Hey everyone,

Don't know how many of you all have PFPX, but in their latest build (1.16), they have added a new feature that allows VAs to inject their flight schedules right into PFPX. Seems like a pretty useful feature. Do we have anyone looking into this for DVA?

It's a great tool Sergio. Definitely makes the planning part of the flight more realistic and accurate. The features list is pretty long. Check out their site for the full list.

I use it to plan all my flights. Essential. I think FS Commander does a lot of the same stuff, but I have no experience with FSC.

I used FSC and it was really good, but the PFPX actually takes my weather from Active Sky Next, uses the PMDG profile I have in there and sets up the flight seamlessley. Since PMDG is also very compatible, When I save the flight plan, I can import winds aloft and it is very accurate. What I am saying is the PFPX is so feature rich, it was worth every penny and makes overseas flight planning a snap.

I have the XML format. Since I haven't purchased the software, at some point soon I will export the schedule in this format and we'll see if it chokes on 12,000+ flights. smile

I am in the process of rewriting our maps code and our Javascript to be somewhat less nasty, but this is next on the list.

Thanks for the link!

The template works fine, although I honestly prefer the default template based on the information it provides.

I am still wondering about the actual SCHEDULE .xml file and if there is still an effort being made to make that available to import in PFPX. It would be SOOO cool to be able to pick DVA flights from within the database as opposed to entering all the info by hand each flight.

Not to nag, but any updates on this process?

It doesn't appear to have the departure/arrival times or the aircraft type. Is there any other documentation on the XML schema?

Luke, you shouldn't need the aircraft type as we allow you to fly anything that will work on the route. Not sure about the times tho..... On PFPX, you can select any aircraft you have set up to use on a flight.

I'm pretty sure getting the correct aircraft types for any practical purpose would require some significant maintenance to each of our PFPX aircraft databases anyway. Since we choose what planes we want to fly (presumably) based on what we already have in our databases, I feel like it wouldn't be worth the hassle.

I also personally don't care too much about the scheduled departure/arrival times, but that's just me...

Thanks again, Luke.

I still wouldn't mind the arrival/departure times. Does anyone know what the field names are? Once I have that I am good to go.

I'm not at home right now but I'm pretty sure they use "STD, "ETD," "STA," and "ETA" for scheduled/estimated time of departure/arrival. Is that what you are asking or is the "field name" a different (presumably more conplicated) thing?

-Noh

That's exactly it. I'll change the code and update the link above for someone to test.

Simply amazing, Thank you Luke! One question though will the routes update as the schedule changes on the website as well or will there need to be a update every so often.

Hello everyone,
I am hoping someone can help me. I have PFPX and cannot get the schedule to work correctly when imported. When I import the XML file into PFPX, I only get the scheduled flights for the current day and then 7 days later. I have tried to play with my PFPX filter to displays days in between, but I haven't been successful so far. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks
Ibra

Nothing. The schedule is updated daily so every day of the week, the schedule changes (although the overall database is outdated). Not all flights occur on every day of the week in the active schedules. All the historical schedule flights do occur every day of the week.

This doesn't seem to work anymore, when you click the link from Luke, I get OOPS


We cannot find the URL that you were looking for. Perhaps you were thinking of something else, or some other virtual airline?

Trying to download the file also fails and cannot do anything with it in PFPX?

Steve - Have you tried downloading the file from your Pilot Center? In the Flight Schedule section there is a PFPX Schedule link. Try that one.

Ah, that's got it, thanks Kevin. Do you know how you can export from PFPX to IXEG 733 format?
