ETE in career ferry missions doubled since 1.2.7.0

[Giannino2]

ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue:
Ever since patch 1.2.7.0 the flight times listed in the mission description seem to be wrong.
Yesterday I patched the game to 1.2.7.0 and went to fly a ferry mission in career mode. I was surprised as most flight times were listed at 1:30hours, while the day before they were about 45mins.
Anyway, I accepted a mission from LFSN to LFSH in the Cornvallis and immediately noticed something was wrong, as the distance between the airports is 64nm and what with the Cornvallis cruise speed it was obvious it wouldn’t take me 1,5 hours to complete.
I flew the mission and the flight itself was about half an hour long, and the whole mission lasted about 40/45 mins block time.
The ETE listed in the mission descriptions seem to be about double what it really takes and double what were reported before applying the 1.2.7.0 patch.

ALWAYS

REPRODUCTION STEPS

Please list clear steps you took in order to help our test team reproduce the same issue:

1. Just look at the ETE listed for ferry missions in career mode and fly one. It will take half the reported time.

Okay so I’ve decided to upload a few pics to show what I mean.
What follows is a ferry flight from LFFJ to LFQA. As you can see the mission brief lists the flight time at 1h30’, but the distance is only 63NM!

Now I’ve just taken off from LFFJ and, at a cruise speed of 163kts, the ETE is less than 20mins!

In fact, as expected, I was able to fly the whole mission in half an hour.

I’ve then tried a mission with a different plane and mission category, so I took a cargo flight in the C172.

The flight is from FMNC to FMAD, the flight time is listed at 1h00’, but the distance is only 37NM!

Here I am climbing at 85kts, and the ETE is 22mins. Once I leveled off and the cruise speed rose to 95kts, the ETE dropped below 19 mins and again I was able to complete the mission in less than half an hour.

I think the mission endurance calculations are way off.

It’s been a bug since the update. All of the med cargo missions say 5 hours 30min or longer. Not sure if that’s total time in the real world? Like flight planning, loading, preflight etc. But it’s pretty easy to get around once you click on a mission and see the distance. Then you can divide the distance by the cruise speed and get a rough estimate of the time in flight.

I’d love some 1 hour hops in the med cargo missions, don’t always have 3 hours to plan, and execute a full flight
