Hello.
I've been having an issue with times. Getting penalized for late arrivals, however i arrive right on time and the penalty times are ridiculous: 1-3 hours late. FS MCDU says On-Time up until the deboarding procedure, on deboarding it suddenly changes to "scheduled time X, arrival time Z - late arrival". I double check the times when setting up the flight in Admin, i use my yoke chronometer for OUT through IN times and aircraft's chronometer for OFF through ON times. Total times vary from -5mins to +5min difference with the scheduled times.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Last2Night,
could you send us (see below) a zip file with your FSCaptain\Data\Logs folder ?
Best,
Peter

Peter's just going to forward them to me.  I will then see which version you are using - and hopefully there is not a bug in a recent version that would cause the behavior you describe. Assuming there isn't a bug....The current log set won't say too much about why you are late (or being called late). To do that we would have to know your airspeed & winds as well as a few other factors at certain points in time. (These would include LOAD, OUT, OFF, TOC, POS *, WAYPOINT_PASSAGE *, TOD, ON, IN, UNLOAD.) See my response to this thread for a feature-to-come which will offer a full post-flight report. Version 1.7.0 RC (arriving this weekend if no bugs are reported from Dutch or Peter) will begin logging this data to the FCDU logs. If you use a detailed PLN and perform position reporting there will be more data gathered for analysys. Those logs (together with pre-flight data such as the preliminary Dispatch Release) should be of interest when calculating "why am I told that I am late"? |

Hi Last2Night, I forwarded your logs to Travis and Dutch. I had a look at the logs, but I couldn't find anything suspicious apart from that you are still using 1.6.2  Actually, 1.6.3 / 1.7.0 provides much better logging information, so it might be worthwhile to switch once it is released. Best, Peter |

Yes, please give 1.7.0 RC2 a try when it's uploaded tomorrow (my Saturday). I added logging of a/c, airline and environmental factors for those flight states and I was very impressed with the data that I gathered in my test flight this morning.

P.S. How the progress on combining GSX functions with FSC? For us, GSX works fairly well with FSCaptain, so there's been no change in quite a few months. Today I sussed out that I shouldn't close the passenger doors if GSX is boarding passengers, and that will go into the next build. Is there anything in particular you're curious about? |

Would love the boarding process to be combined. Its kind of annoying to have 2 different boarding procedures, one for GSX and one for FSC. Would be great if FSC could track GSX's boarding procedure and count it as its own progress.
Thanks.

We track GSX's procedures moreso than any other add-on we are aware of - GSX announces they are "available," "started," and "completed."
They do not announce how long they will need to complete their services. There is no way for us to calculate how long they will take.
If they would let us know their service duration, we would gladly adapt.

Dont get me wrong, FSC is the only addon that tracks GSX work and its great. I dont mind the lack of countdown, its not that important. Whats i was thinking is if FSC could start boarding procedure along side GSX and complete it with GSX. I really dont mind the lack of "X+tick/Z passengers boarded" If you guys could add it as an option for us users. |

Since the inability to keep count in sync with GSX would mean we would have to lose the "head count" - which is something I now know you can live with - this becomes possible. I will ponder on the best way forward and will include this option into our "next" version - 1.7.1 or 1.8.0 or whatever random series of digits we decide to use. I'll likely also give the option to suppress loading/unloading pax sounds for those who would prefer to listen to GSX or AES sounds. |

Thats awesome! Thank you.
BTW Have you guys released 1.7? As on the home page it still gives the only download option for 1.6.2

I was amazingly sidetracked yesterday and ended up adding one more little goodie.
I'm building the installers now and will upload very soon....
