I did a search trying to figure out if there was a specific place to put these kind of messages, but they seem to be in every forum, so I will try it here. I flew two flights today both acars logged and both online. I had an issue during the second flight where the acars seemed to freeze up and the only way to get it clocking me again was to click on "end flight" and then click on "start flight: to get things going again. Seemed to work just fine, but after logging on this evening and looking at my flight report I see two problems. The flight was from Atlanta to Guatemala City, it was flight 993 Leg 2, but the report shows it as 993 Leg 1. I am almost positive that I had it as Leg 2 in the acars screen. The second problem is that the flight was flown online using Vatsim, but is doesn't show that. I haven't had these issue was any of my previous flights, did I do something wrong?

Hi Curtis,

This is the correct channel to post issues related to Flight Reports. It is highly likely that ACARS timed out or encountered a problem resulting in resetting the information on the flght report section of ACARS. I doubt that you were responsible for the omissions or changes. We are still working out a few bugs in the ACARS system that will cause an occassional disconnect or data dump.

I amended your flight report accordingly.

Feel free to contact us should you have continued problems or if an error was made in filing a flight report. Fortunately we can amend the reports readily.
