Wrong Airport Failure VERY frustrating

[bvl]

Hi there. The following problem appeared (after more than 300 flights without problems) in 3 flights out of the last 4 flights.
Example:
Today i flew from Cologne (EDDK) to Sharjah (OMSJ). I set the destination to OMSJ. After the flight, FSPassengers tells me that i made a
flight from ZSGS to EDDK and landed at the wrong destination (OMSJ) !!!

This happened now at 3 different airport pairs.

My points are now bad, also the reputations has gone lower than i want.

I am now in need of
1) a solution
2) a possibility to correct the stats / my pilot log.

I guess your solution might be here

Interesting. I will try uninstalling the chinese scenery (but: i like it).

But Questions remain: why is fspassengers to sensible? Normally it would not be a problem, because fspax could get the coordinates of
the actual position after landing, then compare these data to an airport database (next airport is the landing airport).
It would be simple, would'nt it? Why does FSPax use another method?

And: What do i have to watch for when installing addon if i do not want do run in trouble again?

and very most important: How can i now correct my pilots log???

About addons, sometimes they can have very unexpected effects. It's not just affecting fsp, it can do things where you least expect it. Always be
careful and nowadays i always make a full backup of the fs9 dir before i add anything new.
I sometimes do install the addon first in a temp directory, telling the addon that there's my fs9 setup (which is not of course) but at least i get an
idea of what it tries to install
About your fsp being to sensible question, i leave that to Dan, the programmer, to answer.
Maybe try the website of that chinese addon, maybe they do have a patch for this?

FsP get such the data from the best source possible in this case: Fs9 himself.
more precisely the GPS of FS9....

That's in a way true and a good idea.
But there are cases, where the idea described above could work better (in other situations it could be vice versa).
The solutations could be

1) INFORM ON ERROR: Crosscheck with an fsinternal list of airports, possibly in lieu with point 2...
2) and/or CORRECT: making the after-flight-report in a way editable to be able to correct possible errors, or
3) or simply INFORM HOW TO AVOID: at least include an information in the doc how to avoid the problem described above (i am sure it
has something to do with the fs9 internal navigation database/afcads. Perhaps a list of known incompatible addons ( i think there will
only be a few) could help) based on user reports (may be problematic because it make result in workload to make sure no users report
incompatibilities that are no incompatibilities...).

I plan to do flights to Amsterdam and Munster EDDG and read there may be also such a problem with EHAM.
So i would like to know if this occurs only with an EHAM Addon airport or also with the default airport...
with FS9.

BTW: What are you working at, Dan? Are you continuing your work an FSPassengers? What can we expect in the future? What are your
plans? I would like to see more of your very creative and high quality work!

About EHAM, the projectX addon has some problems, the default airport is fine and cloud9 from patch 1 onwards also

Since installing Traffic 2005 from JustFlight I've had the same at some airports, it seems I'm parking on a helipad and that's registering
as a seperate airport. D'OH
