I had a strange experience yesterday with MyAAS.
The flight, Bid Flight 406-FDX-500 KEWR-LEBL flown 5-December. MyAAS flight time 18.9 hours. Actual flight time 7.4 hours.
The night before, I had several hours on a flight. It was getting late so I paused the flight. I remember 6.8 hours flight time on the clock and MyAAS.
The next morning (+/- 11 hours later) I un-pause the flight and continue on my merry way. I see the green light on MyAAS, all was well. Then I noticed 2 instances of MyAAS in the taskbar. I clicked on one, and was presented with the "MyAAS lost connection with FSX" screen and prompting to "retry" or "cancel". I pressed "retry" and it reconnected.
When I again checked MyAAS, green light still on, but the flight time had increased to just over 18 hours.
What I think happened, MyAAS lost connectivity just before I paused FS. The warning window was behind the FS window. I paused FS, but MyAAS kept on ticking waiting for me to "retry". I didnt see the retry until the next morning after I un-paused and when it re-connected it updated my time as if I'd been flying all night.
So is it something to spend time on and and investigate? Maybe, if someone is bored, definitely not a high priority issue. About the only thing I might ask is if MyAAS loses connectivity with FS, does it stop recording the time. And now I'm taking my developer hat off and going back to being a pilot (the greatness of which is also probably in my own mind :lol: ).
And if I may, all I kindly request is that someone please adjust the flight time to 7.4 hours. Thanks in advance.
