scalan 2 Posted October 2 Share Posted October 2 Hi, got an issue with winds aloft in PFPX. Last update was on 29SEP, since then nothing happens. Metars and TAFs are still updated. Server subscription is valid till 11NOV, has anyone run into the same problem? Thanks a lot for help Thomas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E Talley 1 Posted October 2 Share Posted October 2 Yes, but even METAR/TAF data is stale, my last update on the 28th. I have sent a support ticket (yesterday) to flightsimsoft without an answer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution srcooke 435 Posted October 2 Solution Share Posted October 2 PFPX was switched to a new server last weekend and will take a few days to resolve issues. The developer is aware. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The developer is aware. To your knowledge will we need to make changes on how PFPX receives the weather updates? I am guessing no, but thought I would ask anyways. Thanks!

srcooke 435 Posted October 5 Share Posted October 5 Nothing to change our end. Interim solutions are to use Activesky if that is an option to you or WX2PFPX which is free and I would recommend. NAT tracks can be copy/pasted in when PFPX is switched to manual mode. Hopefully the server issues will resolve shortly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the server issues will resolve shortly. Yes, I just happen to notice the issue myself today. I haven't created a flight plan in PFPX (or did a flight in the sim for that matter) in last 3 weeks. I was about to open a ticket about this issue but see based on the post, someone already did it and we're just waiting for a fix. WX2PFPX is what I use as backup.

srcooke 435 Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 @scalan , @E Talley , @raptor84 I suggest contacting FlightsimSoft if you have not already done so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyPrecisely 129 Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 If anyone cares, I use Active Sky WX data, works great for my flying: SWA route network. Awaiting server transition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t own Active Sky yet but if it’s working it would be worth considering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatman 9 Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 Hello guys, it seems that the link is correct and the weather is uploaded correctly. Should work for all now. Please login to display this image. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t own Active Sky yet but if it’s working it would be worth considering. I use PFPX (for more than ten years already!) only for flight calculations, METAR/TAF and NOTAM info. I use other sources for SIGWX maps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyPrecisely 129 Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 Looks like it doesn't work for me yet (I've deleted all the temp weather). I use an older PFPX version though (1.28.9i). Please login to display this image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatman 9 Posted Thursday at 08:30 AM Share Posted Thursday at 08:30 AM I just checked again, and weather is updated (along with Tracks). Please login to display this image. I use version 2.04 and I would recommend to update to this version. Unless there are some specific reason why not to. Please login to display this image.

With such a sophisticated piece of software I decided if it works, don't fix it. This older version worked perfectly for me. I'll update if necessary, thanks!
