I have made some minor changes to the way tests are run.

First, I've changed the code that made the system erroneously mark all tests as "Failed" upon submission. I had written a work-around that used a scheduled task to recalculate the pass/fail field, but it's a hack and a work-around and I haven't liked it for several months. I *think* I have it fixed now.

Second, the system is set up to not display correct answers if you have failed a test. I have taken things one step farther and the system should now not display correct answers if you have any tests open. I may take things farther and not display even your own answers if you have any tests open.

As with any web site changes, things may take 24-48 hours to shake out. If you notice that something's broken, please let me know.

To be fair to you, I'm going to move forward in two other areas. First, I have approached the EchoFlight folks about a license to distribute their content via our web site, available only to Delta Virtual Airlines pilots. That means you'll continue to get good approach charts, with some added benefits. Second, I'm going to put together a "How to decode a METER, Read an Approach Chart and everything else you need to know" document in the near future, once our 737 Manual comes out.

Cheers!

Luke

Yea Luke the Echoflight deal would be great, cause now I have to search and search for my flight charts and sometimes there aren't any.
