So there I am flying the DC3 from Rotterdam to Liverpool, only there is quite a headwind even at FL80.
Discretion being the better part of valour I diverted to East Midlands for a "splash and dash", having first remembered to click DIVERT on FSAirlines.
Imagine my surprise when the system registers me as having landed at Liverpool!!

Re: Where?
Hmm.. I don't recall Liverpool having a runway extension that big!! I'm surprised that both you AND the DC3 are are recorded as being at Liverpool. I've known it happen where the aircraft was at one airport and the pilot at another Ah well.. alls well that ends well

Re: Where?
Sorry to drag up an older thread but thought that it would be better than starting a new one.
I have just diverted to Amsterdam Schipol due to low fuel, during my return to Newcastle from Pafos.
Went to look at my continuation but FSA have me as being at EGNT with a 100% flight record.
Have we found a bug in the system?
Cheers

Re: Where?
It certainly looks like the 'Divert' function is having a bad hair day. I wonder if FSA have changed the code so that a successful diversion will automatically result in the aircraft, passengers and crew being moved on to their filed destination I've seen nothing to say this has happened but to be honest.. I don't keep my finger on the pulse over there.

Re: Where?
That does sound like a bug, I am pretty sure there were no recent changes in that area on FSA. I will contact the appropriate authority and hopefully they can get to it, some day.
Joe Cusick,
I am serious, and don't call me Shirley.

Re: Where?
Still the same, EFHK to EGWU in the DC3, which was always going to be a struggle, diverted to Valkenburg navy base (Netherlands) but credited with full route.
Old pilots never die, they just run out of runway.
Re: Where?
Well at least we know the divert function now works, unexpectedly high fuel consumption en route to Lisbon, glided in to a superb landing at Santa Margarida!
Should have got a bonus for that landing, not a penalty!
