myAAS v2 Testing - AirSource Wide

[AS 2 Tom Little]

All - after talking with Joe he would like us to go AirSource wide for testing. I am going to open this forum to public view so we can have any member who wishes to test it able to do so now.

THanks again Joe and this is very exciting times!

Very exciting indeed... Excellent news and a huge step forward for us.

Thanks guys. Really, just looking at getting more flights in. Figured an open-beta would probably be best route (compared to a few more people now, then everyone else later). Don't think there should be any show-stopping problems (crosses fingers...again). Still have some things I want to do with it but, that can be taken care of with auto-update.

The one thing I'm part way through testing is a long refuel stop on a long flight. I'm currently flying my Op Hermes Bid from NZAA-EGLL and currently parked in Hong Kong mid-way through my flight. I'd planned to finish it tomorrow but alas I now have to work on my day off so not sure when I will get it done, next Saturday probably. I'm also recording it in MyAAS v1 offline so I have a backup because of how long this flight is. Fingers crossed there's no issues for me on such a long sector with a refueling stop.

Hopefully all goes well. The only problem I might see cropping up is with the flight points (not really a major show-stopper right now), but hopefully not.

Of course, you are using what would be the suggested way to do it. myAASv1 along-side (just in case of any problems).

FYI - Loaded up the second leg (VHHH-EGLL) of the flight this morning and currently flying it.

I used the flight with the (R) on it, refuelling. MyAASv2 asked me if I wanted to continue flying that flight, so answered yes, got the warning to remind me to start flying it, which I did.

MyAASv2 showed 50mins ground time remaining and started counting the time again from zero, so will be interesting to see what happens when I get to London and try to file it as to whether it will be 12 hours or 23 hours. I'll let you know.

I have MyAASv1 recording as well, just in case!

That was the intent of the re-fueling stop. It resets the ground time to 50. Basically you are flying a new flight with each leg. At the end it's all added together for the pirep.

Now that's a great feature, thanks for the explanation... I was a tad worried. Of course the only thing that looks funny is is the flight time on the AAS map.

Might have to have a look at keeping the online time correct. Thanks for pointing that out.

NPS... That's what Beta testing is all about and this was the one aspect I didn't test in the initial closed beta.

Joe,

First a question:

Is V2 saving data like every 5 minutes as V1 is?

Now a request:

I can never remember the suggested plane for flights, especially Bid Flights. Is there a way to display this in the future with V2?

Thanks!

Yes

I'll have to get with Tom and see if he can include that with the flight info. I agree, would be handy to have especially if you have a few flights booked.

Longest flight I have done with MyAASv2 - 23.1 hours.

It worked like a treat with the two legs and came up as such when I PIREP'd the flight.

I had great pleasure in deleting the local record for the data I'd recorded in MyAASv1.

The kiwis have arrived in London!

That's quite the flight Mark. Great to hear all went good.

Did the flight points record by chance??
