But sadly I can't, because of lacking profiles. I have the ToLiss Airbus A321, A340 and FFA A359 and I would love nothing more that to use TOPCAT for each and every of those planes, even though they have their own calculators, simply because the fantastic integration with PFPX. The inability of the community to create performance profiles for the program. The direct integration with PFPX and the detailed info about seating arrangements, weight distribution and likewise, is second to none.īut, herein also is the longevity issue with TOPCAT. I, unfortunately, have only been able to use TOPCAT on one plane, the X Plane 11 Zibo Boeing 737, but boy, does it shine. I can certainly understand if TOPCAT is written in an old language, that it may be more cumbersome to update it and that it could possible really need a port to a more recent codebase (it is hard to speculate about without knowing the language it was written in). As I see it, it is here the issue lies with TOPCAT. Yes, PFPX has some quirks and some bugs, that would be nice to get fixed, but the program works as intended and more importantly, it's longevity is ensured by the community itself to be able to make aircraft profiles, OFP templates and add airport information to the program. When I look at TOPCAT and PFPX, my main concern is longevity. I couldn't imagine doing flights without PFPX, even though I need to do a bit more hoops and jumps to get it too Vatsim/IVAO. While priorities in life shifted for you guys a couple of years ago, I still am hoping there is a slight chance, development will not completely seize and that one day we might see PFPX v3 which I will gladly pay for.įor now, let me thank you again and wish you all the best in your future endeavors.ĭespite giving my unfiltered opinion about the replies I got regarding TOPCAT from Judith on mail in several of my streams, I would still like to express my thanks for providing the community with two fantastic products. His expertise and his willingness to help others are greatly appreciated. When I once had to open a support ticket, I was replied to by Christian in a matter of hours and my issue was dealt with swiftly.Īlso, kudos to Stephen and his tireless support here in the forum. As a customer that's something you should never take for granted!ĭespite its quirks and flaws here and there PFPX still is a magnificent piece of software that enabled me to have a more realistic approach to my flight simulation hobby and made my life as a simmer pretty comfortable. I still think the release of v2, completely FREE of charge to existing customers, was a very kind and generous move towards your user base.

As a long time user of PFPX I would like to take the opportunity to thank you for all those years of commitment and engagement to both your customers and your program.
