Scheduled Division flights hours are out of sync.

Postby Thumper_KJFK AS.381 » 17 Feb 2016 13:35

Hi flight crew:
Maybe it is just me, but after further checking things in the AS Scheduled Division flights, I think this should be looked at. Go pick a flight and you will find that ether there is no flight time, or the flight time is over 24 hours. Looking at my plan book I notice all my long distance flights are tagged 24+ hours even though it will only take 12h to fly the flight. I just thought I would post this note. It really is not a big deal to grabbing a flight.

Thanks for looking into this. I have flown so many of these flights that my hand written log book reflects all the flight data that I need to set up a new flight. But others might find it not so easy to plan a flight with long hours, that really don't have very long hours, and shy away from flying those routes, or routes that have no flight duration data.

I have also noticed these discrepancies on some of the shorter haul flights that I like to fly, but what a massive task it would be to correct this for every flight that may have a time problem.
In my opinion the important thing is to set your sim at the displayed ETD.
Forgetting time zones, climb and descent profiles, vectors and the wife calling to take out the garbage, it is easy to work out how long the flight will take or how long you will be in front of the computer for.
Distance from A to B, 2000 nm, cruise speed around .78 Mach equals around 4.5 hrs before you can take out the garbage.

Cheers

Thanks guys. We'll get there, recently I had to fix the MD11 flights too. And it's actually an automated task, I just need to get the formulas correct. But this is a case of bad input data, and looks like the 777 speeds are corrupt. I'll look into this.
