Diverted, but didnt!
Hi
While flying VC9 G-AZRE back to Manston EGMH from Milan LIMC I had a total engine failure just past Paris and all attempts to restart failed, so I requested to divert on the FSAir client and successfully landed at small drome LFQN.
However, FSAir shows I landed safely at Manston with a penalty only for neglecting to turn on Landing Lights. (I had other things on my mind)
Any ideas?
Geoff

Hi Geoff..
This is probably the 3rd time I've seen this happen recently. There's obviously a bug in FSA causing diverts to report the flight completed. Continue on to your next chosen flight as if this flight ended correctly at Manston

Only this time I diverted to JFK, but the system has me still at CYYT.
Can someone correct that because there is no aircraft at St Johns, and it cant do LHR from there anyway, runway too short.

I just noticed that.... 0 miles and 17,247,775 income. A very profitable venture

A nice strong westerly sprung up allowing me to teleport the aircraft back to St Johns and load enough fuel for the crossing hopefully all the way to London

Adrian, I moved you and your concord to JFK and unbooked your flight (hope that is what you wanted)
Joe Cusick,

While you were posting that I was part way back across the atlantic from St Johns to LHR, didn't think I was going to be able to lift enough fuel from that runway but the wind helped enormously.
