Thx Hopskip - I really appreciate the technical review of what is really happening here - you've given me some new direction. I should have said Vataware instead of Vatsim, sorry. :huh:

I've recently installed PFPX to do long range route planning for my PMDG T7 (previously used Vatsim for route legs and FSX's real (???) world weather. After apparent successful exports from PFPX, ie- to Microsoft FSX .pln, to PMDG Simulations .rt2, to PMDG Simulations B777 .rte and to PMDG Simulations Wind Uplink .wx, I've started-up FSX, loaded the T7, the route and then checked the winds at each route point - they are not even close to the PFPX route point winds ! In trying to figure this problem out, it appears FSX weather is interfering with PFPX downloads. I've tried ignoring the FSX weather selection, tried the User Input and tried FSX Real World Weather ; all gave me different winds but none close to PFPX's. Can anyone help? I love flying the T7 and would really like to benefit from PFPX's capability to adjust from great circle routes as a result of adverse or favourable winds. Thx.

Thx Glen - Will try this outDale

I have added 6 new liveries to PMDG's 747 and am getting untypical ATC a/c identification, eg - instead of hearing a normal "Air Canada 842 heavy" , I'm getting a "Boeing CFGHZ" a/c identification. I've contacted Paul at PMDG and believes this is due to limitations built into FSX atc identifications. He believes that someone within the avsim forum will have info on Add On ATC voice pack. Any help much appreciated.
