July 22, 201213 yr The other day I sent my log to the pfe developer because I was not getting descent instructions at and after my TD. Dave suggested pfe migth be stuck in climb mode. Since during my flight I kept asking for a new flight level dave suspected that might have triggered the "bug" and to try another flight without asking for new flight levels and so I did.It did the trick and i got my descent instructions. Today i tested again and i asked for new flight levels ( i basically entered a crz altitude in pf2000 before compiling and then during the flight i asked for a higher flight level.IE my crz altitude was 33000, i asked for 37000 which i got ). Result ? I did not get *any* descent instructions at and after the TD. Anyone care to test this themselves and report back ? It would be great Thanks Vic
July 22, 201213 yr Hello I will try this out if I get a chance tonight. What happens if after asking for a higher flight level and then not been given your decent at TOD, you then ask for a lower flight level, does PFE resume its decent instructions ?. Also do you find a different result if you adjust your levels in PFE after compiling, rather than in PF2000 ?.
July 22, 201213 yr Author What happens if after asking for a higher flight level and then not been given your decent at TOD, you then ask for a lower flight level, does PFE resume its decent instructions ?. Nope it didn't happen here at least. When I tested I got descent instructions only after the last waypoint and if i asked for vectors.If you don't ask for nothing when you get to the last waypoint you will be given the runway and all that.But if you are at 30k something feet... Also do you find a different result if you adjust your levels in PFE after compiling, rather than in PF2000 ?. No, I did not.
July 22, 201213 yr Sounds like Dave M. is on top of this then. That's great to hear. We may be seeing another patch forthcoming...
July 23, 201213 yr I doubt it, Dave hasn't patched PFE for over 2 years, he's not likely to start developing again now. Cheers, Andy.
July 24, 201213 yr It is really too bad that PFE won't have a future, as it is simply the best and most flexable ATC program out there at this moment. I'm still hoping that Dave will reconsider or pass the torch on to someone else. Jos
