Just a "heads up" re TopCat if you do decide to purchase. I already use TOPCAT for some years now and coming from the same developer, I can only assume it is a good tool. The PFPX route generation functions can be used without defining a specific type of aircraft. However, PFPX would be perfectly suitable to build the FSX PLN files for import into CPS.For that, you do NOT need an aircraft performance template. As you know, the FSL Concorde already comes with many pages of pre-printed, pre-calculated nav and performance logs for those standard flights.įor non-standard routes and loads, I don't think any software (including PFPX) could come close to the functionality of Pierre's CPS in calculating fuel loading and distribution requirements - the fuel system in Concorde was so extraordinarily complex, and the CG shifts between subsonic and supersonic cruise so "unique", that only a purpose-built program like CPS could really do the job. Will a Concorde Template have to be built then?įrom the performance standpoint, I'm not sure how useful PFPX would really be for Concorde flights, because of the one-of-a-kind performance envelope that the aircraft flew under.įor the standard BA and AF service to and from KJFK, the aircraft always flew exactly the same route each and every day, and the passenger and fuel loads were probably very similar from one flight to the next as well. IF so, how would I incorporate PFPX to create a plan to use in CPS. Is this due to Pierre creating Concorde Perf. Hmm, in the video above showing the aircraft templates.
