Ray Proudfoot 231 Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Using v2.03 I am planning a flight from LFML to EGKK using the Xtreme Prototypes Lear 25. This is an aircraft with a ceiling of 45,000, maybe higher. This is the routing provided which seems fine but the vertical profile limits me to FL260 reducing further in the flight to 200. Why not higher? Departure time is 11:30Z 12/12/18. ETRE5N ETREK UM976 BRY UM733 PIREG UT421 KUNAV TIMB4B With the previous version I had no such issues. I've just entered the same route into the previous version and the cruise level was FL470. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srcooke 421 Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 You have the aircraft performance file Ray ? Computed here at FL340 with an MD82 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Proudfoot 231 Posted December 12, 2018 Author Share Posted December 12, 2018 Hi Stephen, I have a Learjet 25D.txt in C:\Users\Public\Documents\PFPX Data\AircraftTemplates. Does that help? Learjet 25D.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srcooke 421 Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 If you open that template Ray near the top is an entry <PerformanceFile> , it will tell you the performance file that is used and located in aircraft types. Please forward the template and .per file From where did they originate ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Proudfoot 231 Posted December 12, 2018 Author Share Posted December 12, 2018 I'm attaching the txt file in AircraftTypes. There isn't a .per file. The author has the name of "Captain Obvious". Pretty sure I downloaded it from the Download section here on Aerosoft but looking at it there are only a handful of files now. Perhaps many have been removed?

srcooke 421 Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 That is the performance file RAY, my mistake on the .per which are encoded options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srcooke 421 Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Six pax: (FPL-LEAR-IN -LJ25/L-SDFGRWY/S -LFML1310 -N0440F430 ETREK UM976 BRY UM733 PIREG UT421 KUNAV -EGKK0120 EGMC -PBN/B2B3B4D2D3O2O3S2 DOF/181212 REG/LEAR EET/LFFF0004 EGTT0110 RVR/550 PER/C -E/0218) Perhaps you could post the OFP.

Can the .per files only be supplied by PFPX Stephen? But if the txt file I attached is the performance file I'm struggling to understand why the flight levels are so different with the same aircraft data. Maybe my settings in 2.03 are different. Any suggestion where to start? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srcooke 421 Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Try using the different optimization option when computing the flight ie: MIN Fuel, MIN Cost, MIN Time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Proudfoot 231 Posted December 12, 2018 Author Share Posted December 12, 2018 Stephen, Sorry to be thick but looking on the OFP tab I can't see the same info as you posted. I had tried Min Fuel, Min Time but the result was the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srcooke 421 Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 I can get your result using the minimum time option Ray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srcooke 421 Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Could plan using MIN Fuel, release the flight and print the OFP to PDF, then attach that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Proudfoot 231 Posted December 12, 2018 Author Share Posted December 12, 2018 Coming in to land then lunch. Will post within the hour. Thanks for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Proudfoot 231 Posted December 12, 2018 Author Share Posted December 12, 2018 You've got to laugh haven't you? Pretty sure I selected Min Fuel as well as Min Time this morning and got the same results. Replanned for 13:50Z departure now and I get FL430. That's better. Weird how it restricted me this morning though. BAW320 LFML-EGKK (12-Dec-2018) #1.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
