Old flight still in Client - new flight booked!

Post by Izak » Wed Oct 08, 2008 6:58 am

As can be seen from my attachment my Client is still showing the previous flight as being the booked one.
As can be seen from the background and also when logging onto the website this is not the correct flight.
Everytime this now happens and I lose out on about V$10 000 whish is getting a bit irritating!
Please advise ASAP.

I'm getting the same problem. Restarted FS2004, loaded up a Dash 8 at the new airport, set parking brakes, and then started the client. It still shows in the client the wrong location of the pilot (me) as where the previous flight began.

Hi,

I wonder if your ISP's are saving pages in a cache somewhere to connect quicker and it has the old client info 'saved' ? Do you have automatic login selected as an option in the client? If so, try unchecking it so that you have to log in each time you start the client. Shot in the dark I know.

I have a hankering it might have had to do with me pausing the sim during the flight yesterday, due to some "in flight cooking" I was undertaking. Somehow I come back now and it shows me at the correct airport.

I've done a little more tinkering... it seems that when I log in with Brendanair, the client thinks I'm trying to do the old flight. However, when I log on with brendanair as the username (notice- all lower case), it shows correctly my new balance and the newly booked flight, with my pilot-character in the correct position.

I'm thinking we might have a cache issue at hand.

I flew a booked flight twice, successfully completed it with the client, yet upon restarting of the client I'm shown the same booked flight, as if I never had left the airport. Is there any cached information that the client relies upon, other than the "saved username and password" (I've deleted the .ini files as if it were a new installation of the client).

You physically have to keep on clicking on flight information until your flight comes up so definately some sort of caching...

okay. I clicked "flight information" until "please book a flight first" comes up, so I think the cache was cleared. I'm going to try a brief test flight to see if it worked. I think possibly my PIREPs aren't being accepted because the client is trying to send the wrong flight or something. I can't figure it out honestly, I clicking where needs to be clicked, adding parking brakes where they need to be added, etc...

yeah, something must not be updating. Unfortunately when I set my aircraft up, with fuel + parking brakes, then go start the client and click on "flight information," then "fly!" it shows a wildly different passenger load then the website briefing document. I have no clue where the client could be getting its information, since I'm clearing everything in the program folder that could give it information. NUTS!
