ECON-2018

I haven't tried an Econ flight for a while.  I was watching a flight today to see if it posted correctly, but the flight didn't post at all, so obviously it would not be tallied.  Be sure that the message you're receiving is that the flight successfully posted (and you should see it appear on the "daily arrivals" on the main website.  I think that even if the flight fails as an Econ flight due to pax/cargo discrepancies, it should still register in your personal logbook but not under your company in on the official Econ page.

I'll do a test flight soon.  Not sure why it would suddenly stop working as I have made any changes to the code, but I'll look into it.

I did a test flight and the system worked as expected. If that was your flight earlier today, I'm guessing that the settings were not exact (correct pax and payload weights). The pax and payload listed on SPAACARS must be exactly as shown on the Econ flight assignment. If they are off even by one number it will reject the flight.

My flight today - although I took a loss of the flight, accurately gave me credit for the flight as completed on the Econ page and accurately recorded my loss on my balance sheet and my total revenue.

I can check the logs to see if it recorded your last flight and see if I can narrow it down further, but I think you are setting something up wrong (most likely pax and cargo values) that is keeping the flight from being accepted.

Chili, I don't see a flight today for you in the error log. I don't recall where in the process I have it write to the log, so I'm still thinking that it has to do with a setting that's incorrect. The flight you did yesterday is showing there, but I can't verify the data against any econ flight data because the flight assignments disappear every 12-hours. Note that flights showing in the error log don't necessarily mean an error occurred. It is just a forced log of all types of a flight ie. Econ so that I can review the data.

If you completed your flight today and it didn't register, I'm guessing that there was something wrong with the information you had set up in SPAACARS. You must look closely at the popup box after the SPAACARS pirep is sent. The box will tell you if it was or was not successful - and the boxes look similar. It might be possible that it's telling you that the pirep send failed for some reason and you just thought it said "successful" when it really said "Unsuccessful".

Guys,

For what it's worth, my Econ flights seem to be recording correctly on my Alak Airline balance sheet. I am, however, scrupulously careful about making sure that the passenger number and cargo weight fields in my completed SPAACARS flight plan page agree exactly with the numbers on the flight assignments page.
