123456678 0 Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Hello, I am in the process of creating an aircraft performance file for the A2A B377. I have created a single profile for climb, cruise, and descent (hold is just a placeholder for now) and plan to expand for multiple configurations. I have yet to get PFPX to compute a flight without getting "Error in performance file: Mode=Cruise, Weight=XXXX, Altitude=XXXX (always below 10,000), Fuel=XXXX" Any ideas? Thank you! PS: The formatting isn't as pretty when I copy and paste. I attached the individual file. ----------------------------------------------------- ; PFPX Aircraft Performance File Boeing 377-10-26 ; SOURCE BOEING PERFORMANCE DATA D-7582 [GENERAL] Author=LD Version=1.00 AircraftType=Boeing 377-10-26 EngineType=PW-R-4360-B6 AircraftTypeShort=B377-10-26 ATCDesignator=B377 NrOfEngines=4 PaxCapacity=72 Equipment=SFHZ Transponder=C PBN= NAV=CELESTIAL COM= DAT= RMK=VINTAGE RVR=550 WakeTurbulenceCategory=M MaximumAltitude=33000 MinLandingRunwayLength=5400 Units=LB EngineAntiIce=0 TotalAntiIce=0 TakeOffBurn=0 LandingBurn=0 TakeOffTime=0 LandingTime=0 MinWeight=83500 MaxWeight=147100 StandardClimbMode=0 StandardCruiseMode=0 StandardDescentMode=0 AlternateClimbMode=0 AlternateCruiseMode=0 AlternateDescentMode=0 [DEFAULT_DATA_KG] DOW=37875 MZFW=52526 MTOW=66678 MRW=66678 MLW=58377 FuelCapacity=19387 TaxiFuelPerMinute= APUBurnPerHour=0 [DEFAULT_DATA_LB] DOW=83500 MZFW=115800 MTOW=147000 MRW=147000 MLW=128700 FuelCapacity=46740 TaxiFuelPerMinute= APUBurnPerHour=0 [HOLD] WGT; 80000 15000; 4427 [/HOLD] [CLIMB.0] Name=4 Engines/2650 BHP [DATA] ISA; 90000 ; 100000 ; 110000 ; 120000 ; 130000 ; 140000 1000; 1; 63; 1; 1; 71; 2; 1; 80; 2; 1; 113; 2; 1; 219; 3; 1; 251; 3 2000; 1; 127; 3; 1; 143; 3; 1; 161; 4; 2; 205; 4; 2; 324; 5; 2; 365; 6 3000; 2; 191; 4; 2; 215; 5; 2; 244; 5; 2; 300; 6; 3; 430; 8; 3; 483; 9 4000; 2; 257; 6; 2; 289; 6; 2; 329; 7; 3; 397; 8; 4; 539; 10; 4; 606; 12 5000; 3; 323; 7; 3; 364; 8; 3; 415; 10; 4; 496; 10; 5; 649; 13; 5; 732; 15 6000; 3; 390; 9; 4; 440; 10; 4; 503; 12; 5; 596; 13; 6; 792; 16; 6; 862; 18 7000; 4; 458; 10; 4; 517; 12; 4; 592; 14; 5; 699; 15; 7; 876; 19; 8; 997; 22 8000; 4; 526; 12; 5; 594; 14; 5; 683; 16; 6; 804; 18; 7; 993; 22; 9; 1135; 26 9000; 5; 596; 14; 6; 673; 16; 6; 776; 19; 7; 910; 20; 8; 1111; 25; 10; 1277; 29 10000; 5; 666; 16; 6; 753; 18; 7; 870; 22; 8; 1019; 23; 9; 1232; 28; 11; 1423; 33 11000; 6; 737; 17; 7; 834; 20; 7; 966; 24; 9; 1130; 26; 10; 1354; 32; 13; 1574; 38 12000; 6; 809; 19; 8; 916; 23; 8; 1063; 27; 10; 1242; 29; 11; 1479; 35; 14; 1728; 42 13000; 7; 881; 21; 8; 998; 25; 9; 1162; 30; 11; 1357; 32; 13; 1605; 39; 15; 1886; 46 14000; 8; 955; 23; 9; 1082; 27; 10; 1263; 33; 12; 1474; 35; 14; 1734; 43; 17; 2049; 51 15000; 8; 1029; 25; 10; 1165; 30; 10; 1365; 36; 13; 1593; 38; 15; 1864; 47; 18; 2215; 56 16000; 9; 1104; 28; 11; 1253; 33; 11; 1469; 39; 14; 1713; 42; 16; 1997; 51; 20; 2385; 61 17000; 9; 1180; 30; 11; 1340; 35; 12; 1574; 43; 15; 1836; 45; 17; 2131; 55; 21; 2560; 66 18000; 10; 1256; 32; 12; 1427; 38; 13; 1681; 46; 16; 1961; 49; 18; 2268; 59; 23; 2738; 71 