I wwas in the bowse schedule option in the pilot center looking up the ATL-STT-ATL run I was (am) interested in flying it as I have done it in real life several times on vaacation. It's showing the flight time at like 5 hours which isn't right. The 3 times i've flown it, it took us between 3hour 20minutes and just under 4 hours based on diffrent things like approach, head winds etc. but never 5 hours. It's also showing them in AT time. There is not time difference between Eastern standard and Saint Thomas. It's sjut that they don't observe daylight savings because their seaons (thus sun pattern) doesn't change much as the states.

Thats why the schedule is thrown off, same thing with MKJP-KFLL its showing at 2.6hrs when it is really 1.6hrs because Jamaica does not observe daylight savings time. Its a normal occurence with our schedules.

Ok gotcha. Thanks. I was just hoping that when I logged my time at like 3 hours 40 minutes or something, they reject it because it was WAY off the schedule. New so didn't know but thanks.

Upon examination, my rendering of Caribbean time zones is nothing short of atrocious. I need to add some functionality to the webapp to actually let us add/update time zone profiles but let me see if I can get this fixed.

Cheers!

Build 141 finally allows me to add/remove/update time zone profiles. I've added an entry for Jamaica time, I'll add another one for the Windward islands.

Cheers!

Thanks a lot Luke. It might sound kind of stupid but I pick my flights based on time. I don;t reall have the time to fly really long routes right now so anything over 3 or 4 hours I don't touch so I'm always in the schedule looking at times and when I saw that it threw me off. Thanks
