AIFP Question

[flynby]

Downloaded this program Mon the 29. I find it totally impossible to use the times displayed in the jpeg picture when selecting any other time in the
Flight Plan Editor / Leg List except the 24 hr.
I want to use the 4 hr. It is more than enough time to make the flight too and from KSAT to KAUS. The distance is 57 miles 1 way and the duration is 38 minutes. But selecting the 4-6-8-12hr gives me a pop up window about improper format or something. Why?
No problem using Ttools. But I want to learn this program. Only use FSX.
Appreciate any help

If you want to use a 4hr. repeat, the times you enter must be between 00:00and 03:59.

If you really want to learn the program, you should invest the time to read the extremely well-written manual.

I did, and I'm very happy that I did! :D

But, 00:00 to 03:59 is night time. I want day time so I can see the AI.
That would be like 13:00. So I HAVE to use 24Hr time to accomplish this?
I am referring to GMT times only

Yes you will have to use the 24hr time.

Every 4 hours means precisely that: an a/c flying the same flight every four hours!

00:00 to 03:59 // this is the time-frame that defines the flight(s)
04:00 to 07:59 // all of the following time-frames repeat the flight(s)
08:00 to 11:59
12:00 to 15:59
16:00 to 19:59
20:00 to 23:59

Bill, thank you so much for the help.

Never saw this in the AIFP help, but that doesn't mean much either
Appreciate your time

...which oddly enough, is precisely where I read about it! Amazing, eh? :idea:
