Is the information interesting for other users, too?

Hello srcooke - I'm in the same boat as OP! I had to format Windows and now I can't activate either PFPX or Topcat. I also can't PM you because my account is too new... XD

 

Any help would be appreciated. 

 

Thanks.

I too, am having an issue activating PFPX and TOPCAT!

Same as OP.

New PC purchased and unable to download PFPX or validate TOPCAT.

Kind regards

Hi

 

I didn't get any response from flightsimsoft. I'm unsure if they will reply tbh. It's unfair they shut their site without given a alternative site to just download and active software we have purchased.

Hello everyone,
It's the same for me. I can't access their website to buy a new key.
What can we do? I need PFPX to make my home cockpit work.
Kind regards,
ARF7415

The online server remains functional at this time including the ability to activate the program.

 

For those with lost keys or seeking subscription renewal then I'm afraid it requires a response from Flightsimsoft.

 

You can continue to use PFPX using external weather sources ActiveSky or WX2PFPX  , Tracks can be copy/pasted from FAA sites NAT and Predifined Queries for PACOTS  having switched the track mode to manual.

Le serveur en ligne reste fonctionnel pour le moment, y compris la possibilité d'activer le programme.

 

Pour ceux qui ont perdu leurs clés ou qui cherchent à renouveler leur abonnement, je crains que cela nécessite une réponse de Flightsimsoft.

 

Vous pouvez continuer à utiliser PFPX en utilisant des sources météo externes ActiveSky ou WX2PFPX   . Les pistes peuvent être copiées/collées à partir des sites FAA NAT  et des requêtes prédéfinies  pour PACOTS après avoir basculé le mode de piste en manuel.

Hello again, thanks already for your response, that's very kind. Then, how do I do it if I switch the route mode to manual?
Let's say I want to fly from Paris to Nice, what do I need to do?

For the example you would only require the weather, from the WX icon on the status bar setup the path to the "current_weather_snapshot" of ActiveSky or the WX2PFPX output location ( it generates the same file format as ActiveSky). Switch to ActiveSky mode and the currently generated file will be loaded.

Okay, actually, I just understood. Correct me if I’m wrong, the NATs are the NOTAMs? Can we find them on websites?

[srcooke 439]

NATs are the Atlantic oceanic tracks, those and Pacific tracks are linked in my post above.

 

NOTAM's would have to be sourced externally, again the FAA site linked can be searched for those.

Les NAT sont les pistes océaniques de l'Atlantique, celles-ci et les pistes du Pacifique sont liées dans mon article ci-dessus.

 

Les NOTAM devraient provenir de sources externes, encore une fois, le site de la FAA lié peut être recherché pour ceux-ci.

Thanks anyway for all this information, it has really helped me.

 

Kind regards,

Seems like the flightsimsoft isn't coming back anytime soon. My server subscription ended a couple of months ago and when I went to renew the site was down. Trying to make do with WX2PFPX in the meantime. Hopefully I can renew soon as its not quite the same.

[FlyPrecisely 129]

Is there any chance to buy a new subscription code?

[Torben Andersen 16]

I'm also trying to instal PFPX on a new(er) computer, but can't find the activation key email. It is installed on my old computer. Can the key be extracted from my computer's registration files?

 

Torben

[srcooke 439]

Hello Torben,

 

I do not believe the registration details are located in the general PFPX registry locations and could not suggest where they are. They may even be generated locally to lock to hardware.

 

The activation server is certainly still available but obviusly requires the key, I can only suggest contacting FlightsimSoft directly.

[Liam Sutherland 2]

Has there been any more development on this? My server subscription ran out a few days ago and want to renew also. I have emailed support. Has anyone been able to get a reply? I emailed support@flightsimsoft.com

I have found a solution for those looking to renew server subscription.

 

https://flightsimsoft.dpdcart.com/

 

Not sure how much longer this will be up for so I'd get in quick.

 

I imagine the developer will eventually shut down the online server for good. Would be great if at that time those that wished to continue using online services could somehow contribute cost to keep a basic server running for this data.

I certainly would be keen to contribute significantly to keep this service running.

 

Be good to gauge interest on this as just getting Active Sky data fed into PFPX results in data like SIGMET, NOTAM, Multiple Forecasts etc being left out.

For those that have lost their product key, you can retrieve it at the below link providing PFPX was purchased after Jan 1st 2013.
