strange route bug

[knight01]

I have a route for AHY007 (UBBB - EGLL) and AHY008 (EGLL - UBBB) in the database, but the route(s) do not show on the map or the Myflights list.

I've only noticed it with this airline.

Did you add that route manually?

We just checked one of our stations near Heathrow and have records of those flights and aircrafts but we do not have any routes for AHY. If you have added it manually, please check you haven't added an extra space after the flight id as that will confuse it.

I added the routes manually. There is no extra space after the flight ID.  Strange, I've added quite a number of routes lately and this is the only route that is not showing.

Delete the AHY rows you added and add them again. It may be case of some character has been entered by mistake or as you committed it to the database for some reason it wasn't fully written.

I've Deleted the row/route and added it again, now just have to wait and see.

Hi

I think this is a bug and the leading 0 or 00 in the flight numberare the problem.The first time these flight numbers populate they show ok but on subseqent contacts the routings do not show in the list. The way I get round this is to enter your flight IDs as AHY7 and AHY8 and then should be ok, this works for me.

Hope this solves your problem

Hi All,

You're kidding, I hope.

Are we seriously suggesting that the route lookup algorithm isn't capable of working out that AHY007 and AHY7 are the same flight number ?

I'd be ashamed of myself if I'd programmed anything like that.

I had for example EXS001A EGAA-EGNX (manually input) in my route table which did not show in the list,added EXS1A with the same route and it now shows in the list. Also had this problem with AFR0xx,  flights when they were automatically populated.
