Twice now I have flown to the destination, parked the plane, and the flight has reset on the ACARS. it acknowledges for a second that I've arrived, and then goes to taxi for destination. Am I doing something wrong. I set the parking brake, and almost immediately the flight resets. The administrator shows the flight open and not flown. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I had exactly the same issue with 1.5.1, but just once. I remember that, contrary to my usual habits, I had the Administrator open during that flight. Can you post some details about the flight (which airplane, airport, airport scenery, gate?). Do you have the Administrator running during the flight or not?
Cheers,
Peter

The first one was from Baltimore to a small regional airport. The second one was from Columbus OH to Ross county. I did another short charter flight and it scored that one, so I will keep an eye on it. Seems like has happened on at least one other occasion. I had the administrator running on my desktop on flights that have reset, and the one that didn't. I will keep an eye on it closely next time and see if I can get more details. Was just wondering if this has happened to anyone else , and if they figured out what it might be. I just started using FSX again, and have only been using FSCaptain for a few days, so it could be something I'm doing, not sure.

akrobby,
Please email me & Dutch ADMIN and FCDU log files from some of these flights.
If they do not contain anything helpful in diagnosing the issue, I will endeavor to include something in a future build that would hopefully be of use.
Until then, try not running the Administrator during a flight and lets see if things act differently. There's no need to run the Administrator while you're flying, btw... just the ACARS.

I will see what the logs say. I don't know that they are there, as the one has me canceling the flight, because I was already at the destination. I will check tonight and see if there is anything in the logs. Thanks for getting back on this. I'm enjoying it so far after a few days, and some short flights. Hoping to get some more time to do some longer flights. Not enough hours in the day!!!!

That's okay, but if you email us your logs (you can ZIP and email all of them!) we might be able to spot a change in how things are being recorded. I'm fairly good at recognizing patterns, so if there's anything present in your logs, I'm sure we can find it... or think of something else to add so a future build may spot something....  |

I'm pretty sure the culprit was having the administrator opened on the desktop. When it did it tonight after I sent you the logs I checked, and sure enough it was opened on DT. Did another flight, made sure it was closed, and presto, got my first "A" score. I feel sorry for the poor bastages on my first few flights though. They couldn't have enjoyed those rides. Probably wasn't the worst thing that those flights never were officially recorded.
On a side note what got me started on FSX again was a short hop from Anchorage to Kenai ,IRL, the other day. We were on one the Beechcraft 1900s and I was able to watch the pilots and see out the front window. Since Dutch does a lot of his flying in Alaska, I thought he might appreciate that. I used to have FSPax on my old machine, but it wouldn't work on my current windows 8.1 machine. I was able to find FSCaptain, but it took some searching to find. Glad I found it. Thanks for the help.

I've noted this for study after Beta 4 is released. I have a hunch what might be happening, and will pop an idea or two over to Dutch to see what he thinks. What got me interested in FSX back in '09 was my decision to not renew my PPL. I wanted to fly, but with work and everything I decided I would shelve FS9 and give FSX a shot. For the first year I flew Skyhawks as that was what I was accustomed to. Then I "graduated" to the Caravan, and after a short Air Hauler career, I stumbled across a post about FSCaptain on Avsim. I admired Dutch's confidence in offering an "unlimited time trial" from the three PNW airports, plus his careful attention to "it won't affect your Flight Sim installation - if you don't like it, it's easily removable." Then he must have gotten really bored because he started listening to my suggestions. Now you're stuck with me.  |

It happened again this evening, and the administrator wasn't opened on the desktop. Please let me know if you have any ideas. Sent you an email with the logs.

We have your logs and are reviewing them for possible issues. I currently have three possible attack vectors to take on this....
If you still have these problems with 1.5.1 Beta, please send us the new logs.

Just sent the new logs. I've been either traveling, or crazy busy since my last update to you guys. I did a 2 hour flight tonight, and as soon as I set the parking brake at the destination, the ACARS reset as if I was still at the departure airport. Should I uninstall and reinstall at this point. It would be cool to actually get a score for my crappy piloting. I made sure the administrator was not running on the desktop. After the reset I looked at the flight logs in the dispatch (without exiting FSX) and the flight shows open. Let me know what you think I should do. I will have to test some different planes next time, I haven't been tracking that. The plane tonight was a download USAF C12, so maybe that is the issue? I will try a short flight next time with a default plane and see if it logs that.

I thank you again for your patience. Beta 4 steps up the logging, so if you can try a short test flight in the same aircraft using Beta 4, that would give us a more accurate baseline to go on.
I think that I had asked you for the aircraft.cfg & panel cfg files, but if you could send me a link to that aircraft, I'll certainly take a look at it and see if I can spot something that we're not handling correctly.
I have two more minor bugs to work on, but this one is Job 1 as far as Dutch & I are concerned.

10-4, I will update to B4 and try a short flight tonight. I will also send you the airplane files this evening as well. Thank you!

Cool beans, AK... Dutch and I have a tentative bull session scheduled for Friday, and this will certainly be the top concern. Make the flight as short as you can... don't worry about arriving "on-time" since likely it will not score you anyway.  If you can send me a link to where I can get one of those aircraft, that itself might be worth its weight in gold-pressed latinum. |