19000; 11; 1334; 34; 13; 1516; 41; 14; 1790; 49; 17; 2087; 52; 19; 2406; 64; 25; 2920; 77 20000; 11; 1412; 36; 14; 1606; 43; 14; 1900; 53; 18; 2216; 56; 20; 2547; 68; 26; 3106; 82 21000; 12; 1491; 39; 14; 1697; 46; 15; 2012; 57; 19; 2347; 60; 22; 2689; 73; 28; 3297; 88 22000; 12; 1571; 41; 15; 1789; 49; 16; 2125; 61; 20; 2479; 64; 23; 2834; 78; 30; 3491; 94 23000; 13; 1651; 44; 16; 1881; 52; 17; 2240; 64; 21; 2614; 68; 24; 2980; 83; 32; 3689; 100 24000; 14; 1733; 46; 17; 1975; 55; 18; 2357; 68; 22; 2751; 72; 25; 3129; 88; 33; 3892; 106 25000; 14; 1815; 49; 18; 2070; 59; 19; 2475; 93; 23; 2890; 77; 27; 3279; 93; 35; 4350; 112 [/DATA] [/CLIMB.0] [CRUISE.0] Name=2200 BHP FuelAdjust=0,0 SpeedAdjust=3,-3 OptAltAdjust=0,0 MaxAltAdjust=0,0 MinCruiseAlt=10000 [DATA] ISA; 80000 ; 90000 ; 100000 ; 110000 ; 120000 ; 130000 ; 140000 OPT; 25000 ; 25000 ; 25000 ; 25000 ; 25000 ; 23000 ; 21000 MAX; 33000 ; 33000 ; 33000 ; 33000 ; 33000 ; 33000 ; 33000 10000; 4451;275; 4471;272; 4443;270; 4464;268; 4500;266; 4441;262; 4448;259 15000; 4427;289; 4459;287; 4419;284; 4438;282; 4444;278; 4451;275; 4457;271 20000; 4392;302; 4410;299; 4416;295; 4434;293; 4440;289; 4419;284; 4397;279 25000; 4427;315; 4432;312; 4438;308; 4430;304; 4481;300; 4447;294; 4432;285 [/DATA] [/CRUISE.0] [DESCENT.0] Name=500 FPM/21^2 [DATA] ISA; 80000 1000; 2; 100; 9 2000; 4; 213; 18 3000; 6; 320; 27 4000; 8; 427; 35 5000; 10; 533; 44 6000; 12; 640; 53 7000; 14; 747; 62 8000; 16; 853; 71 9000; 18; 960; 80 10000; 20; 1067; 88 11000; 22; 1173; 97 12000; 24; 1280; 106 13000; 26; 1387; 115 14000; 28; 1493; 124 15000; 30; 1600; 133 16000; 32; 1707; 141 17000; 34; 1813; 150 18000; 36; 1920; 159 19000; 38; 2027; 168 20000; 40; 2133; 177 21000; 42; 2240; 186 22000; 44; 2347; 194 23000; 46; 2453; 203 24000; 48; 2560; 212 25000; 50; 2667; 221 [/DATA] [/DESCENT.0] ----------------------------------------------------- Sincerely, Lucas Dziesinski Boeing 377-10-26 Stratocruiser.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolP 24 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Can you try without the MinCruiseAlt=10000 line? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
123456678 0 Posted October 22, 2014 Author Share Posted October 22, 2014 Can you try without the MinCruiseAlt=10000 line? Thank you for your reply! I did try this earlier with no joy. I even tried modifying the descent profile to something of "lesser distance" as well as reducing the cruise profile to only one weight and still the error remains. I feel like I have exhausted all troubleshoot methods, as far as my knowledge goes, and I still cannot quite grasp the issue. Lucas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Hi Phil, thank you for your reply! I have used this thread and its associated notes to design my profile. However, my problem still remains. I believe an issue like this occurred with a PFPX profile at one point http://forum.aerosoft.com/index.php?/topic/72894-new-old-problem-with-hot-fix-1052/ . While the root was not the same, I am sure there is some similarities. Unfortunately they did not post how they resolved their issue.
