With Super Flight Planner 4.0.5, importing and exporting flight plans triggers a cc3260.dll not found error. [...]
I have succesfully restored Super Flight Planner Download link. You no longer need to search the WEB as you can get setup package straight from here. Enjoy.
Guys,
as AVSIM site has been hacked, there is no more way to download Super Flight Planner - at least until when and if they repair the damage - however SFP 4.0.5 is also available on flightsim.com. Note that you have to create an account and login to access the file library and that a Subscription membership is applied there so that you might have to wait a bit to log-in as subscribing members are favorited. I'll also look for other sites next week.
I have decided to delay new SFP release a few days (please allow to 3 or 4 weeks maximum). This is due to a new feature I'm starting to implement but which is very important for fuel saving, that's the constant computing of optimal altitude during a FSUIPC session (you may use it in order to know when it's time for a step climb). For each aircraft, the user can define a climb step profile and SFP will interpolate optimal and maximum flight level from it.
That will take some day more to implement but will add the chance to optimize the fuel consumption expecially when used in couple with the already existing fuel predictor.
Cheers to all meantime...
I'm pleased to announce that latest Super Flight Planner 4 release will be available starting Sunday Night (GMT +2). It's been a long time of testing and hard coding; beware it still has bugs and limitations left, which will be detailed in the hystory file. I'll write down some kind of docs about the new IPC system tomorrow (despite the bugs left this is now the most robust code section and you absolutely have to experience it), and then release. Also be aware that there will be very few updates to SFP 4 family from now on, just because I've started to write Super Flight Planner 5: this features a complete code rewrite, with porting from Object Pascal to C/C++ - the good new is that I can rely on a very robust and performant foundation library and C is my primary language... Here is a few details of the new features that will be available and which I'm already working on: - Powered by Microsoft Virtual Earth. All the power of Virtual Earth available, including 3D views.
- New flight plan engine with auto computed airways and/or direct-to flight plans
- Climb steps profile
- Realistic aircraft support, with importing from FS planes included: this works through a gauge which when activated into an aircraft, logs all the parameters to a log file and then extrapolate the contents to an aircraft data file ready for use with SFP.
- NAT and PACOTS support: this is also currently in progress with SFP 4
- AI Traffic display on the MS Virtual Earth Map: this is also in progress with SFP 4
- Full X-Plane support, if possible with IPC link
As we may see, there are already several foundaments to produce the Flight Planner of the future. Meantime I will keep to maintain SFP4, although not as often as before. Ciao, Alex.
