I just noticed that unfortunately my site is very boring and has minimum differences from now and then. This is appliable to many sites that use phpvms. I am thinking of making it more social. Any ideas are greatly appreciated! My ideas are having a forum and chat for now... I was thinking of IRC but then thats too old. And i need something new and fresh that my pilots will like. Any suggestions??? Thanks in advance! Tom

One stupid question, Is there a timeout for the live map and flights online ? Because I tested fsacars yesterday with fsx and it crashed... My flight is still shown even if the status is "FSCARS closed". Imagine 50 flights a days, the map would light up like Xmas tree ;D Cheers !

I wanted to suggest a pilot pay module, I think this would be a popular add on or module. It would be nice to assign pay by rank. What do you think??

Hey everyone, I think I am going to remove flight legs. Now since you can enter letters into the flight numbers, the leg's are kinda "obsolete", since you can just add it as part of the flight number. Also, FSACARS and FSPAX don't support it, so it's throwing things off with PIREPs and those finance calculations, and other 'future plans' which I have in mind. It just adds another layer of complexity, which is just giving me a big headache, and doesn't really serve a huge purpose (I don't think many of you are using legs) Just giving a heads up. Nabeel

Hi all, I'm having some problems. I'm trying to create a repaint for a virtual airline. I'm using Photoshop CS6 to create the repaint, I've been following youtube videos on how to repaint aircrafts. I seem to be doing really well, Creating textures, converting to DDS, creating the correct files on fsx. The problem starts when opening the repainted aircraft in fsx. Take a look at the attached images to see what the problem is. Any ideas on what is wrong, please contact me. Thanks.

Hi Folks, I was just wondering how many of you are using the live fuel pricing? If you are using it, how do you find it is working out? To date, I have been using a generic fuel price but would like to move to the live pricing. I just was wondering if it seems to be going alright at this point or what is there that I need to watch out for. Thanks, Chuck CYXU

Hey guys, as we are a business va we don't need a scheduling system in which you have to fill in a detailed departure and arrival time. Our pilots should be free in their choice of day and time. Is there any module which solves the problem that you have to fill in the date and time? All we need is a date on which the flight should at the latest be done. Hope you know what I mean! And is it possible that our pilots can create a schedule on their own, so that the pilots can book exactly the flights they wanna fly? Thanks!

I couldn't find this information anywhere, so I will ask here. DO I earn virtual currency when I fly for a VA using phpVMS? Does the VA I fly for earn money when I successfully complete flights? Do the VAs have to pay to maintain FBOs? Do the VAs have to pay for aircraft and the maintenance of those aircraft? If I do earn virtual currency, may I spend this virtual currency on virtual goods? If the answer to the majority of these questions are "yes", an active VA should hire me now, because I have been looking for something like what I think this is for a long time.

Something that might be quick and easy: (I hope it is) Is there a way to group awards ( or add groups) to later sort them out?

I just bought this app called Textastic for my iPad and heck! I gotta say it's freaking awesome app to code on the iPad on the go! Now I don't have to sit at my computer and code! I can code on my iPad anywhere now! It's well for the price! Only $9.99! You can code in many different languages, upload your files via FTP, Webdav, or see your HTML work locally on the iPad (I think but haven't tired). More info -> http://www.textasticapp.com/

Hello everyone and Nabeel, I have started a brand new website for the dicussion of everything flight simulation which of course includes Virtual Airlines and the software tha runs them. Be sure and register and promote your phpVMS site and your VA at: http://www.fsxxp.com Nabeel and others be sure and write articles about your site and software after registering you will have Author memebership which means you can write an article about your VA and phpVMS and post in the forums. You only have to register once to have access to all areas of the site! See you there! This is NOT a VA site so no competition here It is a flight simulation discussion site.

Before I take the plunge and move to the latest version, are there any caveats I should know of. I figure it is better to ask first, rather than get grumpy later. ;D

Hey guys, great work! I was wondering if there is a chance to get some other language files. Maybe someone already did the translation work?! If not in which file can I find all the parts to translate? Thanks! Sascha

Nabeel I have to appauld you on 2 fronts. First for making a wonderful product that has gone beyond what most would consider to be typical. Secondly, because of the first, you are bringing together some of the flight simulation community to actually help each other. Congrats Nabeel.

I need some ideas for the simplest way to disolay rosters, hubs, fleet and routes on our site. As administrator, I can see all these things, but to diisplay the information on the site, I need to do something that someone who is no a php proficient person can cobble together. Any suggestions. or have I missed something really obvious?

1. I've been experimenting with spry-based drop down menus. While they work fine, I'd like to set one up so it only appears after the pilot is logged in. What is the best way to do this? 2. Somewhere, I saw a thread where there were several graphics that could be used to advertise phpVMS. I can't recall where I saw it and no keyword I can think of allows me to successfually search for it. Anyone know where it is? 3. Duh, I forgot what 3 is.

Whenever you call <?php MainController::Run('Pilots', 'RecentFrontPage', 5); ?> on any pages, it pulls the list of recent Pilots however immediately above it there is "test" displayed.So this is what it outputs for me.testBLU1004 Quinn RognessBLU1003 Tyler HartmannBLU1002 Leonard JungckBLU1001 Vince NovakThis can be seen on most pages at test.ceruleanairlines.com

what about automatic route scheduling. Something like all you have to do is enter all of the airports you serve and then the program does the rest. I'm not sure how difficult it would be to progrma something like this. Just an idea though!

Hey guys... recently I have been asked to make about 4 non FS related websites... Rather than start from scratch I plan on just using a CMS and skinning it. What is your favorite CMS? Pros/Cons Personally I like WordPress, but I am interested in trying new stuff. Anyone use eZ Publish?
