Error when reporting flight time was created by rll2002ar

Today I reported a sortie using SPAACARS from PAFA to PAVD (256 NM) with 3.5 hours of flight time. 758 7758166382PMDG 737-600 Alaska Air2025-09-16PAFAPAVD3.5134300-618.23MSP

Please be advised that the flight ttime of 3.5 hours is erroneous. Should not be over 45 minutes!!
I sent the PIREP without cheking the time. Sorry for that.
The fact is that I paused the simulation for a long while midflight ...... and it seems that SPAACARS clock keeps tiking while the sim is paused.
Next time the sim is paused, it would be better to send a manual PIREP:

Rafael,
You're right. The same thing happened to me a couple of weeks ago (see my post below "The wrong way to accumulate flight hours"). I brought it to John's (John Rogers, our Webmaster) attention and he said he would look into when he gets some time. Meanwhile, even if you are using SPAACARS, it is important to record your flight details before and after the flight so you can log the flight "manually" in the event SPAACARS yields inaccurate values.
I will change your logbook entry to show the flight at 0.8 hours.
