Hi Gary, I'm getting an error when adding a new flight plan. In the browser console window:

Code Select Expand

blazor.server.js:19 [2021-05-22T10:39:25.389Z] Error: There was an unhandled exception on the current circuit, so this circuit will be terminated. For more details turn on detailed exceptions by setting 'DetailedErrors: true' in 'appSettings.Development.json' or set 'CircuitOptions.DetailedErrors'.

The plan I tried to add is BAW 848 from OTHH - WMKK at 1410.

[Gary Oliver]

Godatum,

Try again that should work... was an issue with OTHH in the database.

Cheers
G

[GodAtum]

Thanks for the quick fix

Hello, Gary,
Thanks for the great dispatch system. Is it possible for me to request adding China Airlines as one of the airlines option? IATA: CI, ICAO: CAL. Thanks in advanced!

Gary,

Thanks for the update ... V6.0.5 is working flawlessly here.

Is there any chance that you can add a tweak so that BACARS can take a fuel entry in LBS in excess of the total allowable amount it can parse in KGS? There are heathens amongst us who like to fly mixed fleets some of which still like to use lbs as the weight index?

The maximum number would never exceed 383000 unless somebody tried to fly an ER PAX in lbs.

Enjoy your WorldFlighting

[Gary Oliver]

Steve,

LBS fixed

Chi-cheng Liu,

CAL added, let me know if you want something other than the LIDO format on the plan.

All,

Lots of pre world flight updates.

Thanks Gary

Hi Gary
I am updating the Guide to the latest release (will take some time still, because I want to take screenshots of the newest Outputs as well). One Question: Are the Correction Code 82 (IFE Antenna fitted) and 87 (WIFI Antenna fitted) still included?

@all BA Pilots: It would be interesting, if there are any other equpment related Performance Correction Codes available. 

Kind Regards
Beat

[Gary Oliver]

Ah!

I only copied the first page of codes in the change log, I'll add the rest (80-99) when I get home.

[VolleyballCALVA]

Chi-cheng Liu,

CAL added, let me know if you want something other than the LIDO format on the plan.

Thank you so much! Gary. If we can have the flightplan in CAL's format would be great. If it's too much trouble, I can stick with the LIDO one. Thank you!

[Greg Hateley]

Could I ask some help from thoes who have got V6.0.7 working.
Everything has "green" boxes except "winds" (Red)
Any ideas of what I have missed here.
At the moment we are still manually copy and pasting the upper winds into psx.

Greg

[Captain_Crow]

Hi Greg,
same here, I always copy the winds from Simbrief sheet into PSX.
Best
Steff

[Gary Oliver]

Greg,

The winds uplink only works for BA format flight plans it seems.

I promised the QFA team to take a look for them, so I will look for you guys too!

Cheers
Goli

I know I'm missing something obvious, but where do I find the BACARS manual? Thanks!
