Jump ahead doesn’t update the time if you’re not flying I’m real time.

In short, when live time is enabled - works as intended

When flying at a custom time - doesn’t update time, keeps what it was before jump.

This is an issue as issue for those that fly with the time set to what it would be when the flight actually leaves!

Another suggestion that would be awesome if the time updated on the chrono and ET on the nds too!

Other than that no complaints, amazing aircraft :)

Hi,

Yes, you are correct. I'll pass along your suggestion to the team.

Thanks!

I would even say that it is way more important that it updates the time when you set it to a custom time than with real time. Because this way you can start a flight jump ahead into real time and then land with the real actual time and weather.

Yeah 100% I’d assume if you fly real time you’d want to always have to to what it is actually, and if you don’t you want it to be what it was in that specific moment of the flight.. hopefully that gets fixed soon!

Found another thing that doesn't seem to carry over, or maybe does not get saved at all.

The failure settings. I set them all to dynamic on my very first flight.

Now on my second flight with the same livery after a jump ahead I find them all switched off. Although it might be that they already were reset to off when I initially loaded the aircraft.

So maybe that is a different bug.

And since it’s setup to go ready for takeoff state, (I believe I read this on the FAQ page) the checklists also go back to right before takeoff instead of keeping along with the nd panels and light switches bar the pedestal knobs.

Since there is state saving and loading, would it be possible to instead of returning to the ready for takeoff/ generic flight state, saving the current state before the jump, then loading that same state again after, while adding both fuel used/reducing current fuel, and syncing the chronos with the amount of time it jumped forward?

I know absolutely nothing about coding and backend stuff so this is purely coming from a user perspective could very well not be a viable solution!

Great suggestion.

I have logged everything above with the team for a better user experience using the jump-ahead feature.

Thanks everyone!
