So I would like to ask you, PFPX designers, as a satisfied customer of this great software, for one piece of document with the complete format guides for the aircraft templates.Ī simple PDF file explaining what each and every data number there means would expedite the creative process and allow for many users to contribute to your software.
We have small bits of information scattered through many different topics and, still, lots of fields on the aircraft templates are still unkown to most people. However, searching the forum extensively, I have found that a lot of people have tryed to find the specifications of the aircraft template formats and have received very little input from the designers of PFPX, relying mostly on other customers to get information. so it would be unfair (to say the least) to expect any software to cover them all.įortunately, the flight simming community is extremely open to cooperation and we can see that lots of new aircraft templates, flight plan formats and other stuff have been made available through the users' efforts.ĭon't get me wrong, the developers of PFPX have done a tremendous job and I am a happy customer :-) We all know there are hundreds of aircraft types out there with thousands of variations in models, configurations, engines.
On the DC-10 I'll upload my old files, but I was also most ways through a new version with many more cruise speed schedules - will see about finishing that sometime.I believe most (if not all) of your customers would agree you have developed a very comprehensive tool for flight planning and I have become very pleased with the results. Which 777 are you flying and I'll take a look again? From my very limited experience RR engines burn about 3% more than their PW equivalents and are heavier, but again if it's a PW-based flight model.In such a case changing the aircraft details is a suitable way of covering different variants in the sim. To my mind there is no point in making a file for Roller engines if the flightmodel is based upon Pratts - I'd just wind up with a load of complaints about how my file differed from the sim (maybe there's a poll to be had there - how many simmers actually compare time and fuel used versus plan, and how many simmers actually use an OFP as it is used in the real world?). When I did the files on airlinerperformance they were based upon the flight models from the various developers, which are normally specific to one engine type, rather than the visual models which probably do cover all the engine manufacturers. I'm looking for the one with the RR Trent 800. Is it possible to make an American Airlines 777-200ER (N768AA) with RR Trent 800 engines? The one in the Airline Performance page is with the PW4090 engines.
