Right ho, that's easy.
Many thanks.

Just note the flight time you want to book and add this to the initial
departure time to get a (fictitious) landing time. Just ignore the fact that
you split the flight into two. It will flag up an error when I process the
pirep but I can override this.

I started a flight, at sparrow f..t today, from San Diego to Honolulu.
Duration was estimated at 4hrs 45 mins, not allowing for winds.
I departed at 0748 Ramsey time, so was facing a lunchtime landing.
Unfortunately SWMBO decided it would be a good idea to go shopping in
Douglas and that meant leaving about 11 am. Exhibiting a marked degree
of LMF, I agreed, made a note of the time, saved my in flight situation
and exited IVAO, just before exiting Ramsey.
Back in the house once again and I connected to IVAO and finished the
flight.
Should I book the flight as having departed when I did and landed when I
first connected? Should I add the two times together and derive my exact
time of arrival by adding the total time to my actual departure time? Do
I have to write off the entire flight? Answers on a piece of brown paper
please.
BTW, Honolulu is an excellent FSX destination. My landing was to rwy
26L, where the ILS localiser (no Glideslope provided) is offset onto a
heading of 308 deg, to avoid the city's high rise buildings. Once on the
ground and it covers a much bigger area than Thiefrow. It's a pity that
FSX's AI seems incapable of following offset approaches, ploughing on
using the runway heading.
