I noticed my rank didn't update the last time I passed the hours required. I left it alone and the next day I found that my rank had changed and was all OK

Thanks for that I will make great use of it also

After seeing that huge fuel price I used the maintenance section in the admin and reset PIREP finances. Now my fuel price for the month of June is $0.00 Does this make any sense to you Nabeel?

OK knowing the labelling is wrong makes a bit of sense but still something is wrong with my financials. I just accepted 8 pireps of quite small flights in light aircraft and I looked at fuel usage and the figure that is labelled wrong and looks to be correct with the fuel price I have set equalling the total fuel cost for the flight. After excepting all flights I checked the fuel costs for the month of June in the admin finacial section. Fuel had blown out to ($ -3,339,089,855.00) I went back and checked the PIREP FSAcars log and noticed that the fuel is recorded in Lbls and not Kg. Could this have something to do with it?

Config::Set('FUEL_DEFAULT_PRICE', '5.10'); Config::Set('FUEL_SURCHARGE', '5'); Config::Set('FUEL_GET_LIVE_PRICE', false); ALL of my airports airports have a fuel price set at 3.75 When a PIREP is files via FSAcars the fuel price comes in at anywhere from $200 to $2000 per kg sending the VA finances into a steep downward spiral making running a financialy viable VA an impossibility. I don’t know what else to do. At the moment I have to edit every pirep that is filed just to stay afloat.

I set it to false and i am still getting stupidly high fuel prices ???. As I am only after a fixed fuel price i have changed all my airports to a price of 3.75 per Kg of fuel. I will do a few test flights and see what happens now.

OK thanks This is what I have added to the local.config # Fuel info /* Default fuel price, for airports that don't have And the surcharge percentage. View the docs for more details about these */ Config::Set('FUEL_DEFAULT_PRICE', '5.10'); Config::Set('FUEL_SURCHARGE', '5'); Config::Set('FUEL_GET_LIVE_PRICE', true);

I think I have fudged it as I couldn't find any directions ??? Will let you know how it goes

hmmmm.. I cant find any settings in the core/local.config.php file to do with fuel cost. Am I looking in the right spot?

Yes I have done that. All my airports are set to zero. I probably could set them all manually to a figure of say 3.75 and it may fix my issue. But I thought you may want to fault find and fix the problem for future.

Have done the test.php and got the answer of 5.10 being the default value.

Departing Airport: YMIG Destination Airport: YSCH Both Australian airports. I wouldnt of thought fuel quantity should have anything to do with the kg price.

All of my airport fuel price settings are set to zero. This flight was logged with FSAcars and came through with a fuel price of 1282.35 per Kg.. WOW expensive fuel.
