ECON2018 Flights - PAX & Cargo Requirements

What simulator are you flying with?

Also note that SPAACARS will not let you exceed the pax count available based on you cargo wgt, so if you're trying to change the pax field, YOU MUST HIGHLIGHT THE OLD PAX NUMBER AND THEN TYPE THE NEW ONE SO THAT IT REPLACES THE CURRENT VALUE SIMULTANEOUSLY.

When you state that 'SPAACARS only lets you enter 1 pax or 7 and no other values' makes me think you're trying to change the number with the idea of deleting the extra character in the pax field as you edit it. You can't do that because, if you currently have '1' pax and position your curser before or after the '1' and enter '5', you end up with pax of '51' or '15' and the pax count will jump to the max value allowed by total payload wgt, in this case '7'. You must highlight the current value of '1', or whatever is in the pax field, and when it's highlighted, type in '5'. This replaces the '1' with a '5' without seeing the value as an invalid '51' or '15'.

Sorry if that issue is causing frustration - I'll try to remember to change how that works in future release. Let me know if the process described above works for you.

Thanks for your detailed description of the issue. It allows me to make changes to improve the program from a 'users' perspective other than just my own. I take such things for granted only because I know the internal workings of the program, whereas other users without that knowledge can encounter frustrations I didn't consider. That issue can easily be corrected to make the validity-check upon exiting that pax field rather than on the value changing, but I think my concern was that pilots might leave the cursor in that field and then go fly, causing the validity check not to occur. I'll have to play around with it a bit when I next take a look at it to see if about an alternate way to guarantee the validity check.

Sorry Jim,

I'm certain its a bug with the display again since my latest adjustment. Let me look into that because your flight looks fine.<img src="tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-wallbash.gif" alt="wallbash">

Jim,

Should be fixed now.
