No offence intended here, but this sounds like a bit of absent mindedness here when selecting the 'destination airport' in the 'load aircraft' menu -
i.e. inputing Manchester instead of Brum completey and utterly becuase Manchester was on your mind. It's soemthing I've done with a couple of long
hauls between EGLL and KSFO (oops!). If it isn't the sudden loss of reality, then I'm not entirely sure.

Thanks for the reply .. and certainly no offence taken when it comes to absent mindedness LOL... but Im 100% sure I selected EGCC > EGBB since its a
saved route in FSX .. and also the report actually states that I chose EGCC > EGBB

Was more wondering if it was a known bugette similar to bouncing on take off and having it recorded as a landing (anyone who has used FlyNet will know
that one).

As I said, Im very new to FSPx (only bought it yesterday) so am trying to understand the way it all works.

Try to do a little longer flight, fe around 100Nm....
It could very well be that AFCADs are conflicting in your area of operations. It is NOT and FSP error, just an FS one unfortunately

[Shodan]

Thanks for the advice Tracker, I only undertook that short hop because it would have gotten me the points I needed for c4, hence why the penalty made
me go ... AGGGHHH! lol

I'll be mindful in future, thanks again

You typed you departure airport into the destination field.

End of. Problem solved. Close thread.
