New flights not showing up in GCP

My next months flights (December) and my Charter flight from KPIT to PANC did not/are not showing up in the list of flights in the queue. I have tried using the download flights several times, and alas, no result. Because of this, the flight from KPIT to PANC does not show up on my PIREPs.

Whats going on?

Don't forget, you can manually enter your flight data in to GCP. The select flight box is there just for convenience so you don't have to enter all that info manually for a GC flight. Entering the info manually won't degrade GCP in any way.

Wow, I feel stupid,

Thanks Justin; But again, why aren't they showing up?

Not sure, I'll have to look into. GCP just displays the data that's collected from and sent by the server. The server must not be sending the new flights to GCP. I checked my GCP and my December flight doesn't show up either.

Well, that would be nice.....

fortunately you can "link" GPC to the Flight Simulator Files directory where the FS Flight Plans are stored, but GCP expects a certain filename FS9 does not deliver....so FSARCARS was better in that place as you just opened the file window and could select the file of the FP you want.

I think that dhas to be changed. I better go back to FSARCAS at the moment.

This is a different function than that. GCP doesn't use FS Flight Plans at all. This is the list of your assigned flights that GCP obtains from the GC server. It's the Select Flight dropdown box in GCP which is populated with the flight number, departure and destination. When a flight from there is selected it fills in the flight number, departure, destination in the boxes to the right. If it's a polar flight it will also display the scheduled departure and arrival times.

I got your message on MSN. One of these days we should get together on there to try to figure this out. You have a unique problem that I need to dig deep into I think to figure it out.
