ECON-2018

Chili,

Not sure about the flight you listed in your forum post because I don't see it in Daily Arrival on main website page.  Your flight 610045 showing there from KDTL to KTVF as an Econ flight was not going to be an official Econ flight, as it has only 1 Pax and none of our official Econ flights have just one pax.  Remember you must change the pax number in SPAACARS to the correct pax number shown on the Econ flight schedule and then SPAACARS will auto calculate the cargo weight of the aircraft.  If the numbers don't exactly match the pax and cargo numbers on the Econ flight schedule, then you must adjust the total payload weight of your aircraft to account for the difference and restart SPAACARS.  By tweaking the weight of the payload for your aircraft, you can get the pax number and cargo weights showing on SPAACARS main page to match the values shown for the flight you are assigned on the Econ Schedule page.  Then you can ensure that the flight number also matches and Econ mode is set in the SPAACARS settings and start your flight.

The only way for me to check is before the flight listing changes on the Econ schedule page so I can verify your flight data against that listed flight on the Econ schedule page and see if the log shows data.  Also know that your Econ flight must be one of those listed on the current Econ Flight schedule on the official Econ page.   Just selecting an existing Econ flight number that is not currently listed as an active flight there will not be accepted as an official Econ flight, but it will show up in your personal flight log but not on your company page on the official Econ page.

For example, I can go to "Flight Schedules" (#6 in Pilot's Office) and select "Flight Schedule by Hub" and choose "Econ".  This gives me a whole list of Econ flight numbers that I can fly, but they are not going to show up on the official Econ page - only on your personal log.  Only by going to Econ-2018 link from the Main Menu and choosing "Flights" from the "Minneapolis-St. Paul Center" will you see the official Econ Flights currently available to assign yourself to and fly.  They also have the required pax and cargo data that must match in your SPAACARS pax and cargo field.

Also make sure that Econ Mode is checked in the SPAACARS setting menu. If for some reason that had been unchecked the flight will not register as official Econ flight. In your last post you mentioned that the flight did not register because you crashed. In Econ Mode, when your aircraft crashes, SPAACARS will auto-send the pirep almost immediately. If this did not happen then you may want to verify that Econ Mode is still checked as set in the settings menu of SPAACARS.

Chili,

I can't read your screenshots, so I don't know if I can help with that. However, since you have been chasing me in our "friendly competition", I have been watching your total earnings. At 8:43 pm PST on 1/19/23 ( 0443 Z 1/20/23) your balance stood at $1,070,258. Then, by 5:05 pm PST on 1/21/23 ( 0105 Z 1/22/23) it was $1,087,397. So you were credited with $17,139 of profit in that interval of somewhat less than 48 hours.

This morning at 9:54 am PST 1/22/23, it's still at $1,087,397. So, if you have completed a flight in that (16 hr 49 min.) interval, it has not been credited to your account. However, I don't see any flight by you in that interval on our Daily Flight Arrivals table. Looking at the entries in your logbook, I see that your last flight was logged on 1/20/23, so that is all consistent.
If you would like, I can keep an eye on your logged flights, earnings and booked profit to see if I detect a discrepancy.
Oh, by the way. Thanks for the competition you are providing, it's made me fly way more than I have for years.

I checked the log and it basically confirms what Mike observed - a profit of $17138.80 for that flight # 610221. 

Thanks Chili for the kind words.  We like having you fly with us as well.
