Times Shown in the open board

"Hello all, I have just completed SBKP-KMIA but the time shown in the open board doesn't tie in whether it be local or zulu time. The flight is about 7.5 hours so leaving Sao Paulo at 17:30 local (20:30Z) should see in Miami around 00:00 local (04:00Z) but the open board states departure at 17:30 and arrival at 06:40+1. As you can see, it doesn't tie in. Any thoughts?. Regards, Christian Conesa."

"Just to make things more confusing, all airline schedules are in LOCAL TIMES at both ends. Sometimes it makes it possible to arrive before you depart . . [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif[/img] Just don't forget so set the correct departure time and date in Flight Simulator before activating FSACars/FS FlightKeeper. From that point on all you are concerned with is block to block time and not what time it is when you arrive."

"Hi Ralph, long time we hadn't exchanged posts. Understood about the flight times and I suspected they were local times. I have logged my departure time as local so no problem there. By the way, I sent you and email (and to Justin) informing that I was going to restart my flying again. I wonder if you can change my status to fully active. Thanks. Regards, Christian Conesa."

"Ralph, I posted something earlier on this, but never got a reply. My flight dispatches are showing some weird things. one of them is the fuel estimate, it is showing no fuel required for the trip other than climb etc, etc, No big deal since I don't go by those anyhow, but is there possibly a problem on my end? It also doesn't show any flight time for the flight. Thanks"
