Did he release this yet?

All been well within the next few days.

One thing we really need in the community is for someone to take over TOPCAT and continue it.  It really works great with PFPX.  I love it for the 738 and 744.

PFPX still does a lot more than Simbrief (which is nice); like the ability to change SID/STAR.  Having the TOPCAT data in the flight plan is really great.

What we'll need is PAX info that PMDG uses for ZFW calcs.  I know a lot of people say weight is weight, but it's really not if you want more correct data.  I'm sure we'll be able to figure out PAX and bags info easily enough, but it'd be nice to have that.

I was able to get a hold of Christian Grill via email not to long ago. I asked him for the source code to make profiles - which he offered to the community in one of his posts on the TOPCAT forum. Once I asked him for the code to make new profiles, he stopped responding. Another well known developer in the flight sim community that's friends with Christian tried to reach out to him as well and Christian ignored him too. Not sure why.
