Hi all, I thought it would be a good idea to introduce myself around here, so off we go! My name is Stefan, and currently I'm doing an IT Management study, and next to that I'm doing my PPL course. I was looking for software that would allow me to manage a virtual airline convienently, but also be able to costumize it to my preferences. Well, I have to say that PhpVMS looks rather daunting at first, but fortunatly I've got the rest of this week still off so I've got plenty of time on my hands to bite into it. But I do like to ask if anyone around here has a couple tips for a newcomer like me. I do have experience with basic HTML, but none with PHP. So every tip, ever…

If your in the xmas spirit or it is snowing where you live like it is here in Ohio, then I found an easy to use snow script that uses no images and thought I would share.. <!--Simply copy and paste into <BODY> Just above the </BODY> tag. --> <script type="text/javascript"> /* Snow Fall 1 - no images - Java Script Visit http://rainbow.arch.scriptmania.com/scripts/ for this script and many more */ // Set the number of snowflakes (more than 30 - 40 not recommended) var snowmax=35 // Set the colors for the snow.

So taking a break from Dreamweaver and decided to give the VHHX scenery a run for its money while fogged in. i noticed though the fog layer is not what fog should look like, yes i know its a game and there is rex to make it look real but my computer is not the best in world but is somewhat decent but flytampa, JF-757-200 and REX just don't get along very well on my graphics card so with that said can anybody recommend me to a fog add on that would replace the fsx hase if so that would be great.

I've seen a few people making and distributing IFE systems for VA's to offer to their pilots, but I don't buy into the concept. I understand that a long haul flight can be boring, but I don't see a need for an IFE. Those I've seen being advertised here are just glorified iframes with media being streamed from external sources inside them. There is no integration with the flight sim software, so it's just as easy to run the sim in a window, and watch media stored on the PC in another window. costs nothing, and almost certainly works better than some of these IFE's. Another thing to consider if the media being streamed is stored on the VA's server, is that streaming media i…

hello some time ago I tried to sign up with IVAO but the listbox where you're supposed to put your country didnt work.. somebody cocked up a javascript. Doesn't work on IE nor on chrome. I thought maybe they working on it, so I left it. Now I come back and see the same error is still there. Anyone else also experiences this?

I only heard the other week that Lockheed bought the license for FSX ESP, and have released their updated version of FSX, which is called PREPAR3D. Shows how behind the times I am! I've just subscribed to the developer version, and am waiting for the install to finish. Is anyone else using it, and if so what are your thoughts on it? I'll post up once I've had a chance to take a flight with it.

I've just finished work on the new pilots profile layout and styling for my site, and would welcome any feedback on it.

This System is no longer in development. It is exclusive to only the virtual airlines already operating this system. Hello Guys, I recently finished coding a Dynamic Inflight Entertainment System, and since the current results are outstanding, I would like to share with you guys more information about this module, I am planning to start distributing soon. I named it DYNIFE. DYNIFE refers to Dynamic Inflight Entertainment System. This system is an inflight entertainment, but not like the others. PM if anyone is interested, I can give you alot more information including access to the demo.

Hi all, I'm looking for a front-end developer, with heavy experience in Javascript (backbone, ember, sencha), and experience with Phonegap/Apptanium. Some PHP is good. Must be willing to learn and go the extra mile to figure things out. You need to be able to architect and code some fairly complicated UIs, with code-reuse and develop libraries for use across multiple interfaces. Preferably in the NY area and can commute to Stamford, CT once a week or so, but if you're particularly strong we can maybe do a work-from-remote. It's a really cool startup, and I'll be your boss Let me know if you're interested, or know someone who is.

Dear Fellow Flight Lovers, First off, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Scott Clawson, I am a retired UPS manager who worked in both their operations and security departments. I have just recently aquired a VA, and am very new to this hobby. What I am not new to is the fact that we have folks who like to steal. Whether it is packages, other peoples ideas, work or just something as silly as a phrase without giving them credit, it is still theft. This is my first post here and I am a bit on the sad side because I was expecting better from this group. Yes we all like to play in the dirt from time to time but wouldn't the easiest approach be to just surgically remov…

So I was thinking, seeing as phpVMS is hosted on github, we could get around the whole downloading a zip, uploading, etc etc etc. How easy would it be to set up a "stable" branch of phpVMS on github, which the updater can pull a zip of and install itself? (Also if it's not that easy, having a "stable" branch alone would be super handy as the master is not always error-free, and there aren't any historic downloads in the downloads tab on github )

Me and my COO were sitting in our teamspeak earlier discussing things when a random user named Colin Woody popped in. We have never given anything about our website or teamspeak out. He claimed to be a web designer working for Boeing and Mcdonald Douglas and coded a majority of their website. He claims to have done a lot of work with PHPVMS and actually had a fair amount of knowledge about the system. Now he wants to be a web designer for my VA. What should I do? He also has a VATSIM ID. Should I let him join or is he a little too suspicious? Cody

Good Evening Captains, I am going to write an article on a magazine about my virtual airline and generally the virtual flights. This will include an article with a presentation of my va and some faq about virtual airlines and flights. This is an aviation magazine but most readers do not know what a virtual flight or even airline is. I want you to suggest me questions in order to use them for the faq. The questions i have already built are: What is a virtual flight, IVAO and VATSIM? What is a virtual airline? What do i need to fly a virtual flight? Obviously i do not need the answers .
