I'll try to tell you the story of my last flight, as an example how it goes in our new ACH-FSE system.
In SCIE (Concepción, Chile) we have a Twin Otter and a Seneca.
I take a look at our group assignments departing from SCIE. Those going to SAMM (Malargüe, Argentina) and SAMR (San Rafael, Argentina) are the best possibility. I take them all in "MyFlight". Because I must transport 14 passengers, I chose for the Twin Otter (max 19 pax).
First I look at the route:

After that, I take care of my passengers (no cargo this time):

FSE says: "you can depart from SCIE now"... Oops... just a minute... I need more fuel...
Because the fuel price here in SCIE is really cheap I take a full tank.
I activate my client for FS Economy (in my case X-Economy 1.7 for X-Plane 10 64-bit).
This plugin was already working with my Twin Otter from X-Hangar. I do not have to change that.
Next step is to prepare this flight at Air Child.
I chose the Twin Otter:
I prepare the flight plan:

I also prepare the flight plan for VATSIM:

to Peter: the button to send the flight plan to VATSIM is not working !!!
Now I am ready to activate XAcars:
Because I want to fly online, I activate XSquawkbox (beta) for 64-bits:
Well, we are ready to take off. Let's check if everything is working:
Is FS Economy activated?

Is XAcars working?
Is my flight online, in VATSIM? (checking with " "):
[imgpop]http://www.remen.nl/ACH/Flight/ACH-FSEflight11.jpg[/imgpop]
All right. We go...
I take a look at our "Live Watch":
[imgpop]http://www.remen.nl/ACH/Flight/ACH-FSEflight12.jpg[/imgpop]
In my opinion is everything okay. But... the weather can become a big problem
[imgpop]http://www.remen.nl/ACH/Flight/ACH-FSEflight21.jpg[/imgpop]
I must fly still about one hour... Let's do it faster (no other aircrafts here, no ATC online).
I activate a faster mode:
[imgpop]http://www.remen.nl/ACH/Flight/ACH-FSEflight13.jpg[/imgpop]
[imgpop]http://www.remen.nl/ACH/Flight/ACH-FSEflight22.jpg[/imgpop]
I land at SAMM, Malargüe, Argentina, with very much fog..., no lights, no ILS... but I could handle it.
[imgpop]http://www.remen.nl/ACH/Flight/ACH-FSEflight23.jpg[/imgpop]
I follow the instruction from the Operating Guide: "set the parking brakes and shutdown the engine". XAcars manually from the menu's and I send the PIREP.
I take a look at the plugin X-Economy:
I check if my arrival is recorded at Air Child:
We are now ready for the next flight.

Oh, yeah... our money is payed.

and our bank account is growing
