FSACARS VATSIM issue

[Greg Gemelli]

Technical guru's.

I'm not familiar with this program but Ilan Maor uses it for all his flights. Recently he contacted my about an issue regarding his FSACARS submitted flights began not showing up as VATSIM flown flights. This started a couple of months back. I've never used FSACARS but my understanding is that it allows the pilot to indicate the flight is a VATSIM flown flight and this automatically awards the pilot with their online flight credit. Anyway this problem started 6 FREPs ago... I have corrected his time manually but wanted to check with all of you to see if this is a know issue or if any have had a similar problem before forwarding this to the web folks.

Cheers, G

I've been re-working the FSACARS interface to store all the flight data for competitions (i.e. softest landing).

I may have broken the VATSIM checkbox in the process.

I will look at it, but it could be 6 days or 6 months. In the mean time, he can always log into the website immediately after submitting his FSACARS report and edit his FREP with the Edit FREP button and check the VATSIM box.

Found the bug.
Fixing and testing will take more time.
Sorry for the bother.
I'll try to fix it in the next week or two.

Excellent Mike...thanks very much. Ilan's familiar with the manual edit option and that will be fine til there's time to get it fixed. Thanks again for the quick work.

WOW....That was the fastest 6 days/mos. I've seen in my life. You are magic boss! I guess that's why you get the BIG bucks.

Hi guys!
I've noticed the bug too late and I'm unable to edit these "old" flights, all flown on VATSIM:

MAR 08, 2015 CHART KDFW - KPHX
MAR 09, 2015 AA5519 KPHX - KTUS
MAR 11, 2015 AA5622 KTUS - KPHX

Can you do something to change these ?
Thanks!
Reagards, Max

The Boss™ is on a roll. Maybe you have a future in customer service if the day job doesn't work out Mike.
