Maverick3333 0 Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Hi guys, I am using PFPX for years and I am really happy with the program, but I don't get really familar with the new version. Even like other people I never get a high cruise level. But what I got on this flight is really absurd and unrealistic: Flight from EGLL-BIKF with PMDG 777-300 (315Pax) (FPL-DLH2833-IN -B77W/H-SDE2E3FGHIJ3J5M1RWXYZ/LB2D1 -EGLL0845 -N0475F380 ULTIB T420 TNT UL28 PENIL UL10 CASEL/N0456F240 UL10 KELLY L10 SLYDA/N0447F220 L10 DUFFY/N0454F240 L10 BEL/N0444F230 DCT TOBMO/N0446F240 DCT BEN/N0475F380 DCT NINEX UP59 BALIX/M084F380 DCT 61N014W DCT ALDAN DCT NASBU NASB1H -BIKF0246 BIAR -PBN/A1B1C1D1L1O1S2T1 NAV/RNVD1E2A1 DOF/181224 REG/DK773 EET/EGPX0114 EGGX0131 BIRD0154 CODE/2905 RVR/75 RMK/NRP HAR TCAS ADSB -E/0440) The flightplan would let me fly FL380 and the I have to change to FL220 and then up to FL380 again. Can someone help what I did wrong during I filed the flightplan and what can we do that we get not strange Flight Level anymore. Maybe check ignore restriction? Many Thanks and Xmas Maverick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srcooke 422 Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Your route is via lower airways, what method did you use to find the route and with which optimization? Can you post a snapshot of your planning screen. This route was provided and validated straight off using MIN FUEL: (FPL-773ER-IN -B77W/H-SDE2E3FGHIJ3J5M1RWXYZ/LB2D1 -EGLL1010 -N0477F360 UMLAT T418 WELIN T420 TNT UN57 POL UN601 ABEVI UN590 GOW DCT BALIX/M084F360 DCT 61N015W DCT BREKI DCT BASLU BASL2H -BIKF0228 BIKR -PBN/A1B1C1D1L1O1S2T1 NAV/RNVD1E2A1 DOF/181224 REG/773ER EET/EGPX0036 EGGX0118 BIRD0143 RVR/75 RMK/NRP HAR TCAS ADSB -E/0348) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick3333 0 Posted December 24, 2018 Author Share Posted December 24, 2018 Hi srcooke, I planned like always. Min Fuel and then find route. This time I pressed Edit and selected upper airspace+min Fuel pressed apply and what I got was the result above. And also on B737 flights is the FL strange (see comments other users) Is there something what we have to change/press/insert since 2.03 ? It's really annoying to get such strange results I was more than happy with the old version, which was more useful for hobby flying online pilots. If there is no suggestion, is it possible to go back to the old PFPX version? Thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srcooke 422 Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Tested on another PC with a clean 2.03 install, updated Navigraph AIRAC 1813, David's PFPX RAD Restrictions and Directs ( required for planning in Europe and available in the download section of this forum ) The supplied PFPX 777-300 profile was used along with PFPX online weather: (FPL-B777ER-IN -B77W/H-SDE1FGHIJ1RWXYZ/LB1 -EGLL1205 -N0467F360 ULTIB T420 TNT UL28 RODOL UM65 TENSO L603 REMSI DCT GOMUP/M082F360 DCT 61N020W/M082F350 DCT CELLO/M082F340 DCT BASLU BASL2K -BIKF0233 BIKR -PBN/A1B1C1D1L1O1S1 NAV/RNVD1E2A1 DOF/181224 REG/B777ER EET/EGPX0044 EGGX0109 BIRD0158 RVR/75 PER/D -E/0337) Again this is a valid route achieved with MIN COST optimization. Are you using a third party a/c performance, if so where from. Which weather source is in use, are any options ticked in the advanced route finder.

Maverick3333 0 Posted December 24, 2018 Author Share Posted December 24, 2018 Thank you for your help, but I am to stupid for this. I will go back to the old version which worked like charming with P3D , PMDG Active sky 2016. This is what I filed again: N0474F380 ULTIB T420 TNT UL28 PENIL UL10 CASEL/N0452F240 UL10 KELLY L10 SLYDA/N0444F220 L10 DUFFY/N0452F240 L10 BEL/N0443F230 DCT TOBMO/N0445F240 DCT BEN/N0471F380 DCT NINEX UP59 BALIX/M084F380 DCT 61N014W DCT ALDAN DCT VM/M073F240 B1 OLNOS/M066F200 B1 METIL G3 NASBU NASB2K And I pressed Upper Airspace. Which Dispatcher files a flight plan from FL 380 to FL220 and back to FL 380. And what is this with Davids Restriction thing, without this download PFPX worked fine too. There are more people in the forum, who else is complaining about the flight level ?!! Bye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick3333 0 Posted December 25, 2018 Author Share Posted December 25, 2018 Hi, I fixed it , now its working. I deleted my Templates from 'airlineperformance' and used the PFPX one. I just changed the weights for PFPX and created a Performance.cfg for TopCat (https://www.avsim.com/forums/topic/417842-topcat-pfpx-737ngx-weights-how-to/) according to my PMDG B777-300 Layout (Swiss Texture PMDG). Also I downloaded the last David's PFPX RAD Restrictions and Directs This is the result and I am happy: -B77W/H-SDE1FGHIJ1RWXYZ/LB1 -EGLL1005 -N0478F380 ULTIB T420 TNT UL28 RODOL UM65 TENSO L603 REMSI DCT GOMUP/M084F380 DCT 61N020W/M084F370 DCT CELLO/M083F360 DCT BASLU BASL2M -BIKF0233 BIKR -PBN/A1B1C1D1L1O1S1 NAV/RNVD1E2A1 DOF/181225 REG/DK773 EET/EGPX0043 EGGX0109 BIRD0200 RVR/75 PER/D -E/0233) Thank you Merry Christmas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
