Richard McDonald Woods 9 Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Without redispatch, I am able to create a long range B777-300ER FP carrying a full load of 365 px and without extra freight. But when adding in redispatch I am able to carry no more than 71 px. I believe that redispatch is aimed at reducing fuel load but this FP is adding 32,318 kgs labelled RDSP ADD. With/without redispatch my flight is specified as: plan for minimum fuel destination alternate: CYXX ETOPS 330 with NFFN and PHKO as ETP airports Without redispatch, my flight is: release: 116,584 kgs arrival fuel: 11,986 kgs take-off weight: 317,118 kgs With auto redispatch specified, my flight is: redispatch fix: 31N50 redispatch airport: PHOG redispatch alternate: PHMU release: 145,475 kgs arrival fuel: 41,160 kgs take-off weight: 319,255 kgs Can someone confirm my difficulties or indicate where my problem lies, please? I am trying to create an FP for a video that we are to produce. Until successful we cannot produce any video. Thanks for any contriutions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VHOJT 57 Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Hmm I will try running it when I get some time, but in the meantime, I would suggest try doing the redispatch manually - perhaps PHNL or KSFO or something like that - see how you go with a manual selection.

srcooke 421 Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Hello Richard, Try adding an additional EDTO alternate ie NFFN PHKO KSEA Planned here using a B77L with a close ZFW, the lower entry without redespatch: Please login to display this image. Using just the NFFN-PHKO pair and re-despatch results insufficient fuel capacity, obviously different for the -300 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard McDonald Woods 9 Posted August 6, 2017 Author Share Posted August 6, 2017 Thanks for your thoughts. @Rudy, Neither PHNL nor KSFO result in anything other than 'Fuel required exceeds maximum fuel on board (145,538 kg) limited by Tank Capacity'. I am quite prepared to lower the px but don't yet know to what. @Stepen, Adding an extra airfield to EDTO appears not to make a noticeable difference. The problem still lies in redispatching, which should result in a reduction in fuel load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srcooke 421 Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 In my example above the top entry is with re-dispatch resulting a 7.5t reduction in fuel. Which aircraft profile do you have in use for -300ER, default or third party ? and what is the ZFW planned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard McDonald Woods 9 Posted August 6, 2017 Author Share Posted August 6, 2017 My aircraft profile with redispatch is not-calculable because excessive fuel required. Without redispatch it is:: Empty weight: 167,829 kgs Payload: 33,215 kgs Max take-off weight: 351,534 kgs Max landing: 251,290 kgs ZFW: 201,044 kgs Fuel: 117,090 kgs TOW: 317,624 kgs Underload: 33,400 kgs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srcooke 421 Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 I have added a a B77W using a profile from AirlinerPerformance.net, not adjusted to match any addon. Re-dispatch achieves a fuel reduction just over 8t ( the correct airport pair this time ): destination alternate: CYXX EDTO 330 with NFFN, PHKO and KSEA as ETP airports Without redispatch: Please login to display this image. and redispatched: Please login to display this image.

Richard McDonald Woods 9 Posted August 6, 2017 Author Share Posted August 6, 2017 Wow! Sounds much more believable. I shall have to replicate. Many thanks for your help, Stephen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard McDonald Woods 9 Posted August 6, 2017 Author Share Posted August 6, 2017 Spoiler Hi Stephen, Under Win10 I have renamed the downloaded file to Boeing 777-300ER GE90-115BL.per as suggested. Copied it into c:\Users\Public\Public Documents\PFPX Data\AircraftTypes. I see that there is already a samename .txt file by Judith present. Reloading PFPX and with 365 px, I am still getting the 'fuel required exceeds max fuel' message, even after deleting my G-STBB aircraft record and allowing another to be built. My conclusion is that the installation instructions in the perf installation instructions for Win7 are incomplete? What should I do next? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
