Filed my first pirep twice
« on: July 11, 2020, 03:47:58 AM »
There is a duplicate of my pirep from leg 1 of the Misty triangle tour. I got an error when filing (time exceeded or so) and tried again.

Ok Werner- no problem. We do have an issue of cigar box timeout issue. Once you "File pirep" it takes @ 2 seconds to be received by the site. (The the site has many calculations to do with your pirep and can't get the response that "your pirep was received" back to cigar box fast enough so this results in a timeout error.

So when you send a pirep, and before trying again, just glance the site and you'll see your pirep sitting on top of the Recent Reports ie:

Recent Reports
#13721 - MFC31321 - Werner Reule

And if you see your pirep there, it has been successfully sent to the site and received - so you can simply close out Cigar Bar. and don't have to Try again.  (Just one of those things we can't fix due to Cigar Box timeout value in the code).

PS: The duplicate pirep was removed Sir Werner.
