...And Welcome to New EGLL Pilot

Welcome to Gianluca S. <img src="tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-winke.gif" alt="winke">.

If you haven't received any flight assignments yet Gianluca, feel free to fly any of the flights that interest you.

Let me know if you have any questions or problems.

No problem Gianluca, I can fix that time (and other errors that come along). I'm glad you're enjoying things here at SPA. Flight assignments are a manually done thing here at SPA and your Hub Mgr., Yoland, is very busy and it's possible he missed the email of membership. I forwarded another reminder to him, but in the mean time, yes - fly those flights that interest you. I believe that according to the rules you are supposed to fly plane category according to your rank (or one category higher when flying the non-assigned flights), yet there are many flights - and almost all the Bush/Special Ops stuff has plenty offerings for these aircraft.

As always, if you have questions just let me know - and I'll try and fix that pirep entry later this evening or tomorrow morning.

Gianluca,

Sorry about the SPAACARS issue. No - I've not tested this on Vista, but could possibly try it as I do have a vista system still. You might also try the older FSACARS program that is also free and available for download - just a bit more difficult to set up and doesn't like to accept fsx flight plans to auto-populate the fields with your flight data.

Assuming that you followed the instructions - pictorial tutorial listed under the main menu of our website under the "economics" section -&gt; SPAACARS Instructions:
www.stpaulairlines.com/index.php?module=...RS_Instructions.html

...and it still is not working - then it's likely a compatibility issue with Vista.

Regarding the flight time problem, it's been a long time since I've used the manual pirep entry, but I'm guessing that where it shows the entry format help as hhmm, make sure you're not inserting the ':' colon but just entering numbers as 1218 or 1306 and not 12:18 or 13:06. I'm guessing that it doesn't know how to handle the colon so it just stops trying and comes up with 12 and 13. The error checking on that old manual entry (and some new things) is kind of 'hit and miss' so this can sometime result in unexpected results.
