XAcars and diversions

[Lauri Uusitalo]

Due to RL interference I had to divert on my EGLL-EFHK flight to ESMS. Pirep now shows correct flight time, but distance is incorrect. Should I do something in XAcars when closing the flight?

And regarding the flight route, when booking the flight, it says the route is optional. Is the route used for anything?

Hello Lauri,

I have changed the mileage and destination ICAO for the flight - as far as I know, you can't edit this data in XACARS - please let me know if anything else is erroneous.

Regarding the route that it tells you when booking - you don't have to enter one it is simply used to show the planned route on the live ACARS map.
