135nm in 6min in Beechcraft King Air 350.

Well, that's what this flight seems to say, Quebec - Montreal block to block in 6 minutes:

I had lots of problem with SB in FS-X, that probably screwed the pooch.

05:35 Take-off
...
06:14 TouchDown


Even that time doesn't make sense, 39 minutes, no way I can do that. There must have been some bug in the time reporting. The fastest I've ever done it was in 58 minutes and that was parked at a gate close to take-off and parking at the closest gate at destination.

A more realistic time would be about 1:10 minimum just by looking at my other times. I've been flying the same 2 routes back and forth; 274R Quebec-Montreal and 266R Quebec-Montreal.

I've gone back to flying offline until I can get SB on a 2nd PC.

Well, after checking another flight to see differences, I don't have this entry at the start of the bad flight:

17:07 Parking Brakes off

I religiously start engines with the parking brake ON, or else I ram the pushback truck while I set instruments. There must have been a burp, maybe when FS-X crashes from my SB problems, and FSacars asks to resume log. I bet I lost some data during that time 'cause I start up SB and squawk stand-by right after I start engines.

Then I set up my flight plans in FS and SB, set autopilot heading with runway and set minimum altitude (ready to turn on AP as soon as ascent is confirmed and gears/flaps are up), except this time the SB panel was jerking me around. I remember ALT-TAB out, couldn't get back in, FS-X crash, restart FS-X and resume log.

Make that 266R Montreal - Quebec.

That's a very complex system you got there Robert. Lots of challenges. I get the feeling that you like the setting up as much as the flying. You must!
