Difference in flight hours between X-Plane and Prepar3D
Posted: Sat Feb 02, 2019 8:53 pm
We have detected that all our flights with X-Plane have a longer duration than flights with P3D:
Flight
LEMD / LEBL
Report 2399503 with P3Dv4
00:58 (1h)
Report 2532786 with X-Plane 11
01:02 (1.4h)
I have timed the flight and from the taxi to parking brakes, it's 01:02, on the web FSAirlines appears correctly even if I indicate 1.4, but with the XML Interface you only get the value of 1.4, so you have to calculate the duration with the following formula:
$row['hours'] = 1.4
$seconds = ($row['hours'] * 60) * 60;
$elapsed = $hours = date ('H', $seconds); $minutes = date ('i', $seconds);
Result: 01:24 (1.40 h)
With P3D it works correctly, but with P3D it doesn't.
Has anyone else review this problem?
