Onelimey 1 Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 Hello All, Where can I modify the VATSIM Link for prefiling my flight plan? It is now just taking me to the Vatsim start page. Thanks Andreas J. Elesky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srcooke 422 Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 Hello Andreas, I don't believe the prefile link can be user modified. However you can simply copy the ATC route and use the 'Import ICAO FPL' function on the Vatsim prefile page. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAM016 0 Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Moin! Hat jemand eine Lösung gefunden, damit der ursprüngliche Weg wieder funktioniert? Ansonsten muss alles andere manuell eingegeben werden, das war vorher einfacher. thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle8901 0 Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Same issue here. Is there some way to get this working again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatman 8 Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 Kyle, I am afraid not (I would really like for the developer to update the link, if it is a quick fix). However, Stephen's workaround is very simple process (you need 3 more clicks only).

Only thing is that Fuel Endurance does not get uploaded automatically (in my case), so I have to type that one it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You only need add the endurance figure as the Vatsim FPL Import ignores the E/ reference in the PFPX flightplan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I saw it But there is no option to change the URL that the PFPX export to it for the Flight plan URL in Vatsim website? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developer Capt. PERO 398 Posted June 25, 2022 Developer Share Posted June 25, 2022 Is there a new link? We could do a local redirect that could solve this. But I need the new link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developer Capt. PERO 398 Posted June 25, 2022 Developer Share Posted June 25, 2022 Found it. But will be a lot work as even the parameter handover has been changed... https://my.vatsim.net/pilots/flightplan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PinkPony 6 Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 Easy workaround After you have selected in PFPX - Send -> Vatsim and the prefile page fails to load, simply replace the beginning of the prefile URL in your browser and refresh the page. Replaced https://www.vatsim.net/fp/ with https://cert.vatsim.net/fp/file.php For example: https://www.vatsim.net/fp/?1=I&2=BAW2063&3=H/B772................................... changed to https://cert.vatsim.net/fp/file.php?1=I&2=BAW2063&3=H/B772............... Enjoy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developer Capt. PERO 398 Posted June 26, 2022 Developer Share Posted June 26, 2022 Thanks @PinkPony If you guys are using Chrome you can add an Extention called "Requestly". OneRule is for free. It rewrites the URL so that the old PFPX Link is working without any manual changes. But never the less, would be great if PFPX would adjust this in the code and add the wake turbulance.

airbusitalia77 1 Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 hello guys, but there is no possibility that some developer can redo pfpx completely new? i.e. a new route planner. Thank you 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you This is a private opinion, not one of Aerosoft. At this moment I think it is very hard to compete with SimBrief. SimBrief used to be a very strong freeware tool that was bought by Navigraph. That made it even stronger. We decided not to sell PFPX any more because it was not actively developed anymore (yet it is still supported to some degree) and because SimBrief is simply a more customer attractive option right now. Now if you like me to offer an alternative for short VFR flights... Windy.com, the site we all love has a flightplanner plugin that is in regards to weather unbeatable.

Although I tend to agree with Mathijs to some degree as a new user of SB (had to do the move as I stared slowly using MSFS as well and the freeware Headwind A339 and there's no A339 profile for PFPX and most probably won't ever be. It takes a little time to get used to. There are however two things out of the box that I don't like about SB (but well... Its free, so it's more than superb for the price). One is that if I want to avoid certain airspaces, airways, etc, I have to write down manually thise everytime I plan a flight. I wish there was an option for example in user preferences for SB to avoid certain areas everytime I plan a flight, like PFPX does. One other thing I don't like about SB is that the map doesn't show the airway direction and if I plan a flight I can get to an airway in the opposite direction (of course I am talking about airways that only go into one direction). To avoid that, I have to open Navigraph Charts (thankfully I am a subscriber of Navigraph) to see if I am not going through a wrong way (that is, when I manually plan my route). And another thing that SB lacks in my opinion is that the map only has the option to show airways, not direct routes, nor the veetical limits of the airways. But then again, SB is completely free so all these "faults" are more than understandable. One thing I love about SB versus PFPX though, is that the airport database is simply amazing. I have the ORBX scenery for Jan Mayen (ENJA) which, being a solely military airbase with usability restrictions, doesn't have much information around the Internet, not even charts ir information on Navigraph Charts. Well... SB has ir and I can olan a flight to/from it out of the box. Same for ZUBD in China. If I want to olan a flight using thise airports (and maybe others) in PFPX I have to manually add the airport to the database (there are other examples also in China/Tibet). That is a great advantage for me that counteracts some if the faults/lacks of SB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As posted in this topic vatsim changed the server functions on their side, it is unlikely PFPX will be updated. The workaround posted by Captain Pero above broadly works.

Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51558 Posted October 1, 2022 Aerosoft Share Posted October 1, 2022 Gents, keep in mind that because the developers have stopped full support we have stopped selling this product. Unfortunately is is simple end of life. We simply do not expect any updates, nor support for new NDP datasets. Believe me, we wish it would be different as we seriously like PFPX.
