First Two Legs and a Couple PIREP Issues
« on: March 31, 2021, 12:04:28 PM »
Flew the Xcub to PANT and PAKT on my first two legs...I'll get used to Cigar Box eventually.

Oddly, there are two PIREPS filed for the second flight. Both show that I flew in a J-3, but I don't know how that happened. Over-eager mouse-clicks, I'm sure. I did both legs in a single aircraft: A CC19.

Because the flight legs are set up with a certain aircraft, if you change aircraft, load the bid/fp then change the aircraft in the aircraft window.. once selected Load aircraft, and the aircraft will be changed. 

As per pics below:

There is a lag in feedback from Cigar Box.  When you have finished your flight and clock stop, you will get Pirep ready, click ok and file the Pirep....done.  Disregard any and all further popups. The Pirep files within a few seconds, but may return a time out etc.  You usually have to restart Cigar Box for each flight.  When using charter, beside to select and load the airplane first or you will have to re-enter the flight information.

Before also to select flight number if you are not flying a tour.  For tours, select the leg in the tour center and then select get data in Cigar Box.....that should take care of the basics.

PS: when you file a pirep, in 5 secs if will show on the MFC site.. So check there immediately, and if you see your pirep report you can simply close Cigar Box, as the pirep has been submitted.

Among all my flights there was not one that wasn't filed after I pressed File Pirep.
