Long Haul Flights
EHM-0361 Karsten:
I agree time compression is a great feature. Even though I wouldn't use it, but that's my decision. In some way I can see it might be looked upon as a strong point of EHM. But if you use the time compression, please remember when use file you're PIREP to tell us (Hub captains and others that check PIREP's) that you have used time compression during you flight.
EHM-1001 Robert:
Allright, landing and takeoff included in the flight, but I used the word consists, coz the cruising is really not difficult.
I usually turn off autopilot at 2000' before the glide slope and put it down manually. But it looks really nice when the FMC lands a 747 ;)
EHM-0240 Joe:
Regarding the whole business about time compression (this topic seems to have broken up into two different topics), the best solution would be to have something in the PIREP form where you select what time compression you have used. Then the database uses this to credit your pilot profile with only the real hours you flew, but on the flight information the flight still appears as the full time so that statistics are not messed up.
Anyway I shouldn't really suggest it because I don't have a clue how to do it and I don't know if anyone else knows how to. :)
EHM-0962 Zhen Yi:
I would suggest that the flight logger record both real world flight time and FS flight time to improve on the accuracy of the flight time. The use of the mode of time compression to calculate this is not accurate as different modes of time compression could be used throughout the entire flight and hence mess up the calculations. If that takes a long time to implement, a temporary solution could be to disregard those PIREPs that included the use of time compression in the calculation of the route statistics etc. The need to provide flight times for both the real world and FS could potentially promote the use of the flight logger as logging flights with the PIREP form would become more of a hassle. On the other hand it could very well promote the rouge input of flight data.....
EHM-0361 Karsten:
I don't know how much programming it will take, to have that option with the flight logger. But I think it would take a whole lot of changes in the database, to make it posible.
