Enjoy! ;-)

It's quite simple. You input them like this: Route in the FMC -> SID -> (After cruise and a few beers) STAR. You use the SID to link up to the first waypoint in the route, from the runway. Now, if you're not too confident with SIDs and STARs, you'd just select the SID that that PFPX told you to use. This works out fine 60% of the time. In other cases, the SID may NOT link up directly to the route, and something called a transition is used. This is where you need charts (or PLAN mode on the MFD, your choice). A transition is what helps you link up the SID to the first waypoint on your route, should the last waypoint of the SID and the first waypoint on your route be different. I'm sure you've seen it in the DEPP/ARR page of the FMC. For example, here are the RAXET departure procedures out of Mumbai for RW27 and RW32: Imagine we are flying out to Dubai. PFPX has told us to take RW27, and the RAXET1A SID out of Mumbai. The first waypoint on our actual route, however, is SAKUN. This means our SID does not end at the first waypoint in our route. PFPX does not tell us that we need a transition. We need to ascertain this for ourselves by checking the LEGS page, and the PLAN mode on the MFD, and by verifying the available transitions from charts. The OFP output by PFPX will show: RAXET1A SAKUN XYZ XYZ XYZ From there on, it's very simple. Select RW27, select RAXET1A and select the SAKUN transition. Congratulations, you've worked in conjunction with PFPX to head out to Dubai!

tbh I just check which terminal the real aircraft is departing from, and pick the gate of my choice at that terminal (using ground charts). Simple as. Works like a charm every time.

I've been using the T7 and PFPX for over a few hundred hours now, and haven't found a single waypoint missing. My AIRACs are always up to date. Here's the thing, you've got to make sure that the T7 and PFPX are on the same AIRAC cycle. If they are, you can expect smooth sailing. PFPX will export the route to the T7's FMC (without SIDs or STARs, mind you) and they'll play together no problem. Of course the OFP will not include the waypoints for the SIDs or STARs in detail, simply because that could change at any point in flight or on the ground due to the WX. Once you input the selected SID/STAR into the FMC, the waypoints will show on the FP in the T7's FMC.

That one does lower the image quality a bit, I've found..

Oh cool! Let me know if there are any you like in particular, I'll chuck em up on Imgur for ya.

You should do a standard SQ livery. Not many of those chucking about in good quality (with dirt, smudges, the works..)..

Thank you, William!

Huh, this is the first time I've heard of this problem. I've embedded them at their maximum resolution of 1920x1018.. Here's Imgur, let me know how this works so I can change my format up for the next album..

Thank you!

Just a few pictures of PMDG's 777, enjoy! -- A British Airways 77W loading up for the long flight to Tokyo - Into the sunset! - Dawn, on the way to Mumbai, I believe.. - Tail end of the monsoon season in India leads to some gnarly WX on arrival! - Another LHR gate picture, this time preparing to head out to IAD.. - This one's got some muscular arms, eh? :-P - A Qatari 77W awaits departure clearance out to Singapore's Changi International.. - FDX 77F loading up to head out to PANC from KIAD. - Different day, same airport. FDX 77F starting up @ KIAD - PAX grabbed a nice shot of the sunset as Qatari 6 heads out to LHR. - Great abs! :-D - Banking out of OTHH enroute LOWW. - Unloading @ Changi WSSS. - Outstanding livery by Steve Dra, in action @ EGKK - Bringing an EK aircraft home @ OMDB - Thanks for looking, I'll put up a 737 one in good time!

I do not understand what you mean by each leg of the flightplan... If I do LHR-JFK-LHR, I can plan for LHR-JFK to be at CI25 and JFK-LHR to be at CI45.. I don't think you can break it down further for your CI varying over your route.. I don't even think real airlines do that, do they?

Without a shadow of a doubt, PFPX is a product I'd recommend to ANYONE flying payware/complex stuff. Such a great tool, and it makes your life so much easier! PFPX allows you to customize your cruise CI/Speed for each flightplan.

Some random T7 shots over the last week or so.. Dreary KIAD.. Departing KIAD again, this time on a slightly better day.. Miserable fog at LOWW, doing the OTHH turn..

Gotcha, thanks!

Gotcha So, let me bother you with one more question.. simheaven city areas are all-inclusive, yes? OSM+ZL17 and edges of ZL16?

What!? How!? Man alive, that's heavy xD

And with that, I am now a proud owner of XPX on Steam! Whoop! How big was the complete DL for you, btw?

Evening chaps, Planning on picking up XPX on Steam, just wanted to know if the stuff I DL from the .org will still work and install the same way..? Also, will stuff like the FF 757 work? I'm quite confused as to how XPX is handling the addons now that we have Steam.. Thanks for your help, I look forward to enjoying XPX with y'all

Just one from the wing, as we scythe through the dawn sky..

Excellent shot! Is that Aerosoft's Night Enhancement or just default FTX Lights?

Which A320 model is that? Guessing JARDesigns, but I'd still like to double check

Great shots!

Thanks

Gee, thanks guys
