Hi @Nabeel and all v7 testers,
Found a strange behavior within vmsAcars. Will explain my setup and result, hope it help you to imagine the situation (or re-create in a test setup)
1. Created my subfleet (ex. A321-OHY)
2. Inserted some aircrafts to the database and assigned them to that subfleet
3. Created my fares as Economy - Domestic (YD) and Economy - International (YI) , assigned prices and costs to them
4. Returned back to subfleet settings , assigned both Economy - Domestic (YD) and Economy - International (YI) fares to the subfleet with defining max seat capacity (219)
5. Created two short haul domestic flights (SAW-AYT-SAW) with %90 load factor, assigned only Economy - Domestic (YD) fare to this flights.
Setup complete, continue on test flight with bid/vmsacars
6. Bid flight (SAW-AYT)
7. Generate SimBrief OFP and check load route fuel etc. Export files as required
8. Start sim (X-Plane 11.50) , load the aircraft as per flight plan/bid
9. Run vmsAcars, search for my bid, select and load bid/flightplan, select aircraft (aircraft list shows the subfleet members as expected)
At this point things does not seem right 'cause vmsAcars pulls the fare definitions only from the subfleet I think and wants me to fill both pax figure fields.
Economy - Domestic (YD) 210 / 219 (210 was pre filled automatically)
Economy - International (YI) 210 / 219 (210 was pre filled automatically)
What I expect is to be able to assign multiple fares to a subfleet and use the ones defined in the flight, like in the real world. So it should check the fares of the subfleet and the flight, select only the matching ones. Here in our example it should be Economy - Domestic (YD) only.
Anyway, vmsAcars does not allow you to put 0 to any of the fare types, so I edited them and made Economy - Domestic 209 and Economy - International 1 (total 210) ... Started my flight, landed to my destination and send my pirep.
When I check the pirep details I saw that both fares was calculated with 210 pax ! So even editing the pax figures before starting flight does not solve things
I checked the GitHub issues page for similar reports but found nothing, as this may be a design feature thus I wanted to write here in detail.
Is this a bug ? Or was the fare/flight system designed this way ?
Will wait your replies
