Patrizio 1 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Hi at this moment (11:49Z) i'm trying to plan a flight from LFPG to KJFK, but the fp not follow the actual real tracks (see the jpg). My route preferences are all rights. Please, help me! I bought this program to perform real flights! Thanks in advance Patrizio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srcooke 422 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Hello Patrizio, There is no requirement to follow NAT as you'll see from posts elsewhere in the forum. PFPX is calculating the shortest route but if you wish you could use ' AUTO SUNOT AUTO ' to compute a plan using NAT-F in this case. Just use the NAT entry point of choice.

Patrizio 1 Posted January 22, 2014 Author Share Posted January 22, 2014 Thnks Stefan! Ok about tracks, but PFPX create the shortest route even with strong headwind ?? Mah... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srcooke 422 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Use 'advanced' find feature and select Wind Optimised Route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torben Andersen 15 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Hi Patrizio Sound weird. I think you may have done something wrong. I get a wind optimized route following track E using Auto. See attached. Torben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrizio 1 Posted January 23, 2014 Author Share Posted January 23, 2014 Thanks Torben i tried few minutes ago, nothing...ignore tracks unchecked, wind opt checked, route planned out of tracks. Patrizio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srcooke 422 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 The wind optimised route will take you off the tracks this morning. Deselecting 'wind optimised' puts me on track Echo at this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjratchf 4 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I can't even get PFPX to load westbound tracks. The option is greyed out, and only eastbound tracks can be displayed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chkl 34 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I can't even get PFPX to load westbound tracks. The option is greyed out, and only eastbound tracks can be displayed That's because NAT is only one way at a time. Right now traffic is coming from the west to east, America to Europe and they are all using NATS. In a few hours the NATS will change to be active from east to west when the bulk of traffic is going west bound from Europe to America. Right now if you are planning a route west bound you would want to select the wind optimized find route option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

srcooke 422 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 If you look at the Atlantic winds Clive you'll see it's not that strange, the number of available tracks will depend on the weather conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
