"Hi to all who always wanted to have a look behind the scenes of our dispatch and flight procedures <!--emo&^_^-->[img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/happy.gif[/img]<!--endemo--> : <span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'> 1. Flight Dispatcher</span> The dispatcher gets his route and weather informations from official websites (for example NOAA for METARs). The Dispatcher

• stores all your flight data in a database for later use. </li>
• provides you with a printable version (as web page or if requested as PDF file). </li>
• generates a listing of waypoints in decimal converted format (Appendix A) for INS usage</li>
• supplies a FS9 compatible flightplan</li>
• stores all flight relevant data for later FSACARS (client) use.</li>

<span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'> 2. Flight Analyzer </span> The Flight Analyzer

• collects data which is sent by FSACARS</li>
• combines data on a per pilot, per route basis and calculates tracks and profiles</li>
• displays flight-/track information on a webpage</li>

Attention: The date and time values are local to the server where data is stored (PST). They do not correspond to your scheduled flight dates! <span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'>3. PIREPs </span> are stored independent of the above described features in a seperate databse. The transmission is done either by clicking Send Log after a finished flight or by sending the logfile via E-Mail (as a fallback) If you want you can download the <a href='http://www.globecargo.org/Documentation ... torage.pdf' target='_blank'>Globe Cargo Data Storage Description</a> which is hopefully informative for you!
