Ribbon Pirep problem
« on: July 14, 2012, 03:40:58 pm »
Greetings,

I have just flown leg 18 of the Alaska - Home of the midnight sun ribbon ( PAMC to 2AK7 ) and there is a problem with the Pirep program. When i started the flight it says it does not have 2AK7 in the database ( I have recently run Makerwys ) and was asked to put the Lat/Long of 2AK7 in there. The Pirep program said i would not be able to auto pirep the flight so on landing i manually entered the pirep and was advised it could not be saved as the aircraft was not at the location for the flight or something like that. On checking it appears the aircraft is at PATK which is 9 miles to the west of 2AK7.

I know find that if i want to fly the next leg of the ribbon i am back at the start ( leg 1 from PANC to PAIN) ((Yes it is a pain).

The flight from PAMC to 2AK7 was flown online on Vatsim and took 1hr55min from memory. I flew it in F-VANB the Cessna C208 Caravan.

Is there any way to carry on with this ribbon? ( i only have 2 legs to go.)

Ty

Ok Ty, have fixed your flight to show in 2AK7 but need to know what aircraft you were in. All the system is showing me is an FSE aircraft. Let me know type and I can then transfer one there for you.

Cheers .... Tony

FSE VAN-B Cessna 208 Caravan. IT is currently located in PATK ( 9 miles down the road at the bottom of this big hill i am sitting on.)

It is still showing as being in flight. Use your AC on your FS and I will place a C421 Reg VH-JBC at 2AK7, use that for your flights.
