Add to cart Add to wish list The Ultimate Flight Simulator Flight Planning Tool! PFPX - Professional Flight Planner X - is a new and innovative flight planning tool developed by real-world pilots and dispatchers. It’s a valuable and realistic addition to your flight simulation experience enabling you to create professional quality flight plans similar to those used by real-world airlines. Take your simulation to the next level! A user-friendly interface helps to easily build flight plans in a few steps. Advanced options permit realistic flight planning with sophisticated features like Long Range (EROPS) and Re-Dispatch Planning.
The printable Flight Briefing Package includes real-time weather and wind charts as well as NOTAM, METAR and TAF reports. Planned routes can be exported to various add-ons like Airbus X Extended, PMDG 737 NGX, 747, MD 11 and Captain Sim 757/767. PFPX comes with a large aircraft database ranging from Airbus and Boeing types to smaller airplanes like Citation and Cirrus. An open source file format allows simple creation of new aircraft types. Regular navigation database updates are available for realistic route planning.
A sample Flight Briefing Package can be downloaded.
Hello all, Topcat is not going to be updated with the PMDG 777-300ER! Asked about this with Judith Blaschegg (FlightSimSoft.com) This is the awnser I got: Nov 14, 11:30 at the moment there are no plans to add the B777-300 to TOPCAT, the -200LR/freigher variant is already available (in beta) but adding a new aircraft type is very time consuming and for some aircraft there are no data available. Sorry to be not able to give you a positive answer. So for many years they have given us false information at their forum telling us that they where working on a profile for the 777-300ER! Does anybody know a good alternative takeoff performance calculator for the 777-300ER? It is, to be fair to them though, manually entering multiple performance variables that they have to calculate off graphs is pretty time consuming for a product update with no cost.
I understand this it takes time! But why did they told us for years they where working on a pmdg 777-300 profile? I can not speak for you Guy's but I am willing to pay a fair amount of money for a good 777-300ER profile!

Buying a program for the PMDG 777-300ER like Toper or a profile for Topcat working with PFPX is the same for me! TOPER for the 777 is supposed to be good. I don't have it but people in my VA recommended it. I understand Toper does not support Fixed derate calculation? Does anybody know if there is a good app for Ipad?
TOPER wont give you derates will it? Just assumed Temps Yes Toper 777 allow to use DTO-1 and DTO-2 along with the assumed temp just like Topcat does. However, a difference is that Toper reverts automatically with the assumed temp corresponding to the fixed derate chosen. It means that no matter what you choose (no derate, DTO-1 or DTO-2), Toper will revert with an assumed temp if the conditions allow it. It is the only thing I regret from Topcat, was the ability to 'choose' your takeoff speeds with or without assumed temp as in some circumstances, I would like to have a fixed derate without assumed temp.
TOPCAT team has a history with this, making promises they couldn't keep, changing their mind on important things last minute, opening up the platform, only to close it down even more, deleting and banning anyone who dared disagree with them on their forums etc. Topcat is a great product and apparently so is PFPX, but I decline to support this kind of behaviour anymore. Anyway, there was a good effort to do 777 performance calculator by the guys behind Q400 performance calculator - Aurasim - but there was not much heard from them lately, apart from being bought out by Airline2Sim (who might be aiming to get the perf calculator out with their planned 777 training course). Name Converter To Chinese. Wouldn't it have been just as easy to remove the offending post? I'm noticing a trend. See point 4 here: Addressing the question directly, consider this: We have the technology to selectively photograph people speeding down a highway, look up their info in various databases, and send them a citation. This method allows for automation to increase the amount of law breakers caught and punished many times over.
A single officer on a stretch of road can only pull one person over at a time, and that traffic stop takes time that cannot be used to cite other drivers. Still, in these areas, officers will visibly sit out on the side of a highway. Some claim this is to increase revenue (and in some areas, it certainly can be argued to be - see ), but in general, the very fact that the officer is out there and visibly citing offenders makes a point to passersby that the rules are not only present, but also enforced. Unless someone saw the post prior to it getting removed, then that person would have no knowledge of that principle and may consider doing the same. Making a comment in a thread like this is kinda like those blue lights on the side of the road: it makes a note that someone is watching, and that the rules should be kept in mind. A great deal of the time, there's a reason behind what I'm doing, particularly if I'm making note of the forum rules. Even if it doesn't make sense immediately, the best course of action is to assume there's some point to it, and move on (unless you feel I'm doing something improper, and an AVSIM Staff member should be contacted).

Well if I offended, I apologize. I'm not trying to do your job nor am I trying to undermine any established processes PMDG has set up in this forum. Once again, I misinterpreted your post and for that I yield.
I'll just stay away from these forums altogether and save anyone any grief.
