All the pireps off Rico are wrong, they are all missing the Fuel burnt field.

In some ways it is better to include the fuel burnt but a PIREP which doesn't have it isn't actually wrong. It is optional whether or not you fill it in.

In real life you dont stop a flight and fly a later time to finish the flight, remember a virtual airline is a mirror of real life, if you cant make long flights then don’t make these flights!.

You must remember that although yes it is like a mirror of a real airline, it is also meant to be fun and enjoyable. So I don't see that saving is a problem.

If euroharmony management isnt active and doing nothing , then there is something very wrong.

I can't believe you say this. Euroharmony has one of the best managements if not the best management of all virtual airlines. They dedicate so much time and are always around. The fact of how they brought back Euroharmony after 'the big crash' is evidence of this.
EHM-1199 Philip:
I'm really torn between Willen and Tom here. We do have a very visible and worthwhile management that are actively promoting and improving the airline. After the departure of Gergely I had concerns that this might change but Maarten, Manu and others have proved this not to be the case - they work hard to make the sim experience better.
Euroharmony does actively promote further enjoyment to flying simulators than flying alone. The tours and the awards system encourage this as does this great forum. You get a feeling of belonging and a structure to your flying that does improve the experience.
However, that said, I am with Willem on not saving longer flights. I didn't think this was permissable. For a start you have to submit system times so if you have saved and continued a flight you have to lie to submit one system time. Also, with such a huge timetable and great series of tours there must be a flight to suit the time you have available. I'm all for a more rigorous check on people actually flying. We all know you can take off, click autopilot and then clear off until ten minutes before landing but why .... ?
If you fly for EHM you agree to check your flight every fifteen minutes and I see no purpose to flying a huge long flight in segments or whilst not engaged in the flying experience.
Me, I try more and more to use appropriate charts for the flight and make the whole flight a busy and fun experience. If anybody cares to explain the pleasure of autopilot in a jet for long periods of time - especially over ocean - then I'm ready to listen and even be persuaded. Until then, most of my flights will be short and over great scenery.
Sure, I'll make the occasional overnighter but only when I can sit there and enjoy the flight.
Just an opinion - feel free to shout me down.;)
EHM-0962 Zhen Yi:
First of all, i would like to say that yes putting in the amout of fuel burnt is optional, so that doesn't make his PIREPs faulted.
Secondly, does the automated system already block PIREPs from being filed if it exceeds the daily limit?
Thirdly, i believe that flying flights in segments are allowed, provided that it is stated in the comments. Please correct me if i am wrong. Also i remember that the management were even trying to make a flight logger that would allow for the saving and continuing of flights! (or maybe the current logger can already do that.........)
And last of all, the EuroHarmony management is very active, look at all what they've done for us! Instructions to correct the dynamics of the fokker planes, replies to enquiries in the forum, how can you say that they are inactive?
EHM-1152 Thomas:
Don't get me wrong Plymyphil. Although I said I wasn't against saving, I never save flights. I totally agree with you about just leaving planes on autopilot and coming back to land them. I always stay with my plane and always fly the full flight.
However I am also aware that there are pilots who don't have as much time as I do and therefore cannot fly long flights in one go. I just felt that they should also be accomadated for - thats all
