see the full list of cruise modes at Mach numbers. The numbers you can see in the brackets mean the minimum altitude for the corresponding mode. Lower of any of these altitudes we have LRC.
Spoiler
UPD. The FCOM on A320 that I have around tells us that in the ideal world the optimum altitude for 186 nmi flight should be FL280-FL320 (depending on landing weight) assuming that the aircraft flies in LRC mode for at least 5 minutes. What altitude has PFPX computed for you?

Thanks for the update. Well after a complete re installation the problem still exist with version 1.28.8. What I found as well is with the standard templates from PFPX there is no CLIMB CRUISE Descent Schedule
available. Its grey and not clickable.
It looks like you use a stock B777-200LRF profile. I've never checked them deeply before, so I'll have a look.

On a very short flight for A320 like this it never climbs higher than FL290 whereas cost index itself, as a function on Airbus A32x family, starts from FL290. Lower than that, the aircraft flies in LRC mode which is standard for any cost index meaning.
You can also test the CI function on longer flights, starting from 400 nmi onwards.

Same on B777-300ER (const ISA+3, const wind component, payload, DOW and routing)
Please see the screenshot below.
Could you please tell me more details about the case?

I have found an bug with the Cost Index. With all Airbus it makes no diffrence what Cost Index I set, for example CI 10 or CI 20. The speed is always the same. Its not only with Airbus. Same with 777 profiles and so on.
I think its an problem with PFPX 1.28.8

Sascha
Sascha, I've tested A320 profile with set ISA deviation, constant wind component, DOW, payload and routing.
CI0, 50 and 100.
Speeds on OFP vary accordingly to the CI.
Please see the screenshot below.

Good work inlovewithBoeing!
Perhaps you might consider signing your post with a less cryptic name?
No problem, will do with starting the next one.

The actual difference between low Cost Indeces on Airbus is relatively small, so it's hard to say whether it's a bug or not. Try to use wider range to test this.

Very nice, did you get CI performance data somewhere?
When I did mine that I posted in the TFDi forums I could not get any data for the CIs.No, I was unlucky with that this time. But I have all Mach No - from M0.60 to MMO of 0.82. Pretty large range for most of the operations.

Hi Mykyta,
I have been using you profiles for a while now and love them! I have ran into a problem recently, though.
After installing the latest hotfix for PFPX, I noticed that the program is not correctly calculating passenger weights. Since I live and fly in the US, I use pounds to calculate my weights. When I prepare a OFP with you profile and export the payload figures to TOPCAT, I noticed that the payload totals were off by a few hundred pounds. It seems as if PFPX is not using the values I've entered in the settings for my default passenger and baggage weights. I've attached a jpg to illustrate what I mean.
The default weights are as follows:
Adult: 195 lbs.
Child: 87 lbs.
Baggage: 30 lbs.
Have you, or anyone else, seen this before?
You can go to General Options and set weights whatever you like them to be.

In terms of PMDG B747 v3 release today, I'd like to remind all the subscribers that my Boeing 747-400 family PFPX profiles are still available on Aerosoft file library.

More to add, the founder of the project had a wonderful opportunity to use the knowledge in real life flight performance work. It was to do with A330 aircrafts for one charter airline. That was wonderful experience.CURRENT WORK
Right now the main work is going over the very popular A320 Family.
Many people asked me to do this family because of its complexity and volumes of data. I spent almost a year to collect enough manuals to cover the whole family, including the sharklet versions.The work is going on, and I hope the it will be completed till Christmas holidays.
PLANS FOR FUTURE
In the future the project plans to expand its work towards A330 and A340 families. The documentation is already collected, so the work is about to get started after A320 Family is done.
Next, there are going to be smaller, but still very popular aircraft families that are not covered yet.
Also, the project is planning to research takeoff and landing performance for pilots, to see what we can offer you in this sphere.To the later period I'm going to launch a website to keep everything in one place and share some more info.
TO HELP THE PROJECT
If you want to give feedback or comments, to send a request or help with the manuals and documentation, to get some help or consultancy on the related subjects, to ask any questions, please contact me via e-mail flyprecisely(at)hotmail.comFlyPrecisely would like to tell a big thanks to all the people and organizations who helped with technical documentation to make this work possible.
I would like you to note that making PFPX profiles is very time-consuming work that requires a lot of attention and concentration. Anyway, the PFPX profiles were, are and will be free for download, modification and derivative development purposes.

hi All, desperately looking for a 747-8 profile... just got the SSG 747-8i/F on X-Plane and would like to add it to PFPX
saw that you guys were about to do one, any progress?
thanks for your great work btw
Sorry for such a long delay, I've bee off this stuff for some time.
Unfortunately, I don't have any performance data on Boeing 747-8.

Any word on when the download section will be back up and operational???
If you are registered on Avsim.net Library, type there "PFPX" and you'll get the profiles.

Hi everyone!
I would like to thank Mykyta for taking his time to build this profiles!
I have tested the B763-ER profile and works like a charm.Is there any chance to build de Leonardo SH MD-82 Profile?
Let me know if you need some manuals or charts.
Thank you for your feedback.
Unfortunately, MD82 is not on my plans yet.

Hi Enis, Profiles for IAE variants of the 32x are bundled with PFPX and if you check a recent post from me you'll find another option, but I won't hijack ILWB's thread further with a direct link. Jon
That's no problem, sir. We are colleagues here.

Hello Mykyta,
This is just a quick message to thank you for the time you take to create those profiles. I hope to see more from you in the future. You made me want to work on the A310 for which I am halfway, your files helped me a lot to understand the mechanics of PFPX profile creation. Again, thank you very much
Thank you, topgun, much appreciated.
Hi Mykyta, Airbus 319-132, 320-200 and 321-200 with IAE configurations would be really very great! Regards, Enis Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Enis, thank you for your feedback.
A32x family with IAE engines appeared to be a certain issue. I haven't got any performance data for this engine yet. However, I do my best to find a place where I could have collected it.
Regards,
Mykyta

PFPX Profiles By FlyPrecisely
in Professional Flight Planner X (not for sale anymore)
Posted
Well, I think so. 414 KTAS under ISA conditions at FL230 equals M0.682. So far, my profiles on A320-214 have can fly at FL230 at M0.60-M0.71.
However, you have to remember that higher cruising speeds on short segments of flight might result in lower time en-route, resulting thus in lower optimum altitudes OR almost no actual cruise portion at all. Because of that, there is a special field in PFPX software - percentage of cruise part on short trips. The default value is 20% that is pretty reasonable for such flights. However, one can always modify this entry considering the factors above.
