PIREPS filed via FSACARS do not show correct hours in some places

Below is the bug report from my site.

Issue : Hours for flights flown using FSACARS are not being counted correctly when the PIREP is filed from within FSACARS

Example : http://www.ceruleanairlines.com/main/index.php/profile/view/4 Should show as 4.7 not 4.07

Original Report :

I filed a PiREP today for one of the ferry flights in the MD83. I filed a 4.7 hour flight with the use of FSACARS (which  i didn’t show up on the map.)

However on my pilot page it shows 4.07 hours, basically getting docked over .5 hours of flight time.

Can we please just use tenths (.1) and not go to the hundredth (.01) It would make life so much easier Smiley

I see what you mean…I believe I have brought this up before…

How does it show up in the admin panel, when you go to accept the PIREP?

I won’t have time to test this until tomorrow most likely

When I check the database it is showing as 4.70  The person who filed the report also amended that this wasn’t filed via FSACARS.  He put the bid in manually after the FSACARS program crashed on approach.

So just the manual PIREPs are showing without the leading zero?

I guess so.. As near as I can tell its merely a display bug.

Hey Vince I posted something in the FAQ section about acars, most of the time when there is a crash the flight is saved.
