A few bugs to be added to the list:

1. If the flight is paused, the paused time is not subtracted from the total flight time resulting to wrong bonus points received.

2. VHHX airport not recognised
http://www.oav.gr/forum/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=2232

And a suggestion: Flight cancelation if the paused time exceeds a limit.

Another bug to be added: ACARS picks the wrong waypoint.

Route used in dispatch office: LPMA DEGUN DCT NARTA DCT MINTA DCT KOSEL UM445 LASPO UM871 XATOS M871 CAR Q152 CDC L869 CRN M601 RUTOM UN604 ARA UB34 NEMES LGAV

MINTA is a duplicate waypoint, one located north of LPMA and the other one at Thailand. For some reason ACARS picks the second one during flight parsing and not the closest one.

Update after completion of the flight:
Pirep's distance ok, generated map wrong.

Hi
I am not sure this is a bug but decided to report it anyway.
Today I made a landing of -100 which should be perfect but on the PIREP I got the points for nice landing.

Hi,
Just tried the warning for taxi without start flight. Pushback didn't triger the warning which is probably right cause speed was 0 but start of taxi gave me a warning as intended. Although it is working I think that it should be repetitive by time (for example after 30' if you don't start the flight it should sound again) or by speed (for example when you pass 10-15knots and still not started a flight). Although it is noticeable you could still miss it if ATC is talking or in high traffic situations like events etc.

0.4.1.2 is now live

New feature is better support for free flights: The correct flight number, airports and distance are shown.
Small correction in acars database.
Improved the "flight not started" warning: When the warning is triggered, acars window gets focus and displays it's self temporary on top of all others so the pilot won't miss it.

The warning is triggered when the ground speed gets greater that 1 kt. With aerosoft's airbus i get the warning during the pushback since the gs increases more than 1 kt, but it may have to do with that particular aircraft addon.

I think you missed the perfect landing by 1 ft...acars manual -> page 32 gives a detailed point system table

Do you use AES or GSX? I use Aerosoft's airbus with AES and on pushback GS is 0 but the loss is minimal if you get the warning when you start taxiing.

I've tested it with GSX and Shift-P.

The main point of the warning is to inform the pilot before he takes off, i believe we are accomplishing that :)
