Hi... Today I have flown Boeing 737-700 with OE-ADJ registration from LYBE to LSZH. I wanted to do the return flight tonight but the plane was not on LSZH airport. I went to the plane info to see where it is and I saw that it was in EPWA since someone did the LYBE(!)-EPWA flight.
However I do not see that anyone did the LSZH-LYBE flight, so I am wondering how is it possible to fly the plane from Belgrade to Warszaw when the said plain is at Zurich? Bug?

This is the plane in question...

You can see that the plane never flew from Zurich to Belgrade...
 
Go to your profile 'Pilots Lounge > My profile ' and change your career type to 'Basic'. In basic mode, you don't have to worry about where the aircraft is parked, and can choose any of the routes.

If you are already in basic mode, just book up the flight you wish and make the return flight.

Once you are landed, the aircraft will still be parked at EPWA as aircrafts don't move when flown in basic career mode.
 
Ok, looking into the flight reports, it looks like you are in basic mode, so not actually moving the aircraft around.

Where as Pilot ACH0953 is in advanced career mode, so when he has made his flight, he has moved the aircraft location from LYBE to EPWA
 
What?! From the start of my career I'm on professional career setting! And I can't fly LSZH to LYBE if the plane is not actually at LSZH. And I like it that way...
I think this situation needs a better look from some of you AirChild guys... I WAS ALWAYS on professional...
I actually think that the pilot who flew that LYBE-EPWA flight is on basic mode...
It totally breaks my immersion :\
 
As I say, just by looking at the flight reports that's how it would seem.

I can't actually view what career pilots are using or the previous movements of the aircraft.

As you are in pro mode, and last flew to LSZH, then the flight made afterwards shouldn't have been allowed if pilot is in advanced or pro mode, or shouldn't have affected the aircraft location if flown in basic mode.

Something Peter will have to take a look at through the database. I will email him to have a look :)
 
Lol, ok thanks :) I was shocked, I thought that there was a bug and I was reported as basic mode maybe :)
Well, in any case, that is what I was telling in the first place, that flight from LYBE to EPWA should have never took place since that plane was positively AT LSZH airport... That just ruined my perception of the game. If he had flown LSZH-LYBE I would have had no problem. Other pilot took that flight and that's all. But this is something like magic. The plane just teleported to LYBE :D

Anyway, I'm flying charter LSZH - EPWA at the moment to get to Warszaw and get our runaway bird ;)
 
Oh man... I can not catch a break... I just flew that LSZH - EPWA flight and for the first time I used wrong flight number :\ Instead of ACH7679 I put ACH7676 in FSPassengers... :\
I guess there is no way in hell for me to somehow export this flight to Air-child? :(

Hello Milan

Because it's a charter flight (begin with 7xxx) there is a way to fix it you have to wait till Peter or Norbert change your flight number in booking system. But you have to write this in another thread or just wait.

Not really a bug. It has always been like this. Planes are moved, regardless of your career mode. That means also in basic mode. In the first years we thought it was ok this way. But we need to change it anyway, in regards to the further extension of VA system and careers. This is part of major changes and will take a while.
For now you can simply switch to basic mode and just pretend the plane is still in Zurich. Make your booking from LSZH, switch back to pro, fly. Nothing bad will happen ;)

For the other problem: I just changed your booking to flight number ACH7676. You should now be able to report. I will remove the other thread that's no longer needed.
 
Hello everybody,

it took me a moment to realize that the plane / pilot in question was me. First of all I want to say hello to all of you, knowing that inside this thread this is probably not the best place in the forum to do so.
Just to let you know: LYBE-EPWA was my second ACH flight. I did it simply because I wanted to fly from Belgrade to Warszaw and because I was able to book this flight. I didn't want to do a "hostile takeover" of anybody's plane. I didn't even have a closer look at the plane's registration.
Aside from the admirable idea and motivation of air child, the great route net was a reason for me to join. And it's true, I'm in basic career mode :) which does not mean that I am new to flight simulation. Being a virtual pilot for almost 20 years, I'm happy now to be a part of a great community with a great hobby and of course a great human background!

Always three greens

Hi Stephan :) I'm sorry if you got the feeling that my post was against you as a pilot :) All the planes are the property of Air Child and not of any pilot. So you are free to use any plane you wish that is not booked :)
This whole thread was about the very system of this virtual airline that I was not fully aware of. I just couldn't understand how the plane that I was flying to LSZH was magicaly transfered to LYBE. I didn't know at that moment that the system was... well... like it is :) Kind of un-logical...
As I already said, you are not at fault at all here...
And also, welcome to the Air-child VA, I hope you will like it here :)
I'm also glad that you seem to like flying from LYBE (I'm from Serbia). If you need scenery for LYBE just let me know.
Cheers!
 
And I will take the chance, to welcome Stefan to our community. I hope we will have a great time together.

I also take the opportunity to invite you (and of course any other pilot)to our

, which will take place on the 07th of July 2012 for the first time - it looks like we are going to fly from EDDK to ESSA that day and, depending on the number of pilots, who will join, after 14 days from ESSA to another destination, which will be elected before.

Further Information will be published in this forum.
 
Hi Milan,

no worries! I also tend to take my pilots tasks very seriously. So I fully understand your surprise by this somehow "teleported" airplane. Next thing for me will be to change my career settings ... :) And thanks for the scenery information. And for the welcome, Oliver!

Hello

Maybe a few words about the reservation system Air-Child. THERE IS NO (sorry for the exclamation used only as a bullet something) someone else's plane. As long as the plane is not booked anyone can take it and fly. After booking, you have 72 hours to complete the flight and report it. If after booking you do not, after 72 hours the plane will again be available for booking. So it can happen that someone can book a plane which you want to go back or go to another destination.Najlepszym solution for this situation is to book a charter flight back. Flightplan will be completed, because the system will communicate that there is a flight plan on the route and ask if you want to use it.

Greetings.
 
Thank you Rafael. We were fully aware of that. This thread was abut something completely different ;)
Cheers!
