Saving FSC Flight.

[Lane]

Dutch,

Hope this feature will be in the next release
Last night I flew a Charter Flight Leg out of Port au Prince MTPP Haiti for a Return trip back to Florida. Loaded 20 Pax, with Baggage. to Long Island MYLS
Bahamas to refuel. using FSC 1.04 with your DC3C, Fs9.
When I set up the Flight I forgot to set time to Midday. Left a 17:50 wound up
being a night flight. 336 Nm to MYLS. When I got there is was pitch black.
No ILS watched GPS for the approach never did see the runway at 500 ft.
Missed the Airport so I switched time to midday. and landed ok. sure messed up
my flight report. My Pax unloaded and that ended the flight.
The idea was to stop and Refuel and fly the next leg to Florida.
Wish there was a way to keep PAX Aboard and Refuel and continue the flight.
Thanks for reading
Lane

You can always refuel an FSCaptain flight, just land at any airport that's not your destination and the system will recognize that you are re-fueling.

You just need to build in the extra time that the re-fueling takes to be sure you arrive within the on-time window.

It's quite possible to fly a scheduled flight that's beyond the range of your aircraft. If you do this, the dispatcher will build in the extra refueling time for you. If the flight is within range, you need to request the extra time yourself by upping the ETE before departure.

Hope this helps,
Dutch

Last week I found out about the refuelling thing by accident when the flight attendant suddenly announced it to my passengers after landing. A little surprised by this I checked and managed to work out that I’d mistyped a letter in my flight plan and that I’d just touched down at completely the wrong airport. Oops.

Thanks Guys,
I will do a little experimenting with that info. ;D
Last night MYLS was my re-fueling Airport. and that was the Airport I had
set as my destination. So I had to unload PAX on the ramp
No big deal I will Set Up for KFPR Ft Pierce, FL, as my To airport.
And the DC3 will be back to home base. And I will load a new PAX
for the flight. I will just pretend they go back on the Aircraft. for the final Leg.
Sure messed up the ATA time when I set the time from night to day.
I deleted the flight. sure was not one to write home about.
My Fault I should have notice I was leaving Port au Prince at 17.50 hrs.
and it would be night landing.at MYLS. Never did see the runway lights.
Regards
Lane
