webranger51 3 Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Just downloaded and installed PFPX version 2.0. Planning and all works, but I am unable to release the flight and print the plan. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluemarlin1 11 Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 A fair few bugs in it at my end too. Haven't actually dispatched a flight yet though. The pax weight issue has already been mentioned, I installed a recent nav database update and although it picks up expired routes due to airway changes, I am unable to delete these as per previous versions. Seems quite twitchy in its operation to me. While I appreciate the work, this seems to ave some glitches and either hasn't been thoroughly tested or issues have been ignored.

alpha117 51 Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Dan, Did you copy your Fuel policy from your backup, or did you create it within V2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said, I dont understand the issue, and it's not like I'm a first time user that doesn't know how to properly dispatch a flight. Just weird that it cannot be released off the schedule. Will report back after a fresh reinstall... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you referring to fuel? I have the fuel costs at every Southwest airport so I'll end up tankering fuel to save money. If not let me know what you are referring to.

I'll try dispatching it without it, but I very rarely dispatch alternates unless the weather calls for one. Southwest will try to not dispatch alternates unless it is imperative.

Even with a brand new unedited PFPX I still cannot release the flight. Hopefully they fix this, really disappointed I upgraded to v2 now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatGuyDan96 4 Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 I literally just figured out what the problem was. Apparently you need to check the NOTAMs boxes before the flight can be released. No idea why that would magically become a requirement in v2 but apparently it is.

Deputy Sheriffs Tom A320 4915 Posted December 8, 2018 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted December 8, 2018 Can't confirm, I can release my flights regardless of any of the NOTAM check boxes. But you have to wait a moment after computing the flight as PFPX triggers the IFPS route validation. Only when that finished you are able to release the flight.

phil747fan 52 Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 did you check the notams box before trying to schedule it? or maybe try the hotfix Please login to display this image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
