What If: Unable To Complete Flight

Last night I was flying an Open Board Flight. (GTI806) KMIA-EHAM. Approx 1,000nm from my arrival SID LAMSO, FS9 and I didn't get along well. (FS9 Crash)

Now I just finished building my new rig and I am in the process of installing all the software I need. That said, the chance of this happening again should be slim to 0.

Am I able to re-fly this flight on another day, even though it's a Wednesday flight? Or if not; will I be penalized for not finishing a flight I selected?

Thanks in advance.

You can fly it any time you want Ken, as long as you set your FS world time reasonably. Because I fly with VATSIM, I usually set it for the date of the flight, the correct hour, but synch the minutes to real time so that I'm reasonably accurate when reporting crossings to VATSIM controllers.

Never thought about the minutes. I think I will start to do it also. Good idea.

Ken, just to clarify the times. What he was talking about is the time and date setting on your FS. If you select a flight from the schedule it will have a (real world) time limit on when you are supposed to have it finished. So in other words, anytime you schedule a flight be sure and read the fine print. It will usually tell you you must complete this flight within X number of days. (Atlas and DHL are 14 days.)
