OAL809 1 Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Good day. I have seen a lot of youtube videos about the pfpx and other real aviation softwares too. I am using Simbrief actually and i am keen on pfpx because has more functionality. I came across with a video today from a real flight planning software and i 've seen these options : Please login to display this image. Please login to display this image. Does PFPX have the same options as seen from screenshots above or will they be implemented in a future update ?I mean -Option to SIGWX ,Hazards,SIGMETs on flight route screen (simbrief has that option for sigwx and skyvector has the sigmets and weather radar functionality like echo tops,base reflectivity) -Option to Avoid Turbulence,Icing,Convective areas (thunderstorms etc),NATs, -Option to select POLAR routing or not (not seen above my suggestion) -Option to see fuel prices at many airports (not seen above my suggestion) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VHOJT 57 Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 At the moment, no, no, no, no. You can choose your route as you see fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlightSimSoft.com 283 Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 There are some new features planned with next release, so some of your suggestions are then included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Proudfoot 231 Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Christian, nice to hear PFPX will be getting new features. I was getting worried it might not be updated any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not understand, I have been talking about the new version of PFPX for two years, but it never comes, and I think it will never come again. PFPX = TOPCAT = DEAD. this is my idea and this must remain. I think you have hit and understood the situation. Simbreaf currently superior.

I continue to use it frequently and it connects to the wx servers and the Navigraph data is updated. True there have been no new features for a while primarily because the author has had personal issues to deal with. Hopefully he's overcome those now. But it remains a very good program.

You bought it with the functionality it had at the time of the purchase and NONE of that is removed. Tens of thousand of people are using it every day. If simBrief offers all you need and you like that better, of course use that tool. It's spiffingly good, but if you compare features you must agree it does not match.

VHOJT 57 Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Simbrief doesn't come close to the power of PFPX. And it is not dead. Just because it hasn't been updated for a while. I mean no-one says the PMDG 737 is dead because it has't been updated for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airbusitalia 17 Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 I hope I'm wrong, but it's difficult. Now years of promise of a new version of PFPX never arrived. And as a good habit in the forum aerosoft, when you express your idea, come the downvote. Demonstration that you must always say what administrators say, little freedom of thought, ideas. One thing is also true, the downvotes come from the children who attend the forum. I repeat, it's just my idea and kindly bring respect in a free world of expression. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs Tom A320 4915 Posted May 15, 2018 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted May 15, 2018 You are right, we are (luckily) living in a free world where we can express our opinions. This is true for everyone, and I guess that's also true for the down votes. Calling other users making use of this feature "children" simply shows your disrespect against those users and their opinion. So please do not claim the right of free speech if you can't stand the answers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they are correctly used in this case. I also considered your post without merit as you make statements that are just not valid. They should not be used to 'punish' people (like your downvote of Tom's post) and that's why we check all downvotes manually and give warnings when they are used incorrectly.
