Brief description of the issue:
Previously, when planning a flight, the estmated flight time was displayed on the route. Now, since SU5 hf2 this is not the case anymore. So you do not have an idea how long the flight is going to take.

I’m consistently getting flight time showing when I use the 930 and all the GA aircraft I’ve been using. I’ll have a look at some things when I’m in the sim next and see if I can duplicate. I’m not sure what that highlighted segment of your plan is indicating, so I’ll look at that, too.

Thanks for the reply. The highlighted segment was selected manually, not always there… However I noticed that after adding a departure the flight time became visible… Will do some addtional tests.

Here is an example of a second flight, from EGKK to EIDW. IFR, selected both departure and arrival and still no flight time. Even exiting and entering the screen does not help :frowning:

Apparently that particular bug hasn’t made its way to me…yet! I’ve tried numerous setups and can’t get it to replicate. I’ll keep an eye on things and see if it shows up. Obviously there’s a bug in there somewhere. Glad to see you submitted a zendesk report. We’ll let them figure it out!

Since su5 I very rarely get the flight distance and flight time information on screen. As you can imagine things are frustrating trying to plan any flight longer than a short hop.

Has anybody else encountered this problem and if so, have you managed to find a solution to the problem.

Thanks for any help or advice.

Issue is hard to reproduce for me… Last flight flight time was there, but one of my previous flights it was completely missing. Have not found a workaround yet.

Please vote as well to bring the issue under the attention of the devs :wink:

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a flight time marker on my routes (PC version). Now I’m depressed.

17

I’m on Xbox I seemed to have fixed it by setting my arrival then my departure

It’s the other way around but it is indeed working on PC as well. Thanks for sharing!

Having the same issue here on a new laptop and fresh install of Flight Sim.

Our test team isn’t able to reproduce this one yet - they have tried setting multiple types of flight plans in different areas.

If anyone is having this issue and would like to help, please provide your repro steps, and include any other details that could be relevant like plane, location, etc.

Thanks!
