Crazy, it's very consistent for me.

I'm running Win XP Pro SP2.

I'd be curious to know if anyone else experiences this trouble. As for now, i'm fine with it now that i understand what's happening to me.

Thanks,
JP

Next time I get a chance to fly two flights and book them, I'll give it a try too.

I've been getting the same behavior as carthorse.

That's funny, I'm still getting the lbs option button selected, but the number in the text box is the number of kg of fuel.

Hi Guys,

I don't think that there's any great mystery here, nor a fault with the client as such. The FlyNET website and the Client use KGS for recording data. If you look at any aircraft across the entire FlyNET world it shows you the remaining fuel in kgs. When the client fetches the data when you hit the 'Fly Booked Flight' button it fetches that kgs amount and inserts it in the refuel window. It may well remember the refuel option lbs/kgs that you last used but it will insert the kgs amount numbers in the window 'ready'. If you choose to use lbs then it's not a problem as you should know what fuel amount that you want for your next flight and insert the lbs amount that you want. When you look at the fuel in the client window once you have started the flight it will always show kgs amounts regardless of whether you selected lbs/kgs. If there is a loss in conversion and you don't need to refuel with an additional amount then click the kgs button and accept the current fuel state.

I didn't program that part of the client (and didn't have the time to look up the code). But it looks to me as if it's not a problem.

It's similar to your username and password...you don't have to type them every time because they are saved...the same thing happens with the fuel. Forget what appears in the edit box. Just type the amout of fuel you'd like to have and fly
