Post subject:  Big problem with PFE - Please help

Hi :)

I made a flightplan in France from LFLC to LFMD via the waypoints MEZIN, MTL, LUC, MUS (general heading about 135°) and flight level 130.

And I have some problems using PFE.

1- The centers Control/Information are Maastrich, Munich and Zurich :o . But where are LFLC Departure, Marseille control ... ??? I fly in France :lol:

2- At Waypoint "MEZIN", the control give me the instructions for fly heading 005 and say me that I'm about 108nm off the airway. Why ??? He's crazy the control !!!! At this moment I'm exactly on my flightplan following my GPS with PA :o

3- The control give me an altitude at FL90 instead FL130

Why I've these problems ? Wrong installation ? (I rebuilt pfe database first)

I made my flightplan as describe by the tutorial :
- Flight sim Commander
- FSX to save this flightplan to FSX format
- Proflight Emulator - FPlan Converter
- Proflight 2000 - Change altitude assigments and compile the flightplan
I run the 2.11.1 version of PFE


Here are the pf2000 - lflc to lfmd.gps

As a process of elimination please change your Windows Regional Settings to English, re-compile the ADV flight file, then try again.

Please let me know how you get on because PFE 'should' handle ALL regional settings but I am aware that some users have experienced issues in this area so it might need revisiting.

Thank you.

After change the Windows Regional Settings to English , I've a Runtime Error during the compilation (Proflight 2000)

On question : I purchased this addon on the Aerosoft Website. It's the version 2.10
But, after, the PFE automatic update install the 2.6 version.

There is a problem here, no? What is the real version downloadable on their site ? 2.1.0 or 2.10 ?

Don't see how you get from 2.10 to 2.6 but the latest supported version is 2.11.1.

If you can't update to 2.11.1 using the 'Check for Update' button please check the 'PFE Manual Installation Instructions' sticky post near the top of this forum

It's the problem. Aerosoft sell a version named 2.10 (on their readme) but the first time I launch PFE, the automatic update install the version number 2.6.0.

I think the Aerosoft version is not the 2.10 but 2.1.0 or someting like this ...

Maybe my problem is due to a wrong installation due to their readme (I installed the 2.11 only)

Post subject:  Re: Big problem with PFE - Please help

Aerosoft's version should be 2.10

Anyway, provided you are running 2.11.1 you are okay.

Now what error message are you getting from PF2000?

Post subject:  Re: Big problem with PFE - Please help

I've a new problem PF2000 give 2 TOD and 2 TOC

it made a flighplan :

TOD, TOD, MEZIN, MTL, TOC, TOC, LUC, MUS instead MEZIN, MTL, LUC, MUS.

At the end of the compilation it give an error : execution error type 13 incompatible

I don't understand nothing. I re install the soft again like this

Aerosoft version ---> Accumulative Update (to 2.10) ---> automatic update to 2.11

But a question, if Aerosoft sell the 2.10 version why your automatic update ( via PFE ) install the 2.6.0 version after the installation of the addon ???
I think the Aerosoft version is 2.1.0 in fact. It's not the same thing :)

I've solved the problem with the flightplan.

But always the problem with controls. Have you seen another problem with "pf2000-lflc to lfmd.brf" ?

Look at the LFLC altitude. MEZIN and LUC appear 2 times ...

Post subject:  Re: Big problem with PFE - Please help

This has to be a system related, possible regional settings, issue. I've just created a flight plan from LFLC to LFMD

[ img ]

As you can see there's no problem with LFLC altitude.

Also do not worry about the duplicated waypoints... that is not a problem... it's how PFE works
