Flight Dispatcher - Possible Bug

[kelvyn]

Hello,

As a Flight planner I use FSCommander 8.6. I went into the "Flight Dispatch" section and set my Time constraint to 30 min, then proceeded to search for available "Charter" flights and selected it

I then selected a FLT Plan and adjusted the FL. It successfully read the file, but when I clicked on the "View Releases" bottom, part of it was some how corrupted (ASCII Characters displayed). I assumed this was this a view display being a BETA. So I "Committed" to the flight.

I then proceeded on loading the Citation X (Eaglesoft) and sure enough FCOM states I have 1 commitment, but when I hit the F7 (Review) it displays a corrupt character where the airplane info should be. Found no other place where I could continue with the flight.

Went back to the Flight Dispatch and found the following under the "Flight Log":



Notice the invalid character next to the C750

I believe this is why I can't flight the committed flight. Is there a way to either uncommit or fix the entry so it recognizes the plane (which I assume is the reason why I can't fly it)? Will the "Erase Entry" button do the job? Don't want to hit the button in the event it makes things worst.

Thanks

Good morning,

Well... I guess while waiting decided click on the "Erase Entry" as my commit time was soon to expired and it effectively "uncommit" the flight.

That invalid character was picked up out of the aircraft.cfg. But I'm not sure exactly which character (they can be invisible in the editor). Could you send me the aircraft.cfg for that airplane? Send to [e-mail]. I'll make sure the program takes that into consideration in the future.

Dutch,

Going to send you the "Aircraft.cfg file". I believe the issue was more due to the fact of me using the "Select Plan" option to ingest the FSCommander FLT plan. It only did it once for now, I'll be testing it out once again a bit later today...

I might be totally off in my thinking... hope you can improve or ensure this Aircraft is being properly setup by FSCaptain with the CFG file I sent you!!!

Thanks
