You're a Genius!

I like the corridor ;-)

Chris Kilroy


Gary Oliver

Most pleasing :-)

I am ready to remove the PSX.NET.Weather Module, Remove the Wind Uplink Bodge from BACARS and rewrite it to inject the PSX Dispatch Centre info direct into PSX as per your new model.

The best thing is this will be before Peter notices it doesn't work sometimes :-)....Most pleasing.....

That's looks really good. Thank you for implementing this feature, Hardy.

Will there be a gradual change (i.e. smooth transition) to the PSX standard atmosphere at the boundaries of the corridor?

Best regards,
Dirk

Hardy Heinlin

Smooth, of course.

As smooth as angel dust.

This new feature will be just great!
A question: will the corridor include also the routing to the planned alternates (enroute/destination etc)?

Thanks

The corridor includes whatever you enter. It's a new weather design tool, in addition to the existing tools. You can enter up to 200 corridor points, and up to 6 wind/OAT altitude records per point. Whenever the text cursor has not been moved for three seconds, PSX starts injecting the text data into the weather model. Everything in the model is smoothly interpolated in 3D space & time.

You can paste text from another source and then leave it as is.

You can paste text from another source and then edit the text.

You can generate text for the current FMC route and then edit the text.

You can write text from scratch.

You can write text from scratch and then edit the text.


Instead of clicking hundreds of buttons and edit fields, you have all controls in text form at your finger tips.

You can also copy the text in PSX and paste it into other programs for external paperwork or archives etc. PSX can write and read 4 different text formats that are used in popular flight planners.

Thanks Hardy for the exhaustive explanation,
it sounds wonderful!!
Also the random deviations are very appreciated

Hi Steve and all,

we discussed the 5-wind-records format whether it should have lat/lon values under each waypoint identifier.

I have this 5-wind-records format in 4 columns without lat/lon:

4000  000/004 +10



Some users of PFPX or Simbrief have posted examples without lat/lon values. So I want to keep those formats. Instead of replacing them by "with-lat/lon" variants, I want to add "with-lat/lon" variants. So there will be 6 instead of 4 formats:

• 4 records
• 5 records (3 columns) + lat/lon
• 5 records (3 columns)
• 5 records (4 columns) + lat/lon
• 5 records (4 columns)
• 6 records


Just to be sure, Steve, should the lat/lon values be added to the 4-column format as well? Or just to the 3-column format? You showed the lat/lon values in the 3-column format only. In that case I would add just one format, so that there are 5 formats in total:

• 4 records
• 5 records (3 columns) + lat/lon
• 5 records (3 columns)
• 5 records (4 columns)
• 6 records

Hardy,

I was going to confirm things with you ... since PFPX has now evolved into v2.xx.

Here are all of the possible wind data block permutations/outputs that PFPX can create in its current form.

I have  listed them from 1 thru to 6.

1, 2 & 3 being the ones I have used in my templates & 4 being a variation on 1 minus the LATLON coordinates. 

Number 5 is also an option that you might want to consider but I think that number 6 is in a format which is unusable.

From a Flight Plan template point of view I would want to keep things as realistic as possible but in the end its really as simple as just changing a small syntax line edit in a small file in a Dropbox file so its no work for me.

So the choices are really up to you now.

Thanks, Steve.

I conclude the "5 records in 4 columns" format that some users have posted here doesn't come from PFPX, and maybe never contains lat/lon data?

As for the new outputs #5 and #6: If these aren't so important I'll omit them. It's a lot of work. Maybe next year ...

Correct ... As I remember ... the "5 records in 4 columns" format was posted as being "LIDO Format".  I went on to explain that LIDO was a flight planning & flight dispatch provider & that they had no actual data format or output - formats & outputs are actually customer preferences. 

The "5 records in 4 columns" format cannot be created by PFPX.

Output #5 is used by some airlines (none of which I have created a template for) & I have never seen Output #6.

Happy to have helped.

Hi all,

unfortunately, the NG FMC upgrade (which contains the new weather tools discussed in this thread*) won't be finished this year. I need at least two more months. As so often, at the end, things get bigger than expected ...

Thank you all for your patience!


Regards,
