Brian, there is at least one european Freighter operator that uses that option .... with RR engines.

might be interesting to see on the performances side how is this one implemented ....

ETOPS is no more ETOPS it is called EROPS.

long time ago but when i dispatched 747 classic and -400 we had a 180 limits due to in board fire ... there is at least one operator that is using -400 with EROPs rules and that is also 180 min ... all the best. Phil

oh yes Robert is playing as I for sure .... i dont have FSX yet lol .... Why shooting the messenger ....???

i was right lol 747 classic the only one that mention it lol ..... forgot for fs9 .... more seriously the 747 classic will help to migrate to the FSX things ...

of course Rob an observation in that case is a good place ... glad we entertained you ... Phil

well i didnt see one number the 4 .... what about a 747 classic ????

try something around lemd you shoud have some egpws calls ....

those days are gone where i can send a pm to Rob and report to him what was wrong with his air files or the manual for the 744 ps1 had a page missing. those days are gone when you can drop to Jason an email about his 747sp between his studies and work at cvr. now they re busy and i do not think that forum is for that kind of discussion anymore the interweb went that far because of being anonymous that unless you met someone or chat over the phone there is no control. i do not participate that much anymore because i do not know who im talking with, plus i still didnt install fsx on a computer and fs9 still work enough for what im doing ... and 9/11 impacted too our real industry and of course simulation. enjoy all your day. Phil

Driver170, that is the data i recollect in any NG FFPM. if you prefer in lbs 25 for taxi per min and 225 lbs per hour for the apu on the ground. i do not know what are the values for the pmdg. Phil

hello, 15 kg min is the BOCO rule for the -800 plus the APU 105 kg per hour on the ground. hope this help. Phil

time for me maybe to move on P3 or fsx now ... good news. Phil

Jason, yourself was (and certainly still) a very good fan and creator in those days of a very nice 747sp .... all the best. Phil

Hello, i dont need someone to decipher what someone else wrote. the subject was about a performance tool nothing related to PFPX so it someone it bringing that subject im was questionning him not you, thanks for the clarification you made but its not helping me about his words. all the best. Phil

Michael, i dont know why this anger but PFPX is not doing any calculation on take off side ... anything to say about the T7 for PFPX .... all the best. Phil

Tood, that is correct but you re never showing that on the ATC plans at least at the time I was dispatching NATs flights. you can request for sure and the aircraft with FMS was very good to save fuel sometimes but not always accepted by the guys giving out clearance especially on a busy day ... i imagine its more easier today via the plane requests as they re doing on the Australian side ... all the best. Phil

Scandinavian 13 you nailed it. +1 people want accuracy, the best of real world but they have to understand how it works ... pilot is a job that long time before being a pro same as a dispatcher and now that those tools are available wont change those facts you need to work and read the manuals and do a lot of tries before being a virtual pro too. all the best. Phil

helllo, any chance you post your flightplan. if it s a transatlantic flight there is a fixed mach portion so whatever CI selected the fixed mach will be used over it ... all the best. Phil

i may add that is true that the datas used are not coming from PMDG FMS for sure but this is the same datas used by real ops to generate their own flightplans so yes we didnt dig into the PMDG FMS but im pretty sure there is no need to do that if you have access to some other datas. all the best. Phil

its available over here http://www.precisionmanuals.com/productcart/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=101&idcategory=14

they re really concern about flightplanning ... guess, what in part of their training for every machine they have to be qualified there is the flightplanning part as of course for the APTL ... when I was a flightdispatcher (those old days lol) with a briefing with the technical crew (pilots and engineer) and I can tell you they were listening and asking questions maybe there is some ops and pilots that don't give a dam but I guess there is still that are interested ... at least one because the sole author of PFPX is himself a pilot under a 320 ... what PFPX is about is the quality of the profiles made and as there is more and more hardcore simmers that don't have access to FPPM or other perfs manuals it s really helping a lot ... and the user friendly way ot use and operate it. it s a tool like it or not but a very good tool I wished I had when I was dispatching for real ... all the best. Phil

Bruno, quote it and came back in 20 years .... we all know how the story of the 747 was not as good at it seems before 73 the flight deck was not even sale for profit ... so we ll see and who knows what will happen in 20 about aviation and oil ...

CoolIP, not a problem Pierre is a friend and we're in the same team about PFPX ... there is already some requests on that and even Pierre but he doesn't have the time to everywhere as most of us too so i'm focusing for now on that profile. we'll see how it goes too and im pretty sure the results wont be that bas as I already made for FOC 2003 ... all the best.
