The FAA removed DINS Query, so yes unfortunately functions are diminishing

Unfortunately I have not heard anything further from FlightsimSoft. Alternatives are to use ActiveSky or WX2PFPX as weather sources and the FAA site to obtain NAT and PACOTs which can be copy/pasted to PFPX in manual mode.

Simbrief was aquired by Navigraph in April 2021 where Derek the developer still plays a pivotal role. Simbrief remains free to use with a fixed AIRAC that is periodically updated, a Navigraph subscription is required should you require active AIRAC. Without doubt it is an excellent product especially for retrieving routes whether those published by users or now the enhanced realworld coverage. If however you are looking to plan your own routes then PFPX is still far easier to use whereby you can create your own direct links for automatic routing, create and avoid restricted areas and automatically use your defined sub-routes. Whilst me may have lost the online data hopefully the activation server remains active (or an alternative means made available), which was the case when I tested following flightsimsoft.com going offline.

I can only suggest that you contact support@flightsimsoft.com to try and prompt an update. Unfortunately changes at NOAA and the FAA have led to the loss of metar/taf and NAT. If you do not have ActiveSky available then WX2PFPX works as a good alternative.

Unless the data issues were to be resolved then the subscription renewal would not be worth it. Hopefully the program activation server stays running or a workaround becomes available.

If your activation code fails all I can suggest is that you try contacting support@flightsimsoft.com

What was the result of submitting the activation request? I tested activation after the website went offline without issue.

WX2PFPX has been updated and is now functional once more.

Recent data changes by the Aviation Weather Service and FAA have resulted in a loss of data requiring reconfiguration, the dev has been made aware but I cannot suggest this will be resolved. Only the the upper wind forecasts are currently available. The only alternative would be to use ActiveSky if you have that available, even WX2PFPX requires a fix for that to operate as an altenative. I would suggest that you try and email flightsimsoft.

Hello Torben, I do not believe the registration details are located in the general PFPX registry locations and could not suggest where they are. They may even be generated locally to lock to hardware. The activation server is certainly still available but obviusly requires the key, I can only suggest contacting FlightsimSoft directly.

NATs are the Atlantic oceanic tracks, those and Pacific tracks are linked in my post above. NOTAM's would have to be sourced externally, again the FAA site linked can be searched for those.

For the example you would only require the weather, from the WX icon on the status bar setup the path to the "current_weather_snapshot" of ActiveSky or the WX2PFPX output location ( it generates the same file format as ActiveSky). Switch to ActiveSky mode and the currently generated file will be loaded.

The online server remains functional at this time including the ability to activate the program. For those with lost keys or seeking subscription renewal then I'm afraid it requires a response from Flightsimsoft. You can continue to use PFPX using external weather sources ActiveSky or WX2PFPX , Tracks can be copy/pasted from FAA sites NAT and Predifined Queries for PACOTS having switched the track mode to manual.
