srcooke 439 Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 The PFPX server is online as weather/tracks are available, maybe a break in the data source feed for the sigmet.

sho69607 3 Posted September 1, 2020 Author Share Posted September 1, 2020 Same issue today. Skyvector is showing active sigmets all over but I dont see any in PFPX.

ahuimanu 36 Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 It might be the case that t his problem has returned... I see no sigmet/airmet data in PFPX.

Neepie 0 Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 There's been no SIGMET since 02nd March. There are also lots of airfields who's TAFs are stuck at 02MAR21. I've raised a ticket, but no response as yet. I really think just a simple reset of their server will fix it.

Have you received a response from the developer about the out of date FTs and missing SIGMETs? I've heard nothing.

Neepie 0 Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 It's such a shame that it's becoming so unreliable lately. I've put so much work into creating custom OFPs, routes, sub-routes, APM etc but it's all pointless without accurate weather.

Most of the weather issues of late have been due to problems on the NOAA servers and recent upgrades, this not only affects PFPX.

CS-TMT 11 Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Funny thing is that I was planning a humanitarian/repatriation flight that is right on the limits of the 787-8 with 83pax with no cargo (only baggage), around 17h40 flight time and just over 20h release fuel and it says that the forecast doesn't cover the entire flight time. I guess that I'll have to wait until the issue is solved so I can get more precise calculations (in the way it is right now I could still carry an astonishing extra amount of +46KG though ).

jpgmultimodal 61 Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Hi, I have the same results than everybody else (22/03 - 06h00) so we have to find a way out. You could enter the winds manually and you'll have the SIGMETs as well : https://en.vedur.is/weather/aviation/wafc/eur-wind-forecasts/#type=FL240 Of course there are many sites for different parts of the world but I use this one for EUR flights. By the way, the Grib with NOAA-GFS is updating correctly (2021-03-24 / 00h00) Regards, JP Link to comment https://forum.aerosoft.com/index.php?/topic/155591-no-sigmet-data/#findComment-1029680 Share on other sites More sharing options...

tcasclimb 0 Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 I know this isn't PFPX's fault but i really hope this program doesn't die like topcat has. It is my second favorite piece of software, only just narrowly beaten by ASP3D.

Neepie 0 Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 The least time consuming workaround for now is to create a route using PFPX and then copy and paste it into SimBrief to generate an OFP with accurate leg times and PBRN. The AirBerlin OFP format is probably the closest to the default PFPX template.

Neepie 0 Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Thinking about it... It's very strange not to receive a response for such a long time. I do hope that Judith and Christian are ok?
