Hi Andy

I think DM will have to change the link to the new FSA server so that we can connect directly with the database. He usually gets these things sorted in short order

Things still aren't quite right, flights show up when booked but do not show on the VA home page once they are in motion, taxi, climb, cruise etc don't display.

Okey dokey. I'll fire an email off to DM

Things are getting back to normal now.
I've had a lot of help from the FSA crew on this. We've basically had to convert all our stats to collect the FSA data using their integration kit, rather than direct access to their database. Not something I'd have managed on my own.

As it stands, I think it's now only missing the blackbox & position data from the flight reports. We'll hopefully get that again in the near future.

Thank for the heads up on the problem with active flights on the VA Home page. That's not something I'd noticed.
Seems to be working fine now. Fortunately there has been one flight booked and one flight active while I've been fixing it.

If you spot anything else, do let us know.

Indeed, all efforts much appreciated by us armchair pilots

Not so much a connection issue but a gripe about FSA anyway.

Tried to book a flight, system showing a briefing document. Check CBFA home page and it ios showing me as booked to fly LFPB to EGMC!
I flew that yesterday and have just flown EGMC-EHAM (There is no DC3 at LFPB).

Only way around and carry on flying (rather than wait some time for the system to be reset manually) it is to "cancel current flight" at a cost of 459 v$, not a great hill of beans but there is a principle involved.

Now I am even more confused.

I was certain I had booked a flight from Amsterdam to Southend (it is certainly what I intended to fly) and that is what I flew.

I have been given a "WRONG AIRPORT" but the system has NOT booked me automatically to fly the aircraft to Norwich where it thinks I should have gone and my signature panel shows me at Amsterdam flying to Norwich.

Any ideas?
