LuisVargas 0 Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Hi, I am a Prepar3d v2 user and a newbie on AirbusX A318/319. I want to fly from EGKK to EHAM using the route 'CLN5P.CLN L620 REDFA.REDFA1A'. When I enter with SID CLN5P, CLN is always positioned after (T/C), as shown in the picture. So I need to move the CLN waypoint to the correct position between DAGGA and (T/C). Any tips? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubersu 23 Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 The T/C is computed and not part of the AIRAC, so your path is correct. Just fly the route and it should be fine as the aircraft gets it sorted. DJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emi 5161 Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 The route is correct. The (T/C) just indicates the position of your Top Of Climb is is not a waypoint in your route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tup61 185 Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 So I need to move the CLN waypoint to the correct position between DAGGA and (T/C). Any tips? I wonder why you say 'the correct position' would be between DAGGA en T/C? Is that because you might be using a flight planner that shows you the entire route with every waypoint? Like PFPX? The T/C is always an approximation. I create my plans with PFPX and it shows a T/C but 99 out of 100 times it's on another spot than the Airbus itself calculates. Furthermore, sometimes the Airbus's guess is closer to the actual T/C and sometimes the PFPX guess is closer but in the end the T/C always is somewhere else. So regard that T/C as a possible top of climb but don't bother about it too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuisVargas 0 Posted October 8, 2014 Author Share Posted October 8, 2014 I wonder why you say 'the correct position' would be between DAGGA en T/C? ... I will test as soon as possible if the flight will run normally. My concept of (T / C) is that at this point the aircraft should reach the cruising altitude. As I said, I am newbie on Airbus and the little experience I have with FMC comes from the Boeing 737NGX (PMDG) , hence my confusion and mistake. Thanks, guys.

Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51558 Posted October 8, 2014 Aerosoft Share Posted October 8, 2014 No problem! But we strongly advise you to fly the Step by Step one or two times to get acquainted with the quirks of the bus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuisVargas 0 Posted October 9, 2014 Author Share Posted October 9, 2014 ok, I entered with the whole flight plan and the flight was good from departure to 'almost good' at arrival. Every waypoint/altitude/speed in mcdu was obeyed. Interesting was that during the climb CLN waypoint retreated and stayed between DAGGA and (LIM). See image bellow. Well, time to diver into Vol6-StepbyStep-PT tutorial because I had problems on final approach. Thanks a lot, guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuisVargas 0 Posted October 9, 2014 Author Share Posted October 9, 2014 Does Flighsim Commander 9.5 exports the flight plan to Prepar3d v2 in AirbusX pln format? I intend to buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs mopperle 4162 Posted October 9, 2014 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted October 9, 2014 in this case P3D doesn't matter, as the Airbus flightplan format is independent of P3D and the files are stored outside P3D in the folder "...\mydocuments\Aerosoft\Airbus\FlightPlans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuisVargas 0 Posted October 9, 2014 Author Share Posted October 9, 2014 Sorry, but I still have doubt by the fact that there is an utility to convert the flight plans for AirbusX format. http://forum.simflight.com/topic/74196-fsc-flight-plan-file-for-fsx-converter-to-airbus-x-extended/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The FSCommander 9.5 exports into the Airbus format. Believe I'm using it by myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuisVargas 0 Posted October 10, 2014 Author Share Posted October 10, 2014 Ok, guys, thanks for the help. I have mentioned the AirbusX as the model that I have, although I have are the brand new A318 / 319. But I believe that FSC 9.5 should export the flight plans to these two also. I'll buy CSC 9.5 at the end of this month. Until there I will try to master how insert the flight plans manualy into the mcdu and there are so many things to learn. One more time, thanks a lot for all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs Tom A320 4915 Posted October 10, 2014 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted October 10, 2014 Just keep in mind, that the new A318/A319 use a different folder structure for the flight plans than the old AXE did. You might need to update your FSC accordingly. AXE: Documents\Aerosoft\AerosoftAirbusExtended\FlightPlans A318/A319: Documents\Aerosoft\Airbus\FlightPlans The reason for this new folder structure is, that from now on all new buses (A318/A319, the A320/A321 update to be released soon, and the A330 in development) will use this folders. So you will have one flightplan folder for all your busses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulvanuf 10 Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Perhaps not quite on topic, but can PFPX export flight plans for the new busses? I understand FSC can... Regards, Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acra24 83 Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 I am using a PFPX exported FP right now in a new A320 KFLL-SKBO in P3Dv2.4. It's fine. Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulvanuf 10 Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Thanks Andrew. Is this in PFPX 1.15? And... which format to use? Grz. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acra24 83 Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 I'm using v1.16. I export using the export window and browsing to my C:\users\...\documents\FSX or P3D Files. There is a bug in this version right now that means you cannot use IFR FPs until you have taken off. There is a workaround that involves removing a certain number of lines in the plan. I can forward a copy of this to you if you need it. Prego Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
