What the hell happened here!!??

Post by Nigel H-J »

At Glasgow, booked flight to East Midlands flew that leg and after landing got a warning of excessive speed whilst still braking on the runway after touchdown then lost my connection completely when taxying in reconnected flynet found out that it was registering I had landed at the wrong airport when in fact I HAD landed at East Midlands!!!!

Is it my computer playing up on the connection or is this Flynet??

Really not happy that I have been registered as 85% (overspeed and wrong airport)!!

Cannot even put remarks down after flight as it had set me back to Heathrow!!

Equally please look at my flight time!!!! You cannot get from Glasgow to Heathrow in just over one hour in a Viscount at real time flying!!!

That is the time it took me to get to East Midlands. Is anyone able to sort this out?

a very disgruntled pilot!!

It looks like the server is suffering a slowdown for some reason. When this occurs, it can cause connection problems and wierd things to happen. I'll delete the flight. It's a computer - it screws up sometimes. Don't sweat it, just let John or me know and we'll get it taken care of.

Chris,

Many thanks, I had sent John a message regarding this.

Also very much appreciate your response and help.

NB: Will be making return flight to East Midlands then Heathrow tomorrow as now running short of hours, having to get ready for work soon.

Regards Nigel.

Hi Nigel..

Sh1t happens sometimes mate. I can't tell you how many times I've landed at Manchester but a few mins ago while preparing to turn onto the approach.. black screen.. FS error box and the culprit was ai.Playr.dll. It's not too bad as the flight is only 40odd mins long but still.. I could be on my way to somewhere else rather than running the same darned flight again. As a precaution.. all UK2000 Part6 traffic has been removed.. for now ;-)

Tks for sorting that out CT :thumbsup:

Hi Dave,

Very frustrating. Though as Chris said, at the end of the day it is a computer connected to a server, so I suppose anything can happen.

So once again Chris, many thanks for sorting this out.

Regards
Nigel.

What's really odd about your flight though is that it didn't report the flight as a crash or cheat. I've not seen that happen before. Made it easier to delete however.
