[What´s next with PFPX]

Thank-you Judith and Christian for a wonderful program.

 

A lot of the enjoyment in this hobby comes from planning realistically for the airline I choose to fly - PFPX with its huge range of options makes this possible.  I would honestly enjoy this hobby far less without a program such as PFPX which you created.

 

I am glad to read you will still have the program available, along with the server subsription, so hopefully PFPX will not "die" as did Danur's FOC.

 

I was going to make a post for others to put ideas of what PFPX enthusiasts should do into the future, but having read your post my mind is somewhat more at rest.

 

Thanks again, your program has and will continue to give me much enjoyment.

 

Kind regards,

Rudy

 

PS - indeed many thanks to Stephen Cooke who has been an absolutely essential member of the community.  Cheers, Stephen

There is NO difference in how PFPX uses the AS weather in v2.04.

 

The ONLY difference is the message that you are now seeing was previously suppressed when using third party weather sources.

 

PFPX is using the AS 'current_weather_snapshot.txt' file that does not contain wind data forecasted over time. Your wind forecast is generated using the fixed data provided in the snapshot as it always has done.

 

Other than removing a message, that is correct, there is nothing to fix regarding using AS for planning.

 

I think I am going to go bald if I read this thread again.  Please read Stephen's post.

 

There is no issue with PFPX.

 

I just realised before I say that in bold - can you still release your flight plans?

It will still work as it did before, just with 2.04 you are reminded that the upper wind forecast over time is not available. The only source for this within PFPX is the online weather option.

 

Personally I use PFPX online weather for planning and ActiveSky in-flight.

 

Have you guys all read what Stephen said above ^^^^.

 

It's not an issue, it's telling you that there is no wind forecast when using Activesky weather, which is true.  So how is this an issue?

I would also love an A380 - it is simply done no justice anywhere in the FS world. Even if some compromises had to be made on realism of some aspects.
