Bumpy Takeoff

Taking off from MSDS in a 737-200 today about 50ft down the runway it 'bumps' and considers it a takeoff. When it comes back down (seconds later) it considers it an arrival and I havn't gotten up to speed to takeoff yet!

Is there a way to fix this problem (I know the bump is within FS) so that when you are takeoff or taxing and you run into a bump it doesn't consider it a takeoff. Such as a timer? Won't consider anything a takeoff unless you have been airborn for a something like 5 seconds?

I don't think that this really IS a problem, because when you take off after having bumped the Client will notice that and set the flight to "take off"-state again.

The problem is it shows my depature and arrival time are the same and if I continue my 'gate' time or shutoff time will be 3 hours later. Won't that screw things up?

Are you sure the arrival time doesn't change to the proper value when you arrive 3 hours later ?

HAHA never finished the flight :-P I didn't want to screw everything up with my records. I'll try it again tonight and let you know if it does or not.

Keever...

Isn't the name of your airline "I Fly Smart"?

Well ending a flight without proving out the bug isn't "smart" is it? :lol:

Sorry, had to buddy.

PS, Konny, how is it that after a minor crash my airline's rep went from 100% to 26%? I have 4 flights of 100%, so I would think that my rating wouldn't be hurt THAT much.

As I said I didn't want to screw up anything and having a problem I've never ran into before I wasn't sure what it would do. I didn't want to fly for 3 hours then figure it counted for nothing.
