Info line on acars map
Posted: Fri Dec 21, 2007 1:33 pm
Hey guys,
I seem to have continuing problem regardless of which reporting tool I use, be it FSFK, FSACARS, or the new GCP. Each program tells me I'm connected w/ FS and ready to proceed but when I do I only get a flight callsign on the map and never an info strip.
As I type this I'm GY105 from the Midlands to Ankara and the callsign displays in the proper place on the map but no info--I'm concerned it is also not transmitting to GCV so I'll try to send an end of flt pirep.
Anyone have an idea of what steps I may have missed to get things going correctly.
I normally plan the flt in FSBuilder, export it to FS, then start FS and insure everything is good to go including fuel changes, brakes set, etc; and then lastly start (GCP in this case) and fill in the appropriate blocks, press the green button, minimize GCP and return to FS for taxi.
Thanks for any input
Gary
