[BETA] New Flight Plan form on myVATSIM

[1277383 (Marcelo Barretto)]

Just pushed an update with a few fixes:

• OPR/ is no longer limited to 3 characters - thanks @810369
• All fields are properly converted to upper case - thanks @1068951
• Parser no longer shows an error on line 5 when missing an “Alternate” - thanks @1195842

 

@810369

Suggestion, when loading a saved flightplan change the date of the flightplan to the current date? So the error of a date in the past is not needed in the case.

Also when you select a new correct date, the errors message does not go away, which seems not logic to me?

There’s some additional validation/warnings that will be added to DOF and Off Block Time. Automatically converting to the current date might cause an issue for pilots that are refiling their flight plan during a long haul after reconnecting, where the actual DOF might be the day before - I know this is not properly handled right now, but it will be.
The error does not go away because that validation is happening on the backend, and that field is not configured for live validation (yet).

Maybe a suggestion: put in the default value which is appropriate for 99% of the flightsim VATSIM flights and have a pull down menu to change it in a different value?

Pretty much what @1627359 said. It would be difficult to come up with a proper default for this, and if we did, it might be an incentive for pilots to just always use the default, without even looking at it and/or filing what they actually have.
It won’t be a dropdown, but I am planning on a better way to fill in all fields that have specific options available, like equipment, PBN, PER, STS (soon™) etc.
