Does it update changed ILS idents as well as VORs and runway designations all in one go?

Yes, a simple install will "update en route navigational aids (VORs, NDBs), airport data (airport names, ILSs, markers, runway identifiers, terminal NDBs, runway/approach lighting systems, PAPI/VASI and COM frequencies), airways, en route and terminal intersections in selectable world areas (worldwide coverage)"

It would have been useful if you'd mentioned that

More to the point it would have been useful to know that AS scans the scenery rather than using the database either supplied or updated.

The P3Dv5 update package is available upon request from Herve and updates with a simple installer: https://www.aero.sors.fr/navaids3.html

Using AIE by Herve Sors I edited it and changed 03 to 02

I update the sim using Herve's navaid updates, hence all runways and navaids are updated per airac.

Runway numbers are contained in WPNAVAPT.txt:

HUMBERTO DELGADO        LPPT02 12162025 38.766428  -9.143903109.1002500355
HUMBERTO DELGADO        LPPT20 12162205 38.792331  -9.130047109.5020500355

What do you get if you start ASP3D and don't load a plan? Just enter LPPT and see what it says

Runways in use 02

Check your Navdata path is installing to: \HiFi\ASP3D\NavigraphData\AS

Having uploaded an LPPT-LPPD plan the briefing indicates 'Expect runway 02', same on the conditions tab.

Does the PFPX weather service support historic weather? That's what I use for pretty much all my flights (especially long-hauls)

No, for that you would need ActiveSky

Are you suggesting W2PFPX instead of ActiveSky if not using hte PFPX server, Stephen?

That is correct, personally I use the PFPX online services.

EDITED original post.

I'll admit I never used their weather server after the trial for that expired, saw no point when I had ActiveSky to patch in

The online weather will give you forecasts over time, missing in the implemetation for external weather engines, fine for shorter flights.

For Oceanics and longer flights consider W2PFPX , still without forecast over time but enhanced accuracy.

Aivlasoft EFB has been withdrawn with immediate effect and all support will end 30th June

Project "AivlaSoft" has to be ceased

Maybe related to the current NOAA issues with stale data from 16th

It looks like Track W is not part of the Track Definition Message (TDM), hence PFPX will not recognize it.

With my best regards

Palle

It was at the time the OP tried to copy the route into PFPX as depicted in his image:

W RAFIN 45/50 48/40 51/30 53/20 MALOT GISTI
EAST LVLS 340 350 360 370 380 390 400
WEST LVLS NIL
EUR RTS EAST NIL
NAR N59C N53D-

However the outdated Simbrief route waypoints (entry/exit) of track W did not match the current hence PFPX could not resolve it.

FMC's dont recognize NATW for example. You will have to enter every way-point from the beginning to the end of the NAT in the fmc. Remember the NAT's change daily based on the winds.

 

The OP is reffering to PFPX but the route he is pasting from Simbrief is outdated so PFPX cannot resolve it.

Are you using a suggested Simbrief route or planning new?

Track U enters at PORTI and not RAFIN, it exits at NETKI so does not match the route you are trying to enter with current NAT.

I believe it does not generate preferred ATC routes (at least in the US)?

Not directly but a large number can be imported using Route Translator Spreadsheets posted in the download section of the Aerosoft forum.

How do you modify the OFP layout?

Take a look at an existing format and use the Template Guide to create/modify as required. You may find a format to your requirements in the Aerosoft forum downloads section.

PFPX is still available for purchase directly at FlightsimSoft 

The ability to create and auto-route Free Route Airspace directs, activate/enable restricted airspace to automatically avoid in routing, create and auto-route users sub-routes are just some of the functions I cannot find yet in Simbrief.

Apparently if you have EA enabled there's no benefit to having ASCA installed

That will depend upon whether you are using volumetric clouds or not, without then asca will be used with enhanced atmospherics.

No issues printing here with v2.7.0.0 release on WIN10 and HP deskjet, also tested print to PDF without problem.

Yes, I've been experiencing the same problem with NOAA weather not working. It seems to be a widespread issue affecting users globally. Hopefully, it gets resolved soon!

Using 2.7.0.0 Beta 7G3b or later ?

NOAA working fine here.

I'm on the latest beta (M)

Latest is beta version is 'N' which appears to have resolved freq issues here.

You should try Herve Sors 'Airport Inspector and Editor' Ray, it is far quicker and easier for such tasks.

One question. Does Dry Operating Weight include crew + aircraft with no fuel?

Yes in PFPX it does.

Are you using the Learjet 25 file that you sent me some time ago Ray ? If so you are using adjusted figures ?

Using that file and PFPX online weather at FL400, a flightplan distance of 916nm returns a trip burn of 3534lbs.

If you email me all the data that you have for the learjet plus your PFPX aircraft type performance file and the aircraft registration file you have in use I''l take a look.

No issues here, goto aircraft of choice.

This fix works:
