Note for PMDG 737 MSFS users

[srcooke]

In order for the Weather uplink function to work the exported route file should be in the format ICAOICAO only and not have the numeric suffix.

 

This is a change from previous PMDG products.

I suggest posting this in the forum sections for MSFS,

Additionally to the numeric suffix issue there are end-of-line tabs in the PFPX weather export that can prevent loading.

 

These can be removed by editing the file with Notepad++ and using the find and replace function:

 

 

Alternatively add the following Macro function to your notepad++ shortcuts.xml  Macro's section located \AppData\Roaming\Notepad++

 

        <Macro name="PFPX WX Trim" Ctrl="yes" Alt="no" Shift="no" Key="189">
            <Action type="3" message="1700" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam="" />
            <Action type="3" message="1601" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam="\t\r\n" />
            <Action type="3" message="1625" wParam="0" lParam="2" sParam="" />
            <Action type="3" message="1602" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam="\r\n" />
            <Action type="3" message="1702" wParam="0" lParam="768" sParam="" />
            <Action type="3" message="1701" wParam="0" lParam="1609" sParam="" />
        </Macro>

 

open the .wx file and run the macro from the menu or using CTRL -
