Hello,
This was my first flight for Intercity. I completed a flight and a couple of times checked that the ACARS was working but still my flight was left incomplete after I shut down my engines and deboarded.
Here is the flight tracked by vataware: http://www.vataware.com/flight/13918272 (http://www.vataware.com/flight/13918272)
Filed this for you

Looks like ACARS didnt recognise your off blocks, have a look at the manual button option in ACARS detailed here (http://viaintercity.com/forums/acars/acars-user-manual/) and then ACARS should work next time :)

Some pilots experience an issue where ACARS fails to recognise engine startup and shutdown. If this happens to you, you can choose to have Off and On Blocks buttons displayed on the Flight Logger screen. To activate this you need to tick the box next to "Manual Off/On Blocks". We recommend only using this if you have had the above issue as if not ACARS will register engine start and shutdown automatically. NB: Manual Off/On blocks setting cannot be changed once "Begin flight" has been clicked!
Oh and Welcome to Intercity 8)
Thank you! Will try that next time : 8)
