I could not find the answer in the pilot guide...

I flew a leg that is flown by the EMB-175, but I flew it in the 757, both of which I'm rated for. After landing, the report stated I was overweight, no surprise, having filled as a 175. My question is, where do I set the type I'm actually flying the route with when assigning myself a flight?

Still new to DVA, still learning...

Michael, on acars there is a drop down menu on the bottom right (under pax count) on equipment type. On the site for flight assignment when you select the flight on the bottom just select the equipment type there. wink

Hope that helps.

Usally, I fly the plane that the Real World Delta Uses. I use the Flight#, plane, gates, runways, etc. To be realistic!!!

I'm a X-Plane user, so no ACARS love. But I don't know how I missed the dropdown on the assignment web page... Thanks!!

I fly the realistic aircraft, but don't have have the EMB175. That will change later today as will buy the Payware version of it for x-plane. Keeping it real!

That's nice! I'm a 100% X-Plane user, but luckily the FlightFactor 757 model is realistically modeled. It's one o fmy favorites to fly. Besides their 767-300ER and the new 737-300 by IXEG and not the 737 NG freeware by EADT. Good times in X-Plane world :-)
