Acars flight time error

Post by jfriz »

Hello folks,
I am a new pilot here.
My last flight, a 5.5 hour flight, the Acars showed 22 + hours. This is incorrect, and has put me over my 32 hour time.
Is there anyway to correct it ? I see where I can delete the whole flight, losing the 5.5 hours.
Thanks for the help anyone...

Hi Jerry,

Send an email to your Region Manager and reference the flight number and city pair. Your RM can look thru the log and hopefully find the error and make the correction.

Is this for FS9? There is a known bug in that version that messes up the timezones when you cross the data line.
Check this link http://forums.vatsim.net/viewtopic.php?t=24057 and in particular the reference to Timezone 3.0 by Dennis Thompson. I remember having the same issue back in the dark days when I was still using FS9. :lol: Of course, if you are using FSX and still have this issue then I have no clue what may be happening!
